NAME

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream - Non-blocking I/O stream

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::IOLoop::Stream;

# Create stream
my $stream = Mojo::IOLoop::Stream->new($handle);
$stream->on(read => sub {
  my ($stream, $chunk) = @_;
  ...
});
$stream->on(close => sub {
  my $stream = shift;
  ...
});
$stream->on(error => sub {
  my ($stream, $err) = @_;
  ...
});

# Start and stop watching for new data
$stream->start;
$stream->stop;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream is a container for I/O streams used by Mojo::IOLoop. Note that this module is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

EVENTS

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream can emit the following events.

close

$stream->on(close => sub {
  my $stream = shift;
  ...
});

Emitted safely if the stream gets closed.

drain

$stream->on(drain => sub {
  my $stream = shift;
  ...
});

Emitted safely once all data has been written.

error

$stream->on(error => sub {
  my ($stream, $err) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted safely if an error happens on the stream.

read

$stream->on(read => sub {
  my ($stream, $chunk) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted safely if new data arrives on the stream.

timeout

$stream->on(timeout => sub {
  my $stream = shift;
  ...
});

Emitted safely if the stream has been inactive for too long and will get closed automatically.

write

$stream->on(write => sub {
  my ($stream, $chunk) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted safely if new data has been written to the stream.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream implements the following attributes.

iowatcher

my $watcher = $stream->iowatcher;
$stream     = $stream->iowatcher(Mojo::IOWatcher->new);

Low level event watcher, defaults to the iowatcher attribute value of the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton.

timeout

my $timeout = $stream->timeout;
$stream     = $stream->timeout(45);

Maximum amount of time in seconds stream can be inactive before getting closed automatically, defaults to 15. Setting the value to 0 will allow this stream to be inactive indefinitely.

METHODS

Mojo::IOLoop::Stream inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.

new

my $stream = Mojo::IOLoop::Stream->new($handle);

Construct a new Mojo::IOLoop::Stream object.

close

$stream->close;

Close stream immediately.

handle

my $handle = $stream->handle;

Get handle for stream.

is_readable

my $success = $stream->is_readable;

Quick check if stream is readable, useful for identifying tainted sockets.

is_writing

my $success = $stream->is_writing;

Check if stream is writing.

start

$stream->start;

Start watching for new data on the stream.

stop

$stream->stop;

Stop watching for new data on the stream.

steal_handle

my $handle = $stream->steal_handle;

Steal handle from stream and prevent it from getting closed automatically.

write

$stream->write('Hello!');
$stream->write('Hello!', sub {...});

Write data to stream, the optional drain callback will be invoked once all data has been written.
