pubserve

Publish and observe.

Simple, generic observer pattern implementation for Rust.

Usage

pubserve is really simple to use. Start by creating a Publisher for your data type:

usepubserve::Publisher;letpublisher=Publisher::<i32>::new();

Then, create a subscriber that will listen to the publisher:

usepubserve::Subscriber;struct MySubscriber;implSubscriber<i32>forMySubscriber{fn update(&self,message: &i32){// Do whatever you want with the data!
println!("Received data: {}",message);}}

Finally, subscribe the observer to the publisher:

usepubserve::ReferenceCounted;letobserver=MySubscriber;letreference=ReferenceCounted::new(&observer);publisher.subscribe(reference);

Now, whenever you publish data, all subscribed observers will be notified:

publisher.publish(42);// STDOUT: "Received data: 42"

Unsubscribing is just as easy:

publisher.unsubscribe(reference);publisher.publish(42);// Nothing will be printed

It is of course possible to have multiple implementations of Subscriber be subscribed to the same Publisher. All of them will be notified immediately when data is published.
