Yew Agent
This module contains Yew's web worker implementation.
Types
There're a couple kinds of agents:
Oneshot
A kind of agent that for each input, a single output is returned.
Reactor
A kind of agent that can send many inputs and receive many outputs over a single bridge.
Worker
The low-level implementation of agents that provides an actor model and communicates with multiple bridges.
Reachability
When an agent is spawned, each agent is associated with a reachability.
Private
Each time a bridge is created, a new instance of agent is spawned. This allows parallel computing between agents.
Public
Public agents are shared among all children of a provider. Only 1 instance will be spawned for each public agents provider.
Provider
Each Agent requires a provider to provide communications and maintain bridges. All hooks must be called within a provider.
Communications with Agents
Hooks provides means to communicate with agent instances.
Bridge
See: use_worker_bridge,
use_reactor_bridge
A bridge takes a callback to receive outputs from agents and provides a handle to send inputs to agents.
Subscription
See: use_worker_subscription,
use_reactor_subscription
Similar to bridges, a subscription produces a handle to send inputs to agents. However, instead of notifying the receiver with a callback, it collect all outputs into a slice.
Runner
See: use_oneshot_runner
Unlike other agents, oneshot bridges provide a use_oneshot_runner hook to execute oneshot
agents on demand.
