ReceivePort class

Together with SendPort, the only means of communication between isolates.

Together with SendPort, the only means of communication between isolates.

ReceivePorts have a sendPort getter which returns a SendPort. Any message that is sent through this SendPort is delivered to the ReceivePort it has been created from. There, the message is dispatched to the ReceivePort's listener.

A ReceivePort is a non-broadcast stream. This means that it buffers incoming messages until a listener is registered. Only one listener can receive messages. See Stream.asBroadcastStream for transforming the port to a broadcast stream.

A ReceivePort may have many SendPorts.

Constructors

ReceivePort ( )
Opens a long-lived port for receiving messages.

Instance Methods

listen ( void onData(message), {Function onError, void onDone(), bool cancelOnError} ) → StreamSubscription
Inherited from Stream.
close ( ) → void
Closes this.
pipe Inherited ( StreamConsumer streamConsumer ) → Future
Pipe the events of this stream into streamConsumer.
take Inherited ( int count ) → Stream
Provides at most the first n values of this stream.
map Inherited ( dynamic convert(T event) ) → Stream
Creates a new stream that converts each element of this stream to a new value using the convert function.
timeout Inherited ( Duration timeLimit, {void onTimeout(EventSink sink)} ) → Stream
Creates a new stream with the same events as this stream.
distinct Inherited ( [bool equals(T previous, T next)] ) → Stream
Skips data events if they are equal to the previous data event.
takeWhile Inherited ( bool test(T element) ) → Stream
Forwards data events while test is successful.
fold Inherited ( initialValue, dynamic combine(previous, T element) ) → Future
Reduces a sequence of values by repeatedly applying combine.
toSet Inherited ( ) → Future<Set>
Collects the data of this stream in a Set.
firstWhere Inherited ( bool test(T element), {Object defaultValue()} ) → Future
Finds the first element of this stream matching test.
forEach Inherited ( void action(T element) ) → Future
Executes action on each data event of the stream.
skipWhile Inherited ( bool test(T element) ) → Stream
Skip data events from this stream while they are matched by test.
join Inherited ( [String separator = ""] ) → Future<String>
Collects string of data events' string representations.
contains Inherited ( Object needle ) → Future<bool>
Checks whether needle occurs in the elements provided by this stream.
asyncExpand Inherited ( Stream convert(T event) ) → Stream
Creates a new stream with the events of a stream per original event.
lastWhere Inherited ( bool test(T element), {Object defaultValue()} ) → Future
Finds the last element in this stream matching test.
singleWhere Inherited ( bool test(T element) ) → Future
Finds the single element in this stream matching test.
drain Inherited ( [futureValue] ) → Future
Discards all data on the stream, but signals when it's done or an error occured.
asyncMap Inherited ( dynamic convert(T event) ) → Stream
Creates a new stream with each data event of this stream asynchronously mapped to a new event.
handleError Inherited ( Function onError, {bool test(error)} ) → Stream
Creates a wrapper Stream that intercepts some errors from this stream.
reduce Inherited ( T combine(T previous, T element) ) → Future
Reduces a sequence of values by repeatedly applying combine.
transform Inherited ( StreamTransformer streamTransformer ) → Stream
Chains this stream as the input of the provided StreamTransformer.
every Inherited ( bool test(T element) ) → Future<bool>
Checks whether test accepts all elements provided by this stream.
any Inherited ( bool test(T element) ) → Future<bool>
Checks whether test accepts any element provided by this stream.
toList Inherited ( ) → Future<List>
Collects the data of this stream in a List.
where Inherited ( bool test(T event) ) → Stream
Creates a new stream from this stream that discards some data events.
asBroadcastStream Inherited ( {void onListen(StreamSubscription<T> subscription), void onCancel(StreamSubscription<T> subscription)} ) → Stream
Returns a multi-subscription stream that produces the same events as this.
skip Inherited ( int count ) → Stream
Skips the first count data events from this stream.
expand Inherited ( Iterable convert(T value) ) → Stream
Creates a new stream from this stream that converts each element into zero or more events.
elementAt Inherited ( int index ) → Future
Returns the value of the indexth data event of this stream.
