Module stream 

A stream of values which are asynchronously produced, until the source is closed.

Postage channel receivers implement Stream:

use postage::mpsc::channel;
use postage::sink::Sink;
use postage::stream::Stream;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (mut tx, mut rx) = channel(16);
    tx.send(true).await;
    drop(tx);
    assert_eq!(Some(true), rx.recv().await);
    assert_eq!(None, rx.recv().await);
}

Streams produce Option<T>. When a None value is recieved, the stream is closed and will never produce another item. Loops can be concicely written with while let Some(v) = rx.recv().await {}

use postage::mpsc::channel;
use postage::sink::Sink;
use postage::stream::Stream;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (mut tx, mut rx) = channel(16);
    tx.send(true).await;
    tx.send(true).await;
    drop(tx);

    while let Some(v) = rx.recv().await {
        println!("Value received!: {}", v);
    }
}

Structs

RecvFuture

A future returned by Stream::recv.

Enums

PollRecv

An enum of poll responses that are produced by Stream implementations.

TryRecvError

An error type returned by Stream::try_recv, when the stream has no messages, or is closed.

Traits

Stream

An asynchronous stream, which produces a series of messages until closed.

Functions

once

Returns a stream which produces a single value, and then is closed.

repeat

Returns a stream which infiniately produces a clonable value.
