KNIO2

Just some Kotlinx coroutines extensions for java.nio.channels.Asynchronous* classes.

Setup

Published to the Maven Central repository.

Gradle snippet,

repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation "io.github.agcom:knio2:0.4.1"
}

Components

• Suspending extension functions for following classes,

  • AsynchronousByteChannel
  • AsynchronousSocketChannel
  • AsynchronousFileChannel
  • AsynchronousServerSocketChannel

  The functions are named after their original name plus await suffix.

  importio.github.agcom.knio2.*importjava.nio.ByteBufferimportjava.nio.channels.AsynchronousSocketChannelsuspendfunmain() {
  val socket:AsynchronousSocketChannel=TODO().apply {
  connectAwait(TODO()) // connectAwait
  }
  ByteBuffer.allocate(TODO()).let {
  socket.readAwait(it) // readAwait
  }
  socket.writeAwait(Charsets.US_ASCII.encode("Hello world")) // writeAwait
  }

I add what I need. Make sure you do it too 😃.

Status

If you only want Kotlinx coroutines IO, prefer its native libraries instead of Java ports. You can find them on Awesome Kotlin.

This is a temporary project and may deprecate in favor of better asynchronous IO solutions with Kotlinx coroutines. For example, the Kotlinx IO, which is kinda in development now.
