//! A single-producer, multi-consumer channel that only retains the *last* sent //! value. //! //! This channel is useful for watching for changes to a value from multiple //! points in the code base, for example, changes to configuration values. //! //! # Usage //! //! [`channel`] returns a [`Sender`] / [`Receiver`] pair. These are the producer //! and sender halves of the channel. The channel is created with an initial //! value. The **latest** value stored in the channel is accessed with //! [`Receiver::borrow()`]. Awaiting [`Receiver::changed()`] waits for a new //! value to sent by the [`Sender`] half. //! //! # Examples //! //! ``` //! use tokio::sync::watch; //! //! # async fn dox() -> Result<(), Box> { //! let (tx, mut rx) = watch::channel("hello"); //! //! tokio::spawn(async move { //! while rx.changed().await.is_ok() { //! println!("received = {:?}", *rx.borrow()); //! } //! }); //! //! tx.send("world")?; //! # Ok(()) //! # } //! ``` //! //! # Closing //! //! [`Sender::is_closed`] and [`Sender::closed`] allow the producer to detect //! when all [`Receiver`] handles have been dropped. This indicates that there //! is no further interest in the values being produced and work can be stopped. //! //! # Thread safety //! //! Both [`Sender`] and [`Receiver`] are thread safe. They can be moved to other //! threads and can be used in a concurrent environment. Clones of [`Receiver`] //! handles may be moved to separate threads and also used concurrently. //! //!
