Function channel

pub fn channel<T>() -> (Sender<T>, Receiver<T>)

Creates a new one-shot channel for sending values across asynchronous tasks.

This function is similar to Rust’s channel constructor found in the standard library. Two halves are returned, the first of which is a Sender handle, used to signal the end of a computation and provide its value. The second half is a Receiver which implements the Future trait, resolving to the value that was given to the Sender handle.

Each half can be separately owned and sent across tasks.

Examples

extern crate futures;
extern crate futures_channel;

use std::thread;

use futures_channel::oneshot;
use futures::*;

fn main() {
    let (p, c) = oneshot::channel::<i32>();

    thread::spawn(|| {
        let future = c.map(|i| {
            println!("got: {}", i);
        });
        // ...
    });

    p.send(3).unwrap();
}
