#![feature(trait_alias, try_trait, async_closure)] //! Crate to handle high level networking of messages with different //! requirements and priorities over a number of protocols //! //! To start with the `veloren_network` crate you should focus on the 3 //! elementar structs [`Network`], [`Participant`] and [`Stream`]. //! //! Say you have an application that wants to communicate with other application //! over a Network or on the same computer. Now each application instances the //! struct [`Network`] once with a new [`Pid`]. The Pid is necessary to identify //! other [`Networks`] over the network protocols (e.g. TCP, UDP) //! //! To connect to another application, you must know it's [`Address`]. One side //! will call [`connect`], the other [`connected`]. If successfull both //! applications will now get a [`Arc`]. //! //! This [`Participant`] represents the connection between those 2 applications. //! over the respective [`Address`] and with it the choosen network protocol. //! However messages can't be send directly via [`Participants`], instead you //! must open a [`Stream`] on it. Like above, one side has to call [`open`], the //! other [`opened`]. [`Streams`] can have a different priority and //! [`Promises`]. //! //! You can now use the [`Stream`] to [`send`] and [`recv`] in both directions. //! You can send all kind of messages that implement [`serde`]. //! As the receiving side needs to know the format, it sometimes is useful to //! always send a specific Enum and then handling it with a big `match` //! statement This create makes heavily use of `async`, except for [`send`] //! which returns always directly. //! //! For best practices see the `examples` folder of this crate containing useful //! code snippets, a simple client/server below. Of course due to the async //! nature, no strict client server separation is necessary //! //! # Examples //! ```rust //! // Client //! use futures::executor::block_on; //! use veloren_network::{Network, Pid, PROMISES_CONSISTENCY, PROMISES_ORDERED}; //! //! let network = Network::new(Pid::new(), ThreadPoolBuilder::new().build(), None); //! block_on(async { //! let server = network //! .connect(Address::Tcp("127.0.0.1:12345".parse().unwrap())) //! .await?; //! let stream = server //! .open(10, PROMISES_ORDERED | PROMISES_CONSISTENCY) //! .await?; //! stream.send("Hello World")?; //! }); //! ``` //! //! ```rust //! // Server //! use futures::executor::block_on; //! use veloren_network::{Network, Pid}; //! //! let network = Network::new(Pid::new(), ThreadPoolBuilder::new().build(), None); //! block_on(async { //! network //! .listen(Address::Tcp("127.0.0.1:12345".parse().unwrap())) //! .await?; //! let client = network.connected().await?; //! let stream = server.opened().await?; //! let msg: String = stream.recv().await?; //! println!("got message: {}", msg); //! }); //! ``` //! //!
