Struct async_channel::Receiver

pub struct Receiver<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

The receiving side of a channel.

Receivers can be cloned and shared among threads. When all receivers associated with a channel are dropped, the channel becomes closed.

The channel can also be closed manually by calling Receiver::close().

Receivers implement the Stream trait.

Implementations

impl<T> Receiver<T>

pub fn try_recv(&self) -> Result<T, TryRecvError>

Attempts to receive a message from the channel.

If the channel is empty or closed, this method returns an error.

Examples

use async_channel::{unbounded, TryRecvError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();
assert_eq!(s.send(1).await, Ok(()));

assert_eq!(r.try_recv(), Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Empty));

drop(s);
assert_eq!(r.try_recv(), Err(TryRecvError::Closed));

pub fn recv(&self) -> Recv<'_, T>

Receives a message from the channel.

If the channel is empty, this method waits until there is a message.

If the channel is closed, this method receives a message or returns an error if there are no more messages.

Examples

use async_channel::{unbounded, RecvError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();

assert_eq!(s.send(1).await, Ok(()));
drop(s);

assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Err(RecvError));

pub fn close(&self) -> bool

Closes the channel.

Returns true if this call has closed the channel and it was not closed already.

The remaining messages can still be received.

Examples

use async_channel::{unbounded, RecvError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();
assert_eq!(s.send(1).await, Ok(()));

assert!(r.close());
assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Ok(1));
assert_eq!(r.recv().await, Err(RecvError));

pub fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is closed.

Examples

use async_channel::{unbounded, RecvError};

let (s, r) = unbounded::<()>();
assert!(!r.is_closed());

drop(s);
assert!(r.is_closed());

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is empty.

Examples

use async_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();

assert!(s.is_empty());
s.send(1).await;
assert!(!s.is_empty());

pub fn is_full(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is full.

Unbounded channels are never full.

Examples

use async_channel::bounded;

let (s, r) = bounded(1);

assert!(!r.is_full());
s.send(1).await;
assert!(r.is_full());

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of messages in the channel.

Examples

use async_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();
assert_eq!(r.len(), 0);

s.send(1).await;
s.send(2).await;
assert_eq!(r.len(), 2);

pub fn capacity(&self) -> Option<usize>

Returns the channel capacity if it’s bounded.

Examples

use async_channel::{bounded, unbounded};

let (s, r) = bounded::<i32>(5);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), Some(5));

let (s, r) = unbounded::<i32>();
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), None);

pub fn receiver_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of receivers for the channel.

Examples

use async_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded::<()>();
assert_eq!(r.receiver_count(), 1);

let r2 = r.clone();
assert_eq!(r.receiver_count(), 2);

pub fn sender_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of senders for the channel.

Examples

use async_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded::<()>();
assert_eq!(r.sender_count(), 1);

let s2 = s.clone();
assert_eq!(r.sender_count(), 2);

Trait Implementations

impl<T> Clone for Receiver<T>

fn clone(&self) -> Receiver<T>

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<T> Debug for Receiver<T>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T> Drop for Receiver<T>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl<T> FusedStream for Receiver<T>

fn poll_next(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context<'_>
) -> Poll<Option<Self::Item>>
