pub fn send_after<TMessage, F>(
    period: Duration,
    actor: ActorCell,

Expand description

Sends a message after a given period to the specified actor. The task terminates once the send has completed

  • period - The Duration representing the time to delay before sending
  • actor - The ActorCell representing the crate::Actor to communicate with
  • msg - The FnOnce message builder which is called to generate a message for the send operation

Returns: The [JoinHandle<Result<(), MessagingErr>>] which represents the backgrounded work. Awaiting the handle will yield the result of the send operation. Can be safely ignored to “fire and forget”
