IO::Async::Protocol::SUsermContributed Perl DoIO::Async::Protocol::Stream(3pm)

NAME
       "IO::Async::Protocol::Stream" - base class for stream-based protocols

SYNOPSIS
       Most likely this class will be subclassed to implement a particular
       network protocol.

          package Net::Async::HelloWorld;

          use strict;
          use warnings;
          use base qw( IO::Async::Protocol::Stream );

          sub on_read
          {
             my $self = shift;
             my ( $buffref, $eof ) = @_;

             return 0 unless $$buffref =~ s/^(.*)\n//;
             my $line = $1;

             if( $line =~ m/^HELLO (.*)/ ) {
                my $name = $1;

                $self->invoke_event( on_hello => $name );
             }

             return 1;
          }

          sub send_hello
          {
             my $self = shift;
             my ( $name ) = @_;

             $self->write( "HELLO $name\n" );
          }

       This small example elides such details as error handling, which a real
       protocol implementation would be likely to contain.

DESCRIPTION
       This subclass of IO::Async::Protocol is intended to stand as a base
       class for implementing stream-based protocols. It provides an interface
       similar to IO::Async::Stream, primarily, a "write" method and an
       "on_read" event handler.

       It contains an instance of an IO::Async::Stream object which it uses
       for actual communication, rather than being a subclass of it, allowing
       a level of independence from the actual stream being used. For example,
       the stream may actually be an IO::Async::SSLStream to allow the
       protocol to be used over SSL.

       As with IO::Async::Stream, it is required that by the time the protocol
       object is added to a Loop, that it either has an "on_read" method, or
       has been configured with an "on_read" callback handler.

EVENTS
       The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE
       references in parameters:

   $ret = on_read \$buffer, $eof
   on_read_eof
   on_write_eof
       The event handlers are invoked identically to IO::Async::Stream.

   on_closed
       The "on_closed" handler is optional, but if provided, will be invoked
       after the stream is closed by either side (either because the "close()"
       method has been invoked on it, or on an incoming EOF).

PARAMETERS
       The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

   on_read => CODE
   on_read_eof => CODE
   on_write_eof => CODE
       CODE references for the events.

   handle => IO
       A shortcut for the common case where the transport only needs to be a
       plain IO::Async::Stream object. If this argument is provided without a
       "transport" object, a new IO::Async::Stream object will be built around
       the given IO handle, and used as the transport.

METHODS
   write
          $protocol->write( $data )

       Writes the given data by calling the "write" method on the contained
       transport stream.

   connect
          $protocol->connect( %args )

       Sets up a connection to a peer, and configures the underlying
       "transport" for the Protocol. Calls IO::Async::Protocol "connect" with
       "socktype" set to "stream".
