Crate request_response 

This crate contains a general request-response protocol. It is used to send requests to a set of recipients and wait for responses.

Modules

data_source

The data source trait. Is what we use to derive the response data for a request This file contains the DataSource trait. This trait allows the [RequestResponseProtocol] to calculate/derive a response for a specific request. In the confirmation layer the implementer would be something like a [FeeMerkleTree] for fee catchup

message

The message type. Is the base type for all messages in the request-response protocol

network

The network traits. Is what we use to send and receive messages over the network as the protocol This file contains the Sender and Receiver traits. These traits are used by the [RequestResponseProtocol] to send and receive messages from a network or other source.

recipient_source

The recipient source trait. Is what we use to get the recipients that a specific message should expect responses from

request

The request trait. Is what we use to define a request and a corresponding response type This file contains the Request and [Response] traits. Any upstream that wants to use the [RequestResponseProtocol] needs to implement these traits for their specific types.

util 🔒

Utility types and functions

Structs

OutgoingRequest

An outgoing request. This is what we use to track a request and its corresponding response in the protocol

OutgoingRequestInner

The inner implementation of an outgoing request

RequestResponse

A protocol that allows for request-response communication. Is cheaply cloneable, so there is no need to wrap it in an Arc

RequestResponseConfig

The underlying configuration for the request-response protocol

RequestResponseInner

The inner implementation for the request-response protocol

Enums

RequestError

The errors that can occur when making a request for data

RequestType

The type of request to make

Traits

Serializable

A trait for serializing and deserializing a type to and from a byte array. Request types and [Response] types will need to implement this trait

Type Aliases

IncomingRequests

A type alias for the list of tasks that are responding to requests

IncomingResponses

A type alias for the list of tasks that are validating incoming responses

OutgoingRequestsMap

A type alias for the outgoing requests map

RequestHash

A type alias for the hash of a request

ResponseValidationFn 🔒

A type alias for the function that returns the above future

ResponseValidationFuture 🔒

A type alias for the future that validates a response

ThreadSafeAny 🔒

A type alias for an Arc<dyn Any + Send + Sync + 'static>
