# 🧵 channel

A C++20 library that provides a rust like `std::sync::mpsc::channel` for inter-thread communication.



# 📦 Installation

> [!NOTE]  

> This library requires a C++20 capable compiler.

> In case you need support for C++17 checkout commits prior to [6977815](https://github.com/Curve/channel/tree/6977815409b4c3c02d74a7aee3fc29f01d632feb)

- FetchContent

    ```cmake

    include(FetchContent)

    FetchContent_Declare(channel GIT_REPOSITORY "https://github.com/Curve/channel")

    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(channel)

    target_link_libraries( cr::channel)

    ```

- Git Submodule

    ```bash

    git submodule add "https://github.com/Curve/channel"

    ```

    ```cmake

    # Somewhere in your CMakeLists.txt

    add_subdirectory("")

    target_link_libraries( cr::channel)

    ```

# 📒 Examples

```cpp

#include 

#include 

#include 

auto [sender, receiver] = cr::channel();

// Spawn off expensive computations

std::thread t1([sender = std::move(sender)]() mutable

{

    sender.send(expensive_computation_that_returns_int());

    sender.send(another_expensive_computation_that_returns_float());

});

// Do some useful work for awhile

// Let's see what that first answer was

std::cout << receiver.recv_as() << std::endl;

// Let's see what that second answer was

std::cout << receiver.recv_as() << std::endl;

```

> **Note**  

> This library also supports methods like `try_recv` and `recv_timeout`.
