futures-time 3.0.1

async time combinators
Documentation
//! # Async time operators.
//!
//! This crate provides ergonomic, async time-based operations. It serves as an
//! experimental playground to experiment with how we could potentially add
//! time-based operations to `async-std`, and subsequently the stdlib.
//!
//! The goal is to make working with time and other events feel natural. A major
//! source of inspiration for this has been RxJS, which uses events (including
//! time) to trigger operations. This crate takes that principle, inverts the
//! model to make it evaluate lazily, and wraps it in an ergnomic Rust
//! interface.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! __Delay a future's execution by 100ms__
//!
//! ```
//! use futures_time::prelude::*;
//! use futures_time::time::Duration;
//!
//! async_io::block_on(async {
//!     let res = async { "meow" }
//!         .delay(Duration::from_millis(100))
//!         .await;
//!     assert_eq!(res, "meow");
//! })
//! ```
//!
//! __Error if a future takes longer than 200ms__
//!
//! ```
//! use futures_time::prelude::*;
//! use futures_time::time::Duration;
//!
//! async_io::block_on(async {
//!     let res = async { "meow" }
//!         .delay(Duration::from_millis(100))
//!         .timeout(Duration::from_millis(200))
//!         .await;
//!     assert_eq!(res.unwrap(), "meow");
//! })
//! ```
//!
//! __Throttle a stream__
//!
//! This lets two items through in total: one `100ms` after the program has
//! started, and one `300ms` after the program has started.
//!
//! ```
//! use futures_lite::prelude::*;
//! use futures_time::prelude::*;
//! use futures_time::time::Duration;
//! use futures_time::stream;
//!
//! async_io::block_on(async {
//!     let mut counter = 0;
//!     stream::interval(Duration::from_millis(100))  // Yield an item every 100ms
//!         .take(4)                                  // Stop after 4 items
//!         .throttle(Duration::from_millis(300))     // Only let an item through every 300ms
//!         .for_each(|_| counter += 1)               // Increment a counter for each item
//!         .await;
//!
//!     assert_eq!(counter, 2);
//! })
//! ```
//!
//! # The `Timer` trait
//!
//! The future returned by [`task::sleep`] implements the [`future::Timer`]
//! trait. This represents a future whose deadline can be moved forward into the
//! future.
//!
//! For example, say we have a deadline of `Duration::from_secs(10)`. By calling
//! `Timer::reset_timer` the timer can be reschedule to trigger at a later time.
//! This functionality is required for methods such as `debounce` and
//! `Stream::timeout`, which will regularly want to reschedule their timers to trigger
//! the future.
//!
//! Currently the only type implementing the `Timer` trait is
//! [`task::Sleep`], which is created from a `Duration.` This is in contrast
//! with [`task::sleep_until`], which takes an `Instant`, and cannot be reset.
//!
//! # Cancellation
//!
//! You can use [`channel::bounded`] to create a [`channel::Sender`] and [`channel::Receiver`] pair.
//! When the "sender" sends a message, all "receivers" will halt execution of the future the next time they are
//! `.await`ed. This will cause the future to stop executing, and all
//! destructors to be run.
//!
//! ```
//! use futures_lite::prelude::*;
//! use futures_time::prelude::*;
//! use futures_time::channel;
//! use futures_time::time::Duration;
//!
//! async_io::block_on(async {
//!     let (send, mut recv) = channel::bounded::<()>(1); // create a new send/receive pair
//!     let mut counter = 0;
//!     let value = async { "meow" }
//!         .delay(Duration::from_millis(100))
//!         .timeout(recv.next()) // time-out when the sender emits a message
//!         .await;
//!
//!     assert_eq!(value.unwrap(), "meow");
//! })
//! ```
//!
//! # Futures
//!
//! - [`Future::delay`](`future::FutureExt::delay`) Delay execution for a specified time.
//! - [`Future::timeout`](`future::FutureExt::timeout`) Cancel the future if the execution takes longer than the specified time.
//! - [`Future::park`](`future::FutureExt::park`) Suspend or resume the execution of a future.
//!
//! # Tasks
//!
//! - [`task::sleep_until`] Sleeps until the specified deadline.
//! - [`task::sleep`] Sleeps for the specified amount of time.
//!
//! # Streams
//!
//! - [`Stream::buffer`](`stream::StreamExt::buffer`) Returns a stream which buffers items and flushes them at each interval.
//! - [`Stream::debounce`](`stream::StreamExt::debounce`) Returns a stream that debounces for the given duration.
//! - [`Stream::delay`](`stream::StreamExt::delay`) Delay execution for a specified time.
//! - [`Stream::park`](`stream::StreamExt::park`) Suspend or resume the execution of a stream.
//! - [`Stream::sample`](`stream::StreamExt::sample`) Yield the last value received, if any, at each interval.
//! - [`Stream::throttle`](`stream::StreamExt::throttle`) Filter out all items after the first for a specified time.
//! - [`Stream::timeout`](`stream::StreamExt::timeout`) Cancel the stream if the execution takes longer than the specified time.
//! - [`stream::interval`](`stream::interval`) Creates a new stream that yields at a set interval.
//!
//! # Re-exports
//!
//! - `channel` is a re-export of the [`async-channel`] crate, exposed for convenience
//!
