Crate tokio_current_thread

A single-threaded executor which executes tasks on the same thread from which they are spawned.

Note: This crate is deprecated in tokio 0.2.x and has been moved and refactored into various places in the tokio crate. The closest replacement is to make use of tokio::task::LocalSet::block_on which requires the rt-util feature.

The crate provides:

• CurrentThread is the main type of this crate. It executes tasks on the current thread. The easiest way to start a new CurrentThread executor is to call block_on_all with an initial task to seed the executor. All tasks that are being managed by a CurrentThread executor are able to spawn additional tasks by calling spawn.

Application authors will not use this crate directly. Instead, they will use the tokio crate. Library authors should only depend on tokio-current-thread if they are building a custom task executor.

For more details, see executor module documentation in the Tokio crate.
