Struct rocket::response::stream::ByteStream

pub struct ByteStream<S>(pub S);

A potentially infinite stream of bytes: any T: AsRef<[u8]>.

A ByteStream can be constructed from any Stream of items of type T where T: AsRef<[u8]>. This includes Vec<u8>, &[u8], &str, &RawStr, and more. The stream can be constructed directly, via ByteStream(..) or ByteStream::from(), or through generator syntax via ByteStream!.

Responder

ByteStream is a (potentially infinite) responder. The response Content-Type is set to Binary. The body is unsized, and values are sent as soon as they are yielded by the internal iterator.

Example

Use ByteStream! to yield 10 3-byte vectors, one every second, of the form vec![i, i + 1, i + 2] for i from 0 to 10 exclusive:

use rocket::response::stream::ByteStream;
use rocket::futures::stream::{repeat, StreamExt};
use rocket::tokio::time::{self, Duration};

#[get("/bytes")]
fn bytes() -> ByteStream![&'static [u8]] {
    ByteStream(repeat(&[1, 2, 3][..]))
}

#[get("/byte/stream")]
fn stream() -> ByteStream![Vec<u8>] {
    ByteStream! {
        let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_secs(1));
        for i in 0..10u8 {
            yield vec![i, i + 1, i + 2];
            interval.tick().await;
        }
    }
}

The syntax of ByteStream! as an expression is identical to that of stream!.
