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.
