pub struct UnboundedReceiver<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Receive values from the associated UnboundedSender.

Instances are created by the unbounded_channel function.

This receiver can be turned into a Stream using UnboundedReceiverStream.

Implementations§

source§

impl<T> UnboundedReceiver<T>

source

pub async fn recv(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Receives the next value for this receiver.

This method returns None if the channel has been closed and there are no remaining messages in the channel’s buffer. This indicates that no further values can ever be received from this Receiver. The channel is closed when all senders have been dropped, or when close is called.

If there are no messages in the channel’s buffer, but the channel has not yet been closed, this method will sleep until a message is sent or the channel is closed.

Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe. If recv is used as the event in a tokio::select! statement and some other branch completes first, it is guaranteed that no messages were received on this channel.

Examples
use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        tx.send("hello").unwrap();
    });

    assert_eq!(Some("hello"), rx.recv().await);
    assert_eq!(None, rx.recv().await);
}

Values are buffered:

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();

    tx.send("hello").unwrap();
    tx.send("world").unwrap();

    assert_eq!(Some("hello"), rx.recv().await);
    assert_eq!(Some("world"), rx.recv().await);
}
source

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

Tries to receive the next value for this receiver.

This method returns the Empty error if the channel is currently empty, but there are still outstanding senders or permits.

This method returns the Disconnected error if the channel is currently empty, and there are no outstanding senders or permits.

Unlike the poll_recv method, this method will never return an Empty error spuriously.

Examples
use tokio::sync::mpsc;
use tokio::sync::mpsc::error::TryRecvError;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();

    tx.send("hello").unwrap();

    assert_eq!(Ok("hello"), rx.try_recv());
    assert_eq!(Err(TryRecvError::Empty), rx.try_recv());

    tx.send("hello").unwrap();
    // Drop the last sender, closing the channel.
    drop(tx);

    assert_eq!(Ok("hello"), rx.try_recv());
    assert_eq!(Err(TryRecvError::Disconnected), rx.try_recv());
}
source

pub fn blocking_recv(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Blocking receive to call outside of asynchronous contexts.

Panics

This function panics if called within an asynchronous execution context.

Examples
use std::thread;
use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel::<u8>();

    let sync_code = thread::spawn(move || {
        assert_eq!(Some(10), rx.blocking_recv());
    });

    let _ = tx.send(10);
    sync_code.join().unwrap();
}
source

pub fn close(&mut self)

Closes the receiving half of a channel, without dropping it.

This prevents any further messages from being sent on the channel while still enabling the receiver to drain messages that are buffered.

To guarantee that no messages are dropped, after calling close(), recv() must be called until None is returned.

source

pub fn poll_recv(&mut self, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Option<T>>

Polls to receive the next message on this channel.

This method returns:

  • Poll::Pending if no messages are available but the channel is not closed, or if a spurious failure happens.
  • Poll::Ready(Some(message)) if a message is available.
  • Poll::Ready(None) if the channel has been closed and all messages sent before it was closed have been received.

When the method returns Poll::Pending, the Waker in the provided Context is scheduled to receive a wakeup when a message is sent on any receiver, or when the channel is closed. Note that on multiple calls to poll_recv, only the Waker from the Context passed to the most recent call is scheduled to receive a wakeup.

If this method returns Poll::Pending due to a spurious failure, then the Waker will be notified when the situation causing the spurious failure has been resolved. Note that receiving such a wakeup does not guarantee that the next call will succeed — it could fail with another spurious failure.
