// plain
An async Rust HashMap is a concurrent data structure that allows multiple threads to access and modify the same data without blocking each other. It is a type of concurrent hash table that is optimized for concurrent access.
use async_std::sync::{Arc, RwLock};
let map = Arc::new(RwLock::new(HashMap::new()));
// Insert a key-value pair
map.write().await.insert("key", "value");
// Get a value
let value = map.read().await.get("key");
Some("value")
-
use async_std::sync::{Arc, RwLock};
: This imports the Arc and RwLock modules from the async_std library, which are used to create a thread-safe reference-counted pointer and a read-write lock respectively. -
let map = Arc::new(RwLock::new(HashMap::new()));
: This creates a new thread-safe reference-counted pointer to a new empty HashMap. -
map.write().await.insert("key", "value");
: This acquires a write lock on the HashMap and inserts a key-value pair. -
let value = map.read().await.get("key");
: This acquires a read lock on the HashMap and retrieves the value associated with the given key.
