/**
 * == Commonly Used Patterns With Akka ==
 *
 * This package is used as a collection point for usage patterns which involve
 * actors, futures, etc. but are loosely enough coupled to (multiple of) them
 * to present them separately from the core implementation. Currently supported
 * are:
 *
 * 
    *
  • ask: create a temporary one-off actor for receiving a reply to a * message and complete a [[scala.concurrent.Future]] with it; returns said * Future.
  • *
  • pipeTo: feed eventually computed value of a future to an [[akka.actor.ActorRef]] as * a message.
  • *
  • pipeToSelection: feed eventually computed value of a future to an [[akka.actor.ActorSelection]] as * a message.
  • *
* * In Scala the recommended usage is to import the pattern from the package * object: * {{{ * import akka.pattern.ask * * ask(actor, message) // use it directly * actor ask message // use it by implicit conversion * }}} * * For Java the patterns are available as static methods of the [[akka.pattern.Patterns]] * class: * {{{ * import static akka.pattern.Patterns.ask; * * ask(actor, message); * }}} */ package object pattern extends PipeToSupport with AskSupport with GracefulStopSupport/** @note IMPLEMENT WITH SCALA.JS with GracefulStopSupport with FutureTimeoutSupport */ { }
