ReceiveBuilder

class ReceiveBuilder extends AnyRef

Used for building a partial function for Actor.receive().

There is both a match on type only, and a match on type and predicate.

Inside an actor you can use it like this with Java 8 to define your receive method.

Example:

@Override
public Actor() {
  receive(ReceiveBuilder.
    match(Double.class, d -> {
      getSender().tell(d.isNaN() ? 0 : d, self());
    }).
    match(Integer.class, i -> {
      getSender().tell(i * 10, self());
    }).
    match(String.class, s -> s.startsWith("foo"), s -> {
      getSender().tell(s.toUpperCase(), self());
    }).build()
  );
}

  1. def build(): Receive

    Build a scala.PartialFunction from this builder.

    Build a scala.PartialFunction from this builder. After this call the builder will be reset.

    returns

    a PartialFunction for this builder.

  2. def match[P](type: Class[P], externalPredicate: BooleanSupplier, apply: UnitApply[P]): ReceiveBuilder

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    type

    a type to match the argument against

    externalPredicate

    a external predicate that will be evaluated if the type matches

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument if the type matches and the predicate returns true

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  3. def match[P](type: Class[P], predicate: TypedPredicate[P], apply: UnitApply[P]): ReceiveBuilder

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    type

    a type to match the argument against

    predicate

    a predicate that will be evaluated on the argument if the type matches

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument if the type matches and the predicate returns true

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  4. def match[P](type: Class[P], apply: UnitApply[P]): ReceiveBuilder

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    type

    a type to match the argument against

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument if the type matches

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  5. def matchAny(apply: UnitApply[AnyRef]): ReceiveBuilder

    Add a new case statement to this builder, that matches any argument.

    Add a new case statement to this builder, that matches any argument.

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  6. def matchEquals[P](object: P, predicate: TypedPredicate[P], apply: UnitApply[P]): ReceiveBuilder

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    Add a new case statement to this builder.

    object

    the object to compare equals with

    predicate

    a predicate that will be evaluated on the argument if the object compares equal

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument if the object compares equal

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  7. def matchEquals[P](object: P, apply: UnitApply[P]): ReceiveBuilder

    object

    the object to compare equals with

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument if the object compares equal

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  8. def matchUnchecked[P](type: Class[_], externalPredicate: BooleanSupplier, apply: UnitApply[P]): ReceiveBuilder

    Add a new case statement to this builder without compile time type check.

    Add a new case statement to this builder without compile time type check. Should normally not be used, but when matching on class with generic type argument it can be useful, e.g. List.class and (List<String> list) -> {}.

    type

    a type to match the argument against

    externalPredicate

    a external predicate that will be evaluated if the type matches

    apply

    type

    a type to match the argument against

    predicate

    a predicate that will be evaluated on the argument if the type matches

    apply

    an action to apply to the argument if the type matches and the predicate returns true

    returns

    a builder with the case statement added

  10. def matchUnchecked(type: Class[_], apply: UnitApply[_]): ReceiveBuilder
