Types

ConnectionOptions

pub type ConnectionOptions {
  ConnectionOptions(host: String, port: Int, timeout: Int)
}

Constructors

```
ConnectionOptions(host: String, port: Int, timeout: Int)
```
Arguments
- host
  
  The hostname of the server to connect to.
- port
  
  The port of the server to connect to.
- timeout
  
  A timeout in milliseconds for the connection to be established.
  
  Note that if the operating system returns a timeout then this package will also return a timeout, even if this timeout value has not been reached yet.

Socket

</>

pub type Socket

TcpMessage

</>

Messages that can be sent by the socket to the process that controls it.

pub type TcpMessage {
  Packet(Socket, BitArray)
  SocketClosed(Socket)
  TcpError(Socket, Error)
}

Constructors

```
Packet(Socket, BitArray)
```
A packet has been received from the client.
```
SocketClosed(Socket)
```
The socket has been closed by the client.
```
TcpError(Socket, Error)
```
An error has occurred on the socket.

Functions

connect

</>

pub fn connect(
  options: ConnectionOptions,
) -> Result(Socket, Error)

Establish a TCP connection to the server specified in the connection options.

Returns an error if the connection could not be established.

The socket is created in passive mode, meaning the the receive function is to be called to receive packets from the client. The receive_next_packet_as_message function can be used to switch the socket to active mode and receive the next packet as an Erlang message.

new

</>

pub fn new(host: String, port port: Int) -> ConnectionOptions

Create a new set of connection options.

receive

</>

pub fn receive(
  socket: Socket,
  timeout_milliseconds timeout: Int,
) -> Result(BitArray, Error)

Receive a packet from the client.

Errors if the socket is closed, if the timeout is reached, or if there is some other problem receiving the packet.

receive_next_packet_as_message

</>

pub fn receive_next_packet_as_message(socket: Socket) -> Nil

Switch the socket to active mode, meaning that the next packet received on the socket will be sent as an Erlang message to the socket owner’s inbox.

This is useful for when you wish to have an OTP actor handle incoming messages as using the receive function would result in the actor being blocked and unable to handle other messages while waiting for the next packet.

Messages will be send to the process that controls the socket, which is the process that established the socket with the connect function.

selecting_tcp_messages

</>

pub fn selecting_tcp_messages(
  selector: Selector(a),
  mapper: fn(TcpMessage) -> a,
) -> Selector(a)

Configure a selector to receive messages from TCP sockets.

Note this will receive messages from all TCP sockets that the process controls, rather than any specific one. If you wish to only handle messages from one socket then use one process per socket.

send

</>

pub fn send(
  socket: Socket,
  packet: BitArray,
) -> Result(Nil, Error)

Send a packet to the client.

send_builder

</>

pub fn send_builder(
  socket: Socket,
  packet: BytesBuilder,
) -> Result(Nil, Error)

Send a packet to the client, the data in BytesBuilder. Using this function is more efficient turning an BytesBuilder or a StringBuilder into a BitArray to use with the send function.

shutdown

</>

pub fn shutdown(socket: Socket) -> Result(Nil, Error)

Close the socket, ensuring that any data buffered in the socket is flushed to the operating system kernel socket first.

timeout

</>

pub fn timeout(
  options: ConnectionOptions,
  milliseconds timeout: Int,
) -> ConnectionOptions

Specify a timeout for the connection to be established.
