Struct protoflow_blocks::Encode

pub struct Encode<T: Message + ToString = String> {
    pub input: InputPort<T>,
    pub output: OutputPort<Bytes>,
    pub encoding: Encoding,
}

Examples

Using the block in a system

System::build(|s| {
    let stdin = s.read_stdin();
    let message_decoder = s.decode_lines();
    let counter = s.count::<String>();
    let count_encoder = s.encode_lines();
    let stdout = s.write_stdout();
    s.connect(&stdin.output, &message_decoder.input);
    s.connect(&message_decoder.output, &counter.input);
    s.connect(&counter.count, &count_encoder.input);
    s.connect(&count_encoder.output, &stdout.input);
});

Running the block via the CLI

$ protoflow execute Encode encoding=text

$ protoflow execute Encode encoding=protobuf

Fields

input: InputPort<T>

The input message stream.

output: OutputPort<Bytes>
