Struct BroadcastSender

pub struct BroadcastSender<T>(/* private fields */)
where
    T: Clone;

Sends a message response from a service back to the waiting BroadcastRequest.

The sender is part of an BroadcastResponse and should be moved into the service interface type. If this sender is dropped without calling send, the request fails with SendError.

As opposed to the regular Sender for asynchronous messages, this sender can be converted into a channel that efficiently shares a common response for multiple requests to the same data value. This is useful if resolving or computing the value takes more time.

Example

use relay_system::BroadcastResponse;

// This is usually done as part of `Addr::send`
let (sender1, rx1) = BroadcastResponse::<&str>::channel();
let (sender2, rx2) = BroadcastResponse::<&str>::channel();

// On the first time, convert the sender into a channel
let mut channel = sender1.into_channel();

// The second time, attach the sender to the existing channel
channel.attach(sender2);

// Send a value into the channel to resolve all requests simultaneously
channel.send("test");
assert_eq!(rx1.await, Ok("test"));
assert_eq!(rx2.await, Ok("test"));

Implementations

impl<T: Clone> BroadcastSender<T>

pub fn send(self, value: T)

Immediately resolve a ready value.

This bypasses shared channels and directly sends the a value to the waiting request. In terms of performance and behavior, using send is equivalent to calling Sender::send for a regular AsyncResponse.

Example

use relay_system::BroadcastResponse;

// This is usually done as part of `Addr::send`
let (sender, rx) = BroadcastResponse::<&str>::channel();

// sender is NOT converted into a channel!

sender.send("test");
assert_eq!(rx.await, Ok("test"));

pub fn into_channel(self) -> BroadcastChannel<T>

Creates a channel from this sender that can be shared with other senders.

To add more senders to the created channel at a later point, use attach.

Example

use relay_system::{BroadcastChannel, BroadcastResponse};

// This is usually done as part of `Addr::send`
let (sender, rx) = BroadcastResponse::<&str>::channel();

let channel: BroadcastChannel<&str> = sender.into_channel();
