pub struct ActorRef<E: SystemEvent, A: Actor<E>> { /* private fields */ }

A clonable actor reference. It basically holds a Sender that can send messages to the mailbox (receiver) of the actor.

Implementations

impl<E: SystemEvent, A: Actor<E>> ActorRef<E, A>

pub fn path(&self) -> &ActorPath

Get the path of this actor

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

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

pub async fn ask<M>(&self, msg: M) -> Result<M::Response, ActorError>

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

Send a message to an actor, expecting a response.

pub fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Checks if the actor mailbox is still open. If it is closed, the actor is not running.
