Manage the lifecycle of an actix actor with its address.
If you want to stop/terminate an actor, you call ActorContext::stop or ActorContext::terminate within its execution context.
However, sometimes you have access to its address only. This crate adds a bunch of methods to the address so that you may stop or terminate the actor outside its running context.
Add the following line to your Cargo.toml.
toml
actix-signal = { version = "0.1", features = ["derive"] }
```rust use actix::{Actor, Context}; use actix_signal::SignalHandler;
struct MyActor;
impl Actor for MyActor {
type Context = Context
let actor = MyActor; let addr = actor.start();
addr.stop(); // Stop the actor addr.terminate(); // Terminate the actor ```
derive - Provide #[derive(SignalHandler)] proc-macro.
