public interface ReadStream<T> extends io.vertx.lang.rx.RxDelegate, StreamBase
Represents a stream of items that can be read from.

Any class that implements this interface can be used by a Pipe to pipe data from it to a WriteStream.

Streaming mode

The stream is either in flowing or fetch mode.
    Initially the stream is in flowing mode.
  • When the stream is in flowing mode, elements are delivered to the handler.
  • When the stream is in fetch mode, only the number of requested elements will be delivered to the handler.
The mode can be changed with the pause(), resume() and fetch(long) methods:
  • Calling resume() sets the flowing mode
  • Calling pause() sets the fetch mode and resets the demand to 0
  • Calling fetch(long) requests a specific amount of elements and adds it to the actual demand

When a hot read stream is obtained (e.g. `HttpServerRequest`), the read stream is in flowing mode, when a cold read stream is obtained (e.g. `AsyncFile`), the read stream is in fetch mode with no demand.

NOTE: This class has been automatically generated from the original non RX-ified interface using Vert.x codegen.

  • Method Details

    • getDelegate

      ReadStream getDelegate()
      Specified by:
      getDelegate in interface io.vertx.lang.rx.RxDelegate
      Specified by:
      getDelegate in interface StreamBase

    • exceptionHandler

      ReadStream<T> exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)
      Set an exception handler on the read stream.
      Specified by:
      exceptionHandler in interface StreamBase
      Parameters:
      handler - the exception handler
      Returns:
      a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    • handler

      ReadStream<T> handler(Handler<T> handler)
      Set a data handler. As data is read, the handler will be called with the data.
      Parameters:
      handler -
      Returns:
      a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    • pause

      ReadStream<T> pause()
      Pause the ReadStream, it sets the buffer in fetch mode and clears the actual demand.

      While it's paused, no data will be sent to the data handler.

      Returns:
      a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    • resume

      ReadStream<T> resume()
      Resume reading, and sets the buffer in flowing mode.

      If the ReadStream has been paused, reading will recommence on it.

      Returns:
      a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    • fetch

      ReadStream<T> fetch(long amount)
      Fetch the specified amount of elements. If the ReadStream has been paused, reading will recommence with the specified amount of items, otherwise the specified amount will be added to the current stream demand.
      Parameters:
      amount -
      Returns:
      a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    • endHandler

      ReadStream<T> endHandler(Handler<Void> endHandler)
      Set an end handler. Once the stream has ended, and there is no more data to be read, this handler will be called.
      Parameters:
      endHandler -
      Returns:
      a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    • pipe

      Pipe<T> pipe()
      Pause this stream and return a Pipe to transfer the elements of this stream to a destination WriteStream.

      The stream will be resumed when the pipe will be wired to a WriteStream.

      Returns:
      a pipe

    • pipeTo

      Completable pipeTo(WriteStream<T> dst)
      Pipe this ReadStream to the WriteStream.

      Elements emitted by this stream will be written to the write stream until this stream ends or fails.

      Parameters:
      dst - the destination write stream
      Returns:
      a future notified when the write stream will be ended with the outcome

    • rxPipeTo

      Completable rxPipeTo(WriteStream<T> dst)
      Pipe this ReadStream to the WriteStream.

      Elements emitted by this stream will be written to the write stream until this stream ends or fails.

      Parameters:
      dst - the destination write stream
      Returns:
      a future notified when the write stream will be ended with the outcome

    • toObservable

      Observable<T> toObservable()

    • toFlowable

      Flowable<T> toFlowable()

    • newInstance

      static <T> ReadStream<T> newInstance(ReadStream arg)

    • newInstance

      static <T> ReadStream<T> newInstance(ReadStream arg, io.vertx.lang.rx.TypeArg<T> __typeArg_T)
