NAME

Mojo::Reactor::POE - POE backend for Mojo::Reactor

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Reactor::POE;

# Watch if handle becomes readable or writable
my $reactor = Mojo::Reactor::POE->new;
$reactor->io($handle => sub {
  my ($reactor, $writable) = @_;
  say $writable ? 'Handle is writable' : 'Handle is readable';
});

# Change to watching only if handle becomes writable
$reactor->watch($handle, 0, 1);

# Add a timer
$reactor->timer(15 => sub {
  my $reactor = shift;
  $reactor->remove($handle);
  say 'Timeout!';
});

# Start reactor if necessary
$reactor->start unless $reactor->is_running;

# Or in an application using Mojo::IOLoop
BEGIN { $ENV{MOJO_REACTOR} = 'Mojo::Reactor::POE' }
use Mojo::IOLoop;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Reactor::POE is an event reactor for Mojo::IOLoop that uses POE. The usage is exactly the same as other Mojo::Reactor backends such as Mojo::Reactor::Poll. To set it as the default backend for Mojo::Reactor, set the MOJO_REACTOR environment variable to Mojo::Reactor::POE. This must be set before Mojo::IOLoop is loaded.

EVENTS

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

METHODS

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

again

$reactor->again($id);

Restart active timer.

io

$reactor = $reactor->io($handle => sub {...});

Watch handle for I/O events, invoking the callback whenever handle becomes readable or writable.

is_running

my $bool = $reactor->is_running;

Check if reactor is running.

new

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

Construct a new Mojo::Reactor::POE object.

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.

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.

start

$reactor->start;

Start watching for I/O and timer events, this will block until "stop" is called or no events are being watched anymore.

stop

$reactor->stop;

Stop watching for I/O and timer events. See "CAVEATS".

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.

CAVEATS

If you set a timer or I/O watcher, and don't call "start" or "one_tick" (or start POE::Kernel separately), POE will output a warning that POE::Kernel->run() was not called. This is consistent with creating your own POE::Session and not starting POE::Kernel. See "run" in POE::Kernel for more information.

To stop the POE::Kernel reactor, all sessions must be stopped and are thus destroyed. Be aware of this if you create your own POE sessions then stop the reactor. I/O and timer events managed by Mojo::Reactor::POE will persist.

BUGS

POE has a complex session system which may lead to bugs when used in this manner. Report any issues on the public bugtracker.
