Ingrates

Async

Make use of the actor model to simplify complex async workloads, encapsulate your logic and communicate with decoupled messages

Safe

Each actor runs in isolation so errors are contained, one actor crashing doesn't mean catastrophe

Portable

Runs the same on the server and the browser (with no build step), and provides great tooling for communication between the two

import createActorSystem from "@little-bonsai/ingrates";

async function* ChildActor({ parent, dispatch }, firstname, lastname) {
  const msg = yield;

  if (msg.type === "HELLO") {
    dispatch(msg.src, {
      type: "GOODBYE",
      msg: `say goodbye to ${firstname} ${lastname}`,
    });
  }
}

async function* RootActor({ spawn, self, dispatch }) {
  const myChild = spawn(ChildActor, "Bert", "Jurnegen");

  dispatch(myChild, { type: "HELLO" });

  while (true) {
    const msg = yield;
    if (msg.type === "GOODBYE") {
      console.log("Please... my son. He's very sick");
    }
  }
}


createActorSystem()(RootActor);
