Struct Connection 

pub struct Connection { /* private fields */ }

Connection

This struct is a helpful struct to handle the nitty gritty of connections, such as reading and writing to the stream

Implementations

impl Connection

pub fn new(connection_type: ConnectionType, read_buffer_size: usize) -> Self

New

Create a new connection handler from a TcpStream

pub async fn read_to_string(&mut self) -> Result<String, &'static str>

Read To String

Read the TcpStream to a String

pub async fn write_string(&mut self, data: String) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>

Write String

Write a String value to the TcpStream. Returns a Result as we cannot guarantee a successful write.

pub async fn write_bytes(&mut self, data: Vec<u8>) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>

Write Bytes

Write bytes to the TCP stream, useful for sending data for things such as images or downloadable binary files
