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);
      $reactor->again($id, 0.5);

    Restart timer and optionally change the invocation time. 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.
