An actor reference exposes methods to interact with its underlying
actor.
All actor references are products of system.actor_of
or context.actor_of
. When an actor is created using actor_of
an ActorRef
is returned.
Actor references are lightweight and can be cloned without concern
for memory use.
In the event that the underlying actor is terminated messages sent
to the actor will be routed to dead letters.
If an actor is restarted all existing references continue to
function.
Actor name.
Unique among siblings.
Actor path.
e.g. /user/actor_a/actor_b
Iterator over children references.
type Msg = Msg
Implement to provide message routing to actors, e.g. ActorRef
and ActorSelection
