Kabuki

Actor library built on top of the Tokio platform.

Overview

Kabuki provides a simple way to structure concurrent applications built for the Tokio / Futures platform. It is based on the actor model. An actor is a small unit of computation that is used to manage state and resources. It receives messages from other actors and performs some kind of action based on that input. This way, instead of having state and resources accessed concurrently, only a single thread access it and concurrent access is handled through message passing.

Motivation

Tokio and Futures provide a lightweight task primitive. However, it leaves the details of managing concurrency up to the developer.

Usage

First, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
kabuki = { git = "https://github.com/carllerche/kabuki" }

Next, add this to your crate:

extern crate kabuki;

And then, use kabuki!
