Functions
Specs
chance_reply(Alice.Conn.t, float, String.t, String.t) :: Alice.Conn.t
Reply with random chance.
Examples
> chance_reply(conn, 0.5, "sent half the time")
> chance_reply(conn, 0.25, "sent 25% of the time", "sent 75% of the time")
Specs
delayed_reply(String.t, integer, Alice.Conn.t) :: Task.t
delayed_reply(Alice.Conn.t, String.t, integer) :: Task.t
Delay a reply. Alice will show to be typing while the message is delayed.
The conn can be passed in first or last.
Returns the task, not a conn. If you need to get the conn, you can
use Task.await(task), but this will block the handle process until the delay
finishes. If you don’t need the updated conn, simply return the conn that was
passed to delayed_reply.
Examples
def hello(conn) do
"hello" |> delayed_reply(1000, conn)
conn
end
def hello(conn) do
task = delayed_reply(conn, "hello", 1000)
# other work...
Task.await(task)
end
