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.

    import io.github.agcom.knio2.*
    import java.nio.ByteBuffer
    import java.nio.channels.AsynchronousSocketChannel
    
    suspend fun main() {
        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.
