This PR introduces a couple of helper functions in
iced_native::subscription
to help users create custom subscriptions.Specifically, it introduces both a
run
andunfold
method:The
unfold
helper can be leveraged to create aSubscription
that spawns an asynchronous worker in the background and establish a channel of communication with aniced
application.This can be achieved by creating an
mpsc
channel inside the closure and returning theSender
as aMessage
for theApplication
:As usual, I have implemented a new example to showcase this functionality. The new
websocket
example uses thesubscription::unfold
helper to open and maintain a WebSocket connection to an echo server. TheApplication
can send and receive messages from the WebSocket managed by theSubscription
.I hope this makes implementing custom subscriptions considerably easier for everyone!
Closes #1172.
