Struct Context 

pub struct Context<A: Actor> { /* private fields */ }

Handle passed to every handler and lifecycle hook, providing access to the actor’s mailbox and lifecycle controls.

Clone is cheap — it clones the inner channel sender and cancellation token.

Implementations

impl<A: Actor> Context<A>

pub fn from_ref(actor_ref: &ActorRef<A>) -> Self

Create a Context from an ActorRef. Useful for setting up timers or stream listeners from outside the actor.

pub fn stop(&self)

Signal the actor to stop. The current handler will finish, then stopped() is called and the actor exits.

pub fn send<M>(&self, msg: M) -> Result<(), ActorError>

where A: Handler<M>, M: Message,

Send a fire-and-forget message to this actor.

pub fn request_raw<M>(&self, msg: M) -> Result<Receiver<M::Result>, ActorError>

where A: Handler<M>, M: Message,

Send a request and get a raw oneshot receiver for the reply.

pub fn request<M>(&self, msg: M) -> Result<M::Result, ActorError>

where A: Handler<M>, M: Message,

Send a request and block until the reply arrives (default 5s timeout).

pub fn request_with_timeout<M>( &self, msg: M, duration: Duration, ) -> Result<M::Result, ActorError>

where A: Handler<M>, M: Message,

Send a request and block until the reply arrives, with a custom timeout.

pub fn recipient<M>(&self) -> Recipient<M>

where A: Handler<M>, M: Message,

Get a type-erased Recipient<M> for sending a single message type to this actor.

pub fn actor_ref(&self) -> ActorRef<A>

Get an ActorRef<A> from this context.

impl<A, M> Receiver<M> for Context<A>

where A: Actor + Handler<M>, M: Message,
