NOTE: This is a client interface of Actoverse protocol and this repository does not include libraries for debugging targets or demo applications. Check a target API implementation for Scala and its examples.
- Live inspecting states inside actors
- Visualizing the causal flow of messages between actors
- Restore any point of the past state of actors ( Reverse Debugging ) while keeping the causal relationship
- Making breakpoints by the attributes or contents of messages such as:
- sender / receiver actor's name
- partial / perfect pattern matching of message data
- node.js environment (latest)
- npm
npm install
npm start
Using Actoverse-Scala for a target.
- Install scala and sbt. For example in macOS,
brew install scala
brew install sbt
- Clone the repository of the demo source. →
git clone https://github.com/45deg/Actoverse-Scala-Demos - Execute
sbt run. - Select a example script to run by entering the index of it.
- Start the Actoverse debugger and input the address
localhost:2000into the form and push theConnectbutton. - Then a time-space diagram will show up.
The API through which communicates with a client program is handled with the JSON format over the WebSocket connection.
