This crate exports four things:
- A compatibility/abstraction layer for writing async-executor agnostic code. We support two async executors: async-std and tokio. Each may be toggled with a configuration flag.
- A compatibility/abstraction layer for writing async channel agnostic code. We support three async channel implementations: async-std, tokio and flume. Each may be toggled with a configuration flag.
- A library exporting a bunch of useful async primitives.
- A tracing configuration layer optionally supporting console and opentelemetry integration.
By default the async-std executor and channels are used.
To use tokio:
RUSTFLAGS='--cfg async_executor_impl="tokio" --cfg async_channel_impl="tokio"' cargo buildasync_executor_impl may be either tokio or async-std. async_channel_impl
may be either tokio, async-std, or flume.
Note that using tokio channels requires tokio to be the runtime.
