This crate provides an async version of [`std`]. It provides all the interfaces you
are used to, but in an async version and ready for Rust's `async`/`await` syntax.
[`std`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/index.html
## Documentation
`async-std` comes with [extensive API documentation][docs] and a [book][book].
[docs]: https://docs.rs/async-std
[book]: https://book.async.rs
## Quickstart
Add the following lines to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
async-std = "0.99"
```
Or use [cargo add][cargo-add] if you have it installed:
```sh
$ cargo add async-std
```
[cargo-add]: https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit
## Hello world
```rust
use async_std::task;
fn main() {
task::block_on(async {
println!("Hello, world!");
})
}
```
## Low-Friction Sockets with Built-In Timeouts
```rust
use std::time::Duration;
use async_std::{
prelude::*,
task,
io,
net::TcpStream,
};
async fn get() -> io::Result<Vec<u8>> {
let mut stream = TcpStream::connect("example.com:80").await?;
stream.write_all(b"GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n").await?;
let mut buf = vec![];
io::timeout(Duration::from_secs(5), async {
stream.read_to_end(&mut buf).await?;
Ok(buf)
}).await
}
fn main() {
task::block_on(async {
let raw_response = get().await.expect("request");
let response = String::from_utf8(raw_response)
.expect("utf8 conversion");
println!("received: {}", response);
});
}
```
## Features
`async-std` is strongly commited to following semver. This means your code won't
break unless _you_ decide to upgrade.
However every now and then we come up with something that we think will work
_great_ for `async-std`, and we want to provide a sneak-peek so you can try it
out. This is what we call _"unstable"_ features. You can try out the unstable
features by enabling the `unstable` feature in your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies.async-std]
version = "0.99"
features = ["unstable"]
```
Just be careful when using these features, as they may change between
versions.
## Take a look around
Clone the repo:
```
git clone git@github.com:async-rs/async-std.git && cd async-std
```
Generate docs:
```
cargo +nightly doc --features docs --open
```
Check out the [examples](examples). To run an example:
```
cargo +nightly run --example hello-world
```
