Unable to use shared variable in async callback about rust-socketio

[kitgxrl]

This can be fixed by an additional clone:

let tx_clone = tx.clone();
let callback = |payload: Payload, socket: Client| {
  let tx_clone = tx_clone.clone();
  async move {
    tx_clone.send("...".to_string());
  }.boxed()
};
let callback2 = |payload: Payload, socket: Client| {
  let tx = tx.clone();
  async move {
    tx.send("...".to_string());
  }.boxed()
};

this is untested but how I recall fixing this. It's not by any means ideal but #363 is likely related

Thanks! I figured this out.

But what I ended up doing is use on_any and channel to transfer all event handling to another loop outside the closures to avoid variables moving. It's much simpler.

Here is how I did it.

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct EventMessage {
    pub event: String,
    pub payload: Payload,
}

let (done_tx, mut done_rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::channel::<()>(1);
let (evt_tx, mut evt_rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::channel::<EventMessage>(1);

let socket = ClientBuilder::new(SERVER_URL)
    .on(Event::Connect, |_, _| async move {}.boxed())
    .on_any(move |evt, payload, _| {
        let evt_tx = evt_tx.clone();
        async move {
            evt_tx
                .send(EventMessage {
                    event: evt.to_string(),
                    payload,
                })
                .await
                .unwrap();
        }
        .boxed()
    })
    .on(Event::Error, |err, _: Client| {
        async move {
            eprintln!("Error: {:#?}", err);
        }
        .boxed()
    })
    .connect()
    .await
    .expect("Connection failed");


loop {
    tokio::select! {
        _ = done_rx.recv() => {
            break;
        }
        Some(evt) = evt_rx.recv() => {
            // Handle event received from evt_rx
            match evt.event.as_str() {
                "evt1" => {...}
                "evt2" => {...}
            }
        }
        _ = tokio::signal::ctrl_c() => {
            break;
        }
    };
}

I wonder if it's possible to update the design to use channels for event handling rather than closures. The socket.connect().await can simply return a channel + a socket, then we can read events and payloads directly from the channel to avoid dealing with closures and cloning and move variables to heap.

about this, I'm also thinking about another thing, how to share a "status data" between different callback function?
like in axum you can use a State to share state between callbacks
how can I do that over here?
