Enum Either

pub enum Either<A, B> {
    Left(A),
    Right(B),
}

Combines two different futures, streams, or sinks having the same associated types into a single type.

This is useful when conditionally choosing between two distinct future types:

use futures::future::Either;

let cond = true;

let fut = if cond {
    Either::Left(async move { 12 })
} else {
    Either::Right(async move { 44 })
};

assert_eq!(fut.await, 12);

Variants

Left(A)

First branch of the type

Right(B)

Second branch of the type

Implementations

The type of value produced on completion.

fn poll( self: Pin<&mut Either<A, B>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, ) -> Poll<<Either<A, B> as Future>::Output>

Attempts to resolve the future to a final value, registering the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available.

where A: Sink<Item>, B: Sink<Item, Error = <A as Sink<Item>>::Error>,

type Error = <A as Sink<Item>>::Error

fn size_hint(&self) -> (usize, Option<usize>)

Returns the bounds on the remaining length of the stream.

Layout

Note: Unable to compute type layout, possibly due to this type having generic parameters. Layout can only be computed for concrete, fully-instantiated types.
