Tokio Easy Loop

Status

Beta

Documentation

http://docs.rs/tk-easyloop/

A main loop wrapper around tokio to provide thread-local loop which:

• Avoids padding a Handle in to every function
• Mostly avoids common error: thread 'foo' panicked at 'no Task is currently running', by providing convenient run function for all your code involving futures

Example

extern crate futures;
extern crate tk_easyloop;

use std::time::Duration;
use tk_easyloop::{run, timeout};

fn main() {
    run(|| {
        // should return some future, let's use a timeout
        timeout(Duration::new(1, 0))
    }).unwrap();
}

Multi-threaded Example

This crate uses thread-local storage for storing loop, but it doesn't mean multi-treading doesn't work. Multiple threads can be used too.

extern crate tk_easyloop;
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use tk_easyloop::{run, timeout};

fn main() {
    let mut threads = Vec::new();
    for thread_no in 0..10 {
        threads.push(thread::spawn(move || {
            run(|| {
                timeout(Duration::new(1, 0))
            })
        }))
    }
    for t in threads {
        t.join().unwrap().unwrap();
    }
}
