NAME Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync - IO::Async backend for Mojo::Reactor SYNOPSIS use Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync; # Watch if handle becomes readable or writable my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync->new; $reactor->io($first => sub { my ($reactor, $writable) = @_; say $writable ? 'First handle is writable' : 'First handle is readable'; }); # Change to watching only if handle becomes writable $reactor->watch($first, 0, 1); # Turn file descriptor into handle and watch if it becomes readable my $second = IO::Handle->new_from_fd($fd, 'r'); $reactor->io($second => sub { my ($reactor, $writable) = @_; say $writable ? 'Second handle is writable' : 'Second handle is readable'; })->watch($second, 1, 0); # Add a timer $reactor->timer(15 => sub { my $reactor = shift; $reactor->remove($first); $reactor->remove($second); say 'Timeout!'; }); # Start reactor if necessary $reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running; # Or in an application using Mojo::IOLoop use Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync; use Mojo::IOLoop; # Or in a Mojolicious application $ MOJO_REACTOR=Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync hypnotoad script/myapp DESCRIPTION Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync is an event reactor for Mojo::IOLoop that uses IO::Async. The usage is exactly the same as other Mojo::Reactor implementations such as Mojo::Reactor::Poll. Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync will be used as the default backend for Mojo::IOLoop if it is loaded before Mojo::IOLoop or any module using the loop. However, when invoking a Mojolicious application through morbo or hypnotoad, the reactor must be set as the default by setting the MOJO_REACTOR environment variable to Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync. EVENTS Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync inherits all events from Mojo::Reactor::Poll. METHODS Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync inherits all methods from Mojo::Reactor::Poll and implements the following new ones. new my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync->new; Construct a new Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync object. again $reactor->again($id); Restart timer. Note that this method requires an active timer. io $reactor = $reactor->io($handle => sub {...}); Watch handle for I/O events, invoking the callback whenever handle becomes readable or writable. # Callback will be invoked twice if handle becomes readable and writable $reactor->io($handle => sub { my ($reactor, $writable) = @_; say $writable ? 'Handle is writable' : 'Handle is readable'; }); one_tick $reactor->one_tick; Run reactor until an event occurs or no events are being watched anymore. See "CAVEATS". # Don't block longer than 0.5 seconds my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {}); $reactor->one_tick; $reactor->remove($id); recurring my $id = $reactor->recurring(0.25 => sub {...}); Create a new recurring timer, invoking the callback repeatedly after a given amount of time in seconds. remove my $bool = $reactor->remove($handle); my $bool = $reactor->remove($id); Remove handle or timer. reset $reactor->reset; Remove all handles and timers. stop $reactor->stop; Stop watching for I/O and timer events. timer my $id = $reactor->timer(0.5 => sub {...}); Create a new timer, invoking the callback after a given amount of time in seconds. watch $reactor = $reactor->watch($handle, $readable, $writable); Change I/O events to watch handle for with true and false values. Note that this method requires an active I/O watcher. # Watch only for readable events $reactor->watch($handle, 1, 0); # Watch only for writable events $reactor->watch($handle, 0, 1); # Watch for readable and writable events $reactor->watch($handle, 1, 1); # Pause watching for events $reactor->watch($handle, 0, 0); CAVEATS When using Mojo::IOLoop with IO::Async, the event loop must be controlled by Mojo::IOLoop or Mojo::Reactor::IOAsync, such as with the methods "start" in Mojo::Reactor::Poll, "stop", and "one_tick". Starting or stopping the event loop through IO::Async will not provide required functionality to Mojo::IOLoop applications. Externally-added IO::Async notifiers will keep the Mojo::IOLoop loop running if they are added to the event loop as a notifier, see "NOTIFIER MANAGEMENT" in IO::Async::Loop.
