//! Potentially infinite async [`Stream`] response types.
//!
//! A [`Stream<Item = T>`] is the async analog of an `Iterator<Item = T>`: it
//! generates a sequence of values asynchronously, otherwise known as an async
//! _generator_. Types in this module allow for returning responses that are
//! streams.
//!

//!
//! # Raw Streams
//!
//! Rust does not yet natively support syntax for creating arbitrary generators,
//! and as such, for creating streams. To ameliorate this, Rocket exports
//! [`stream!`], which retrofit generator syntax, allowing raw `impl Stream`s to
//! be defined using `yield` and `for await` syntax:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! use rocket::futures::stream::Stream;
//! use rocket::response::stream::stream;
//!
//! fn make_stream() -> impl Stream<Item = u8> {
//!     stream! {
//!         for i in 0..3 {
//!             yield i;
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! See [`stream!`] for full usage details.
//!
//! # Typed Streams
//!
//! A raw stream is not a `Responder`, so it cannot be directly returned from a
//! route handler. Instead, one of three _typed_ streams may be used. Each typed
//! stream places type bounds on the `Item` of the stream, allowing for
//! `Responder` implementation on the stream itself.
//!
//! Each typed stream exists both as a type and as a macro. They are:
//!
//!   * [`struct@ReaderStream`] ([`ReaderStream!`]) - streams of `T: AsyncRead`
//!   * [`struct@ByteStream`] ([`ByteStream!`]) - streams of `T: AsRef<[u8]>`
//!   * [`struct@TextStream`] ([`TextStream!`]) - streams of `T: AsRef<str>`
//!   * [`struct@EventStream`] ([`EventStream!`]) - Server-Sent [`Event`] stream
//!
//! Each type implements `Responder`; each macro can be invoked to generate a
//! typed stream, exactly like [`stream!`] above. Additionally, each macro is
//! also a _type_ macro, expanding to a wrapped `impl Stream<Item = $T>`, where
//! `$T` is the input to the macro.
//!
//! As a concrete example, the route below produces an infinite series of
//! `"hello"`s, one per second:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! # use rocket::get;
//! use rocket::tokio::time::{self, Duration};
//! use rocket::response::stream::TextStream;
//!
//! /// Produce an infinite series of `"hello"`s, one per second.
//! #[get("/infinite-hellos")]
//! fn hello() -> TextStream![&'static str] {
//!     TextStream! {
//!         let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_secs(1));
//!         loop {
//!             yield "hello";
//!             interval.tick().await;
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `TextStream![&'static str]` invocation expands to:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! # use rocket::response::stream::TextStream;
//! # use rocket::futures::stream::Stream;
//! # use rocket::response::stream::stream;
//! # fn f() ->
//! TextStream<impl Stream<Item = &'static str>>
//! # { TextStream::from(stream! { yield "hi" }) }
//! ```
//!
//! While the inner `TextStream! { .. }` invocation expands to:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! # use rocket::response::stream::{TextStream, stream};
//! TextStream::from(stream! { /* .. */ })
//! # ;
//! ```
//!
//! The expansions are identical for `ReaderStream` and `ByteStream`, with
//! `TextStream` replaced with `ReaderStream` and `ByteStream`, respectively.
//!
//! ## Borrowing
//!
//! A stream can _yield_ borrowed values with no extra effort:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! # use rocket::get;
//! use rocket::State;
//! use rocket::response::stream::TextStream;
//!
//! /// Produce a single string borrowed from the request.
//! #[get("/infinite-hellos")]
//! fn hello(string: &State<String>) -> TextStream![&str] {
//!     TextStream! {
//!         yield string.as_str();
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! If the stream _contains_ a borrowed value or uses one internally, Rust
//! requires this fact be explicit with a lifetime annotation:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! # use rocket::get;
//! use rocket::State;
//! use rocket::response::stream::TextStream;
//!
//! #[get("/")]
//! fn borrow1(ctxt: &State<bool>) -> TextStream![&'static str + '_] {
//!     TextStream! {
//!         // By using `ctxt` in the stream, the borrow is moved into it. Thus,
//!         // the stream object contains a borrow, prompting the '_ annotation.
//!         if *ctxt.inner() {
//!             yield "hello";
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Just as before but yielding an owned yield value.
//! #[get("/")]
//! fn borrow2(ctxt: &State<bool>) -> TextStream![String + '_] {
//!     TextStream! {
//!         if *ctxt.inner() {
//!             yield "hello".to_string();
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // As before but _also_ return a borrowed value. Without it, Rust gives:
//! // - lifetime `'r` is missing in item created through this procedural macro
//! #[get("/")]
//! fn borrow3<'r>(ctxt: &'r State<bool>, s: &'r State<String>) -> TextStream![&'r str + 'r] {
//!     TextStream! {
//!         if *ctxt.inner() {
//!             yield s.as_str();
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Graceful Shutdown
//!
//! Infinite responders, like the one defined in `hello` above, will prolong
//! shutdown initiated via [`Shutdown::notify()`](crate::Shutdown::notify()) for
//! the defined grace period. After the grace period has elapsed, Rocket will
//! abruptly terminate the responder.
//!
//! To avoid abrupt termination, graceful shutdown can be detected via the
//! [`Shutdown`](crate::Shutdown) future, allowing the infinite responder to
//! gracefully shut itself down. The following example modifies the previous
//! `hello` with shutdown detection:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # extern crate rocket_community as rocket;
//! # use rocket::get;
//! use rocket::Shutdown;
//! use rocket::response::stream::TextStream;
//! use rocket::tokio::select;
//! use rocket::tokio::time::{self, Duration};
//!
//! /// Produce an infinite series of `"hello"`s, 1/second, until shutdown.
//! #[get("/infinite-hellos")]
//! fn hello(mut shutdown: Shutdown) -> TextStream![&'static str] {
//!     TextStream! {
//!         let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_secs(1));
//!         loop {
//!             select! {
//!                 _ = interval.tick() => yield "hello",
//!                 _ = &mut shutdown => {
//!                     yield "goodbye";
//!                     break;
//!                 }
//!             };
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
