Runtime

Once a layout and the flows are created, you can create a Runtime that will run the application. Upon creating a runtime, you can load your plugins that will be used to alter the behavior of the runtime. For example, you can load a FileExtPlugin that will allow you to load files with a specific extension, or a UrlSchemePlugin that will allow you to load files with a specific URL scheme.

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let runtime = Runtime::new(
        async |file_ext: &mut FileExtLoader, url_scheme: &mut UrlSchemeLoader| Ok(()),
    )
    .await?;
}

Then you can call the run method to run the application. The run method takes a Flows object and a closure that will be called to load the nodes. The closure takes a Loader object that can be used to load the nodes.

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
runtime.run(flows, async move |loader: &mut Loader| {
    loader
        .load::<Transport>(operator, serde_yml::from_str("")?)
        .await?;

    loader
        .load_url(
            Url::parse("file:///path/to/some/dylib")?,
            sink,
            serde_yml::from_str("")?,
        )
        .await?;

    Ok(())
})
.await
}

The pipeline of the node loading by url is as follow:

• The Loader extracts the scheme of the url.
• It selects the plugin that matches the scheme.
• It then calls the load method of the plugin, passing the url and the node to load, it also provides all the file-ext plugins so that the url-scheme plugin can rely on those plugins.
