NAME

Mojo::Reactor::UV - UV backend for Mojo::Reactor

SYNOPSIS

  use Mojo::Reactor::UV;

  # Watch if handle becomes readable or writable
  my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::UV->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::UV;
  use Mojo::IOLoop;

  # Or in a Mojolicious application
  $ MOJO_REACTOR=Mojo::Reactor::UV hypnotoad script/myapp

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Reactor::UV is an event reactor for Mojo::IOLoop that uses libuv. The usage is exactly the same as other Mojo::Reactor implementations such as Mojo::Reactor::Poll. Mojo::Reactor::UV 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::UV.

EVENTS

Mojo::Reactor::UV inherits all events from Mojo::Reactor::Poll.

METHODS

Mojo::Reactor::UV inherits all methods from Mojo::Reactor::Poll and implements the following new ones.

new

  my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::UV->new;

Construct a new Mojo::Reactor::UV 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. Note that this method can recurse back into the reactor, so you need to be careful.

  # 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.

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 UV, the event loop must be controlled by Mojo::IOLoop or Mojo::Reactor::UV, such as with the methods "start" in Mojo::IOLoop, "stop" in Mojo::IOLoop, and "one_tick". Starting or stopping the event loop through UV will not provide required functionality to Mojo::IOLoop applications.

Care should be taken that file descriptors are not closed while being watched by the reactor. They can be safely closed after calling "watch" with readable and writable set to 0, or after removing the handle with "remove" or "reset".

On windows, libuv can only watch sockets, not regular filehandles.
