Crate mesh_worker

Infrastructure for workers, which are agents that mostly communicate via mesh message passing. These provide a way for splitting up your program into separable components, each of which can optionally run in a separate process.

The primary entry points are the worker_host() function, used to launch workers, and the Worker trait, used to define workers. The register_workers macro and the RegisteredWorkers factory are helpful for defining the possible workers in a binary.

Macros

• register_workers
  Registers workers for use with RegisteredWorkers.
• runnable_workers
  Generates a type that defines the set of workers that can be run by a worker host. Generate a type to that can be used to match a requested worker name and run it.

Structs

• RegisteredWorkers
  A worker factory that can build any worker built with register_workers.
• WorkerBuilder
  A builder for a worker.
• WorkerHandle
  Represents a running Worker instance providing the ability to restart, stop or wait for exit. To launch a worker and get a handle, use WorkerHost::launch_worker
• WorkerHost
  A handle used to launch workers on a host.
• WorkerHostRunner
  A runner returned by worker_host(). Used to handle worker launch requests.
• WorkerId
  A unique identifier for a worker, used to specify which worker to launch.

Enums

• WorkerEvent
  A lifetime event for a worker.
• WorkerRpc
  Common requests for workers.

Traits

• Worker
  Trait implemented by workers.
• WorkerFactory
  Trait implemented by a type that can dispatch requests to a worker.

Functions

• launch_local_worker
  Launches a worker locally.
• worker_host
  Returns a new WorkerHost, WorkerHostRunner pair.
