src/steer/mod.rs

//! This module provides functionality to aid managing routing requests between [`Service`]s.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! [`Steer`] can for example be used to create a router, akin to what you might find in web
//! frameworks.
//!
//! Here, `GET /` will be sent to the `root` service, while all other requests go to `not_found`.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use std::task::{Context, Poll};
//! # use tower_service::Service;
//! # use futures_util::future::{ready, Ready, poll_fn};
//! # use tower::steer::Steer;
//! # use tower::service_fn;
//! # use tower::util::BoxService;
//! # use tower::ServiceExt;
//! # use std::convert::Infallible;
//! use http::{Request, Response, StatusCode, Method};
//!
//! # #[tokio::main]
//! # async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! // Service that responds to `GET /`
//! let root = service_fn(|req: Request<String>| async move {
//!     # assert_eq!(req.uri().path(), "/");
//!     let res = Response::new("Hello, World!".to_string());
//!     Ok::<_, Infallible>(res)
//! });
//! // We have to box the service so its type gets erased and we can put it in a `Vec` with other
//! // services
//! let root = BoxService::new(root);
//!
//! // Service that responds with `404 Not Found` to all requests
//! let not_found = service_fn(|req: Request<String>| async move {
//!     let res = Response::builder()
//!         .status(StatusCode::NOT_FOUND)
//!         .body(String::new())
//!         .expect("response is valid");
//!     Ok::<_, Infallible>(res)
//! });
//! // Box that as well
//! let not_found = BoxService::new(not_found);
//!
//! let mut svc = Steer::new(
//!     // All services we route between
//!     vec![root, not_found],
//!     // How we pick which service to send the request to
//!     |req: &Request<String>, _services: &[_]| {
//!         if req.method() == Method::GET && req.uri().path() == "/" {
//!             0 // Index of `root`
//!         } else {
//!             1 // Index of `not_found`
//!         }
//!     },
//! );
//!
//! // This request will get sent to `root`
//! let req = Request::get("/").body(String::new()).unwrap();
//! let res = svc.ready().await?.call(req).await?;
//! assert_eq!(res.into_body(), "Hello, World!");
//!
//! // This request will get sent to `not_found`
//! let req = Request::get("/does/not/exist").body(String::new()).unwrap();
//! let res = svc.ready().await?.call(req).await?;
//! assert_eq!(res.status(), StatusCode::NOT_FOUND);
//! assert_eq!(res.into_body(), "");
//! #
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```

/// An example use case is a sharded service.

/// 2. Waits (in [`Service::poll_ready`]) for *all* services to be ready.
/// 3. Calls the correct [`Service`] with the request, and returns a future corresponding to the
///    call.

/// which [`Service`] the next message will arrive for, and is unwilling to buffer items
/// indefinitely. This will cause head-of-line blocking unless paired with a [`Service`] that does
/// buffer items indefinitely, and thus always returns [`Poll::Ready`]. For example, wrapping each
/// component service with a [`Buffer`] with a high enough limit (the maximum number of concurrent
/// requests) will prevent head-of-line blocking in [`Steer`].
