ExActor.Starters

A mixin that provides start/2 and start_link/2 interface functions that can be used to start new instances of the gen_server.

Examples:

Actor.start   # same as Actor.start(nil)
Actor.start(init_arg)
Actor.start(init_arg, gen_server_options)

Actor.start_link  # same as Actor.start_link(nil)
Actor.start_link(init_arg)
Actor.start_link(init_arg, gen_server_options)

In gen_server_options, you can include name: registered_name to set the registered name of the server in runtime. Following patterns are allowed:

• :some_alias - registers locally
• {:local, :some_alias} - same as above
• {:global, :some_alias} - registers globally
• {:via, Module, :alias} - uses Module for registration

All starter functions are overridable, and you can redefine them in your module. If you don't want these functions, you can exclude them, by providing starters: false option. For example:

use ExActor.GenServer, starters: false
