Rtv

This crate makes it easy to "just run" a future. It offers two simple functions run and timeout that will drive a future to completion on a single thread.

You can easily view all of the source code as it is all contained within lib.rs

Example

Executing a future without a timeout is as easy as calling run with the future.

rust let future = std::future::ready(69); let result = rtv::run(future); assert!(result == 69);

The timeout function returns an Option which will be Some(T) when the future sucesfully completed and None if the time ran out.

rust let future = std::future::pending(); let result: Option<()> = rtv::timeout(future, std::time::Duration::from_secs(2)); assert!(result == None)

Note

Earlier versions of this crate were completely different. Rtv used to be a crate for doing recursive-file-traversal but since it was pretty useless I decided to reuse the name for something better.
