Link to this function handle_demand(more_demand, arg)

Invoked on :producer stages.

Must always be explicitly implemented by :producer types. It is invoked with the demand from consumers/dispatcher. The producer must either store the demand or return the events requested.

Callback implementation for Experimental.GenStage.handle_demand/2.

Invoked when the server is started.

start_link/3 (or start/3) will block until it returns. args is the argument term (second argument) passed to start_link/3.

In case of successful start, this callback must return a tuple where the first element is the stage type, which is either a :producer, :consumer or :producer_consumer if it is taking both roles.

For example:

def init(args) do
  {:producer, some_state}
end

The returned tuple may also contain 3 or 4 elements. The third element may be the :hibernate atom or a set of options defined below.

Returning :ignore will cause start_link/3 to return :ignore and the process will exit normally without entering the loop or calling terminate/2.

Returning {:stop, reason} will cause start_link/3 to return {:error, reason} and the process to exit with reason reason without entering the loop or calling terminate/2.

Options

This callback may return options. Some options are specific to the stage type while others are shared across all types.

:producer options

  • :demand - when :forward, the demand is always forwarded to the handle_demand callback. When :accumulate, demand is accumulated until its mode is set to :forward via demand/2. This is useful as a synchronization mechanism, where the demand is accumulated until all consumers are subscribed. Defaults to :forward.

:producer and :producer_consumer options

  • :buffer_size - the size of the buffer to store events without demand. Check the “Buffer events” section on the module documentation (defaults to 10000 for :producer, :infinity for :producer_consumer)
  • :buffer_keep - returns if the :first or :last (default) entries should be kept on the buffer in case we exceed the buffer size
  • :dispatcher - the dispatcher responsible for handling demands. Defaults to GenStage.DemandDispatch. May be either an atom or a tuple with the dispatcher and the dispatcher options

:consumer and :producer_consumer options

  • :subscribe_to - a list of producers to subscribe to. Each element represents the producer or a tuple with the producer and the subscription options (as defined in sync_subscribe/2)

Callback implementation for Experimental.GenStage.init/1.
