Struct remote_trait_object::ServiceToExport

pub struct ServiceToExport<T: ?Sized + Service> { /* fields omitted */ }

A special wrapper of skeleton, used to export a service object.

You can make any smart pointer of a trait object into a ServiceToExport as far as the trait is a subtrait of Service and marked with the macro service.

The only way to actually export a ServiceToExport is either

1. Returning it while handling a method in another service
2. Passing as an argument in a remote call

ServiceToExport is a compatible type with ServiceToImport and ServiceRef You can import a proxy object by putting one of those two types on the same place in the client side. See Service Compatibility section

ServiceToExport is a wrapper of Skeleton that hides the detail exchange process. However you don't have to know what Skeleton is, unless you're going to perform raw export and import.

NOTE: it implements Serialize, but you must NEVER try to serialize it. It has a side effect of registering the service object in the context, and so should be called only by remote-trait-object's internal process.

Example

use remote_trait_object::*;
use std::sync::Arc;
use parking_lot::RwLock;

#[service(no_proxy)]
pub trait Hello: Service {
    fn hello(&self) -> Vec<ServiceToExport<dyn Hello>>;
}

struct A;
impl Service for A {}
impl Hello for A {
    fn hello(&self) -> Vec<ServiceToExport<dyn Hello>> {
        // Export by return
        vec![
            ServiceToExport::new(Box::new(A) as Box<dyn Hello>),
            ServiceToExport::new(Arc::new(A) as Arc<dyn Hello>),
            ServiceToExport::new(Arc::new(RwLock::new(A)) as Arc<RwLock<dyn Hello>>),
        ]
    }
}

Implementations
