Overview

This class is abstract.

implement #on_message and #behaviour_definition

New actor is defined by subclassing RestartingContext, Context and defining its abstract methods. AbstractContext can be subclassed directly to implement more specific behaviour see Root implementation.

Example of ac actor definition:

Message = Struct.new :action, :value 

class AnActor < Concurrent::Actor::RestartingContext
  def initialize(init)
    @counter = init
  end

  # override #on_message to define actor's behaviour on message received
  def on_message(message)
    case message.action
    when :add
      @counter = @counter + message.value
    when :subtract
      @counter = @counter - message.value
    when :value
      @counter
    else
      pass
    end
  end

  # set counter to zero when there is an error
  def on_event(event)
    if event == :reset
      @counter = 0 # ignore initial value
    end
  end
end 

an_actor = AnActor.spawn name: 'an_actor', args: 10 
an_actor << Message.new(:add, 1) << Message.new(:subtract, 2) 
an_actor.ask!(Message.new(:value, nil))            # => 9
an_actor << :boo << Message.new(:add, 1) 
an_actor.ask!(Message.new(:value, nil))            # => 1
an_actor << :terminate!
    # => #

See methods of AbstractContext what else can be tweaked, e.g #default_reference_class

Class Method Details

.spawn(name_or_opts, *args, &block) ⇒ undocumented

Behaves as Concurrent::Actor.spawn but :class is auto-inserted based on receiver so it can be omitted.

Examples:

by class and name

AdHoc.spawn(:ping1) { -> message { message } }

by option hash

inc2 = AdHoc.spawn(name:     'increment by 2',
                   args:     [2],
                   executor: Concurrent.configuration.global_task_pool) do |increment_by|
  lambda { |number| number + increment_by }
end
inc2.ask!(2) # => 4

def self.spawn(name_or_opts, *args, &block)
  Actor.spawn to_spawn_options(name_or_opts, *args), &block
end

.spawn!(name_or_opts, *args, &block) ⇒ undocumented

behaves as Concurrent::Actor.spawn! but :class is auto-inserted based on receiver so it can be omitted.

  • (NotImplementedError)

  raise NotImplementedError
end

#dead_letter_routing ⇒ Reference

Defines an actor responsible for dead letters. Any rejected message send with Reference#tell is sent there, a message with future is considered already monitored for failures. Default behaviour is to use #dead_letter_routing of the parent, so if no #dead_letter_routing method is overridden in parent-chain the message ends up in Actor.root.dead_letter_routing agent which will log warning.

Returns:

override to se different default executor, e.g. to change it to global_operation_pool

Returns:

  • (Executor)

#envelope ⇒ Envelope

Returns current envelope, accessible inside #on_message processing.

Returns:

  • (Envelope) —

    current envelope, accessible inside #on_message processing

def envelope

end

#on_envelope(envelope) ⇒ undocumented

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

end

#on_event(event) ⇒ undocumented

override to add custom code invocation on internal events like :terminated, :resumed, anError.

#on_message(message) ⇒ Object

This method is abstract.

override to define Actor's behaviour

Note:

self should not be returned (or sent to other actors), PublicDelegations#reference should be used instead

Returns a result which will be used to set the Future supplied to Reference#ask.

Parameters:

  • message (Object)

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    a result which will be used to set the Future supplied to Reference#ask

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)
