Struct tokio::sync::mpsc::WeakUnboundedSender

pub struct WeakUnboundedSender<T> { /* private fields */ }

An unbounded sender that does not prevent the channel from being closed.

If all UnboundedSender instances of a channel were dropped and only WeakUnboundedSender instances remain, the channel is closed.

In order to send messages, the WeakUnboundedSender needs to be upgraded using WeakUnboundedSender::upgrade, which returns Option<UnboundedSender>. It returns None if all UnboundedSenders have been dropped, and otherwise it returns an UnboundedSender.

#Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, _rx) = unbounded_channel::<i32>();
    let tx_weak = tx.downgrade();
   
    // Upgrading will succeed because `tx` still exists.
    assert!(tx_weak.upgrade().is_some());
   
    // If we drop `tx`, then it will fail.
    drop(tx);
    assert!(tx_weak.clone().upgrade().is_none());
}

Implementations

impl<T> WeakUnboundedSender<T>

pub fn upgrade(&self) -> Option<UnboundedSender<T>>

Tries to convert a WeakUnboundedSender into an UnboundedSender. This will return Some if there are other Sender instances alive and the channel wasn’t previously dropped, otherwise None is returned.
