A crate which offers non-blocking publish/subscribe functionality using Tokio channels.
Publishing messages and subscribing to them is done using an Messaging
instance,
which acts as a message broker.
In order to create a message broker, start by defining the structure of messages and their data (payload).
The types should implement Message
and MessageData
respectively.
```rust enum MyMessage { Greeting, Request }
impl Message for MyMessage {}
struct MyPayload(&'static str);
impl MessageData for MyPayload {} ```
Next, create the message broker instance. Usually, you'll have a single, long-living instance.
```rust
lazy_static! {
static ref INSTANCE: Messaging
pub fn messaging() -> &'static Messaging
Publish messages using the dispatch()
function and subscribe to them using the on()
function.
```rust
// Subscribe to messages
tokio::spawn(messaging().on(MyMessage::Request, |data: MyPayload| {
assert_eq!(data.0, "Here's a request!");
}));
// Publish a message messaging().dispatch(MyMessage::Request, MyPayload("Here's a request!")); ```
