Provides a simple interface to push items to a number of subscribers. The channel will schedule all operations on the main reactor thread for thread safe reactor operations.
This provides a convenient way for connections to consume messages from long running code in defer, without threading issues.
channel = EM::Channel.new sid = channel.subscribe{ |msg| p [:got, msg] } channel.push('hello world') channel.unsubscribe(sid)
See examples/ex_channel.rb for a detailed example.
Receive exactly one message from the channel.
# File lib/em/channel.rb, line 43 def pop(*a, &b) EM.schedule { name = subscribe do |*args| unsubscribe(name) EM::Callback(*a, &b).call(*args) end } end
Add items to the channel, which are pushed out to all subscribers.
# File lib/em/channel.rb, line 36 def push(*items) items = items.dup EM.schedule { @subs.values.each { |s| items.each { |i| s.call i } } } end
