}

A typed actor context, providing both a Mailbox and an Instance.

Note: Send and Sync markers are here only temporarily in order to bridge the transition to the context types, away from the [crate::cap] module.

Required Associated Types

type A: Actor

The type of actor associated with this context.

Required Methods

fn instance(&self) -> &Instance<Self::A>

The instance associated with this context.

Provided Methods

fn spawn<C: Actor>(&self, actor: C) -> ActorHandle<C>

where Self: Sized,

Spawn a child actor under this actor context.

fn spawn_with_label<C: Actor>(&self, label: &str, actor: C) -> ActorHandle<C>

where Self: Sized,

Spawn a child actor with a fresh uid carrying a display label.

fn spawn_with_uid<C: Actor>(&self, uid: Uid, actor: C) -> Result<ActorHandle<C>>

where Self: Sized,

Spawn a child actor using an explicit uid.

fn headers(&self) -> &Flattrs

The inbound message headers associated with this context, if any.

Plain Instance send contexts are not handling an inbound message, so they use the default empty header set.
