### Installation

[](#installation)

To install via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), use the command below, it will automatically detect the latest version and bind it with `~`.

```
composer require react-parallel/event-loop

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Set up
------

[](#set-up)

Just like the ReactPHP event loop, you should only have one bridge. You can have multiple, and unlike the ReactPHP event loop, that will work, but it adds additional overhead when you have more than a few. Having a hand full for different major contexts. Share this bridge around so that other packages can use them, and only have one instance checking for events.

Channels
--------

[](#channels)

Channels often have a stream of messages going over them, as such the bridge will convert them into an observable.

```
use parallel\Channel;
use React\EventLoop\Loop;
use ReactParallel\EventLoop\EventLoopBridge;
use function React\Async\async;
use function React\Async\await;
use function React\Promise\Timer\sleep;

$eventLoopBridge = new EventLoopBridge();

Loop::futureTick(async(static function () use ($eventLoopBridge) {
    /** @var Channel */
    $channel = new Channel(Channel::Infinite);

    Loop::futureTick(async(function () use ($channel): void {
        $channel->send('Hello World!');
        // Don't close the channel right after writing to it,
        // as it will be closed on both ends and the other
        // thread won't receive your message
        await(sleep(1));
        $channel->close();
    }));

    foreach ($eventLoopBridge->observe($channel) as $message) {
        echo $message, PHP_EOL;
    }
}));
```

Futures
-------

[](#futures)

Where promises are push, futures are pull, as such the event loop will poll and resolve the promise once a result is available.

```
use React\EventLoop\Loop;
use ReactParallel\EventLoop\EventLoopBridge;
use function parallel\run;
use function React\Async\async;

$eventLoopBridge = new EventLoopBridge();

Loop::futureTick(async(static function () use ($eventLoopBridge) {
    $future = run(function (): string {
        return 'Hello World!';
    });

    echo $eventLoopBridge->await($future), PHP_EOL;
}));
```

Metrics
-------

[](#metrics)

This package supports metrics through [`wyrihaximus/metrics`](https://github.com/wyrihaximus/php-metrics):

```
use React\EventLoop\Factory;
use ReactParallel\EventLoop\EventLoopBridge;
use ReactParallel\EventLoop\Metrics;
use WyriHaximus\Metrics\Configuration;
use WyriHaximus\Metrics\InMemory\Registry;

$loop = Factory::create();
$eventLoopBridge = (new EventLoopBridge($loop))->withMetrics(Metrics::create(new Registry(Configuration::create())));
```
