task_local/
lib.rs

1//! Task-local storage for asynchronous tasks.
2//!
3//! This crate provides a way to store task-local values across `.await` points.
4//! It was extracted from the `tokio::task_local` module and can be used independently
5//! of the Tokio runtime.

16/// Declares a new task-local key of type [`LocalKey`].
17///
18/// # Syntax
19///
20/// The macro wraps any number of static declarations and makes them local to the current task.
21/// Publicity and attributes for each static is preserved. For example:
22///
23/// # Examples
24///
25/// ```
26/// # use task_local::task_local;
27/// task_local! {
28///     pub static ONE: u32;
29///
30///     #[allow(unused)]
31///     static TWO: f32;
32/// }
33/// # fn main() {}
34/// ```
35///
36/// See [`LocalKey` documentation][`LocalKey`] for more information.

67/// A key for task-local data.
68///
69/// This type is generated by the [`task_local!`] macro.
70///
71/// Unlike [`std::thread::LocalKey`], `LocalKey` will
72/// _not_ lazily initialize the value on first access. Instead, the
73/// value is first initialized when the future containing
74/// the task-local is first polled by a futures executor.
75///
76/// # Examples
77///
78/// ```
79/// # async fn dox() {
80/// task_local::task_local! {
81///     static NUMBER: u32;
82/// }
83///
84/// NUMBER.scope(1, async move {
85///     assert_eq!(NUMBER.get(), 1);
86/// }).await;
87///
88/// NUMBER.scope(2, async move {
89///     assert_eq!(NUMBER.get(), 2);
90///
91///     NUMBER.scope(3, async move {
92///         assert_eq!(NUMBER.get(), 3);
