Struct FutureWriter 

pub struct FutureWriter<T: 'static> { /* private fields */ }

Represents the writable end of a Component Model future.

A FutureWriter can be used to send a single value of T to the other end of a future. In a sense this is similar to a oneshot channel in Rust.

Implementations

impl<T> FutureWriter<T>

pub fn write(self, value: T) -> FutureWrite<T>

Write the specified value to this future.

This method is equivalent to an async fn which sends the value into this future. The asynchronous operation acts as a rendezvous where the operation does not complete until the other side has successfully received the value.

Return Value

The returned FutureWrite is a future that can be .await’d. The return value of this future is:

• Ok(()) - the value was sent and received. The self value was consumed along the way and will no longer be accessible.
• Err(FutureWriteError { value }) - an attempt was made to send value but the other half of this FutureWriter was dropped before the value was received. This consumes self because the channel is now dropped, but value is returned in case the caller wants to reuse it.

Cancellation

The returned future can be cancelled normally via drop which means that the value provided here, along with this FutureWriter itself, will be lost. There is also FutureWrite::cancel which can be used to possibly re-acquire value and self if the operation was cancelled. In such a situation the operation can be retried at a future date.
