select_macro

Waits on multiple concurrent branches, returning when the first branch completes, cancelling the remaining branches. The select! macro must be used inside of async functions, closures, and blocks.

The crate was shamelessly stolen from the tokio. More information can be found in the docs.

Motivation

Refer to the issue.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
select-macro = "0.2.0"

Quick start:

use async_std::{channel as async_channel, stream::{self, StreamExt}, task};
use std::time::Duration;
use select_macro::{count, select, select_variant};

#[async_std::main]
async fn main(){
    let mut inter = stream::interval(Duration::from_secs(2));
    let (rx, tx) = async_channel::bounded(1);
    task::spawn(async move{
            task::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
            rx.send(1).await.unwrap();
    });
    select!{
        _ = inter.next() => {
            panic!("unreachable!");
        }
        data = tx.recv() => {
            assert_eq!(data, Ok(1));
        }
    };
}
