Struct TypedSignal 

pub struct TypedSignal<'c, C, Ps>
where
    C: WithSignals,
{ /* private fields */ }

Type-safe version of a Godot signal.

Short-lived type, only valid in the scope of its surrounding object type C, for lifetime 'c. The generic argument Ps represents the parameters of the signal, thus ensuring the type safety.

See the Signals chapter in the book for a general introduction and examples.

Listing signals of a class

The WithSignals::SignalCollection struct stores multiple signals with distinct, code-generated types, but they all implement Deref and DerefMut to TypedSignal. This allows you to either use the concrete APIs of the generated types, or the more generic ones of TypedSignal.

You can access the signal collection of a class via self.signals() or Gd::signals().

Connecting a signal to a receiver

Receiver functions are functions that are called when a signal is emitted. You can connect a signal in many different ways:

• connect(): Connect a global/associated function or a closure.
• connect_self(): Connect a method or closure that runs on the signal emitter.
• connect_other(): Connect a method or closure that runs on a separate object.
• builder() for more complex setups (such as choosing ConnectFlags or making thread-safe connections).

Emitting a signal

Code-generated signal types provide a method emit(...), which adopts the names and types of the #[signal] parameter list. In most cases, that’s the method you are looking for.

For generic use, you can also use emit_tuple(), which does not provide parameter names.

Generic programming and code reuse

If you want to build higher-level abstractions that operate on TypedSignal, you will need the SignalReceiver trait.

Implementations

impl<'c, C, Ps> TypedSignal<'c, C, Ps>

where C: WithSignals, Ps: ParamTuple,

pub fn builder<'ts>(&'ts self) -> ConnectBuilder<'ts, 'c, C, Ps>

Fully customizable connection setup.

The returned builder provides several methods to configure how to connect the signal. It needs to be finalized with a call to any of the builder’s connect_* methods.

pub fn emit_tuple(&mut self, args: Ps)

where Ps: OutParamTuple,

Emit the signal with the given parameters.

This is intended for generic use. Typically, you’ll want to use the more specific emit() method of the code-generated signal type, which also has named parameters.

impl<C, Ps> TypedSignal<'_, C, Ps>

where C: WithSignals, Ps: InParamTuple + 'static,

pub fn connect<F>(&self, function: F) -> ConnectHandle

where F: for<'c_rcv> SignalReceiver<(), Ps> + 'static, IndirectSignalReceiver<'c_rcv, (), Ps, F>: for<'c_rcv> From<&'c_rcv mut F>,

Connect a non-member function (global function, associated function or closure).

Example usages:

sig.connect(Self::static_func);
sig.connect(global_func);
sig.connect(|arg| { /* closure */ });

• To connect to a method on the object that owns this signal, use connect_self().
• If you need connect flags or cross-thread signals, use builder().

pub fn connect_self<F, Declarer>(&self, function: F) -> ConnectHandle

where F: for<'c_rcv> SignalReceiver<&'c_rcv mut C, Ps> + 'static, IndirectSignalReceiver<'c_rcv, &'c_rcv mut C, Ps, F>: for<'c_rcv> From<&'c_rcv mut F>, C: UniformObjectDeref<Declarer>,

Connect a method (member function) with &mut self as the first parameter.

• To connect to methods on other objects, use connect_other().
• If you need connect flags or cross-thread signals, use builder().

pub fn connect_other<F, OtherC, Declarer>( &self, object: &impl ToSignalObj<OtherC>, method: F, ) -> ConnectHandle

where OtherC: UniformObjectDeref<Declarer>, F: for<'c_rcv> SignalReceiver<&'c_rcv mut OtherC, Ps> + 'static, IndirectSignalReceiver<'c_rcv, &'c_rcv mut OtherC, Ps, F>: for<'c_rcv> From<&'c_rcv mut F>,

Connect a method (member function) with any &mut OtherC as the first parameter, where OtherC: GodotClass (both user and engine classes are accepted).

The parameter object can be of 2 different “categories”:

• Any &Gd<OtherC> (e.g.: &Gd<Node>, &Gd<CustomUserClass>).
• &OtherC, as long as OtherC is a user class that contains a base field (it implements the WithBaseField trait).

• To connect to methods on the object that owns this signal, use connect_self().
• If you need connect flags or cross-thread signals, use builder().

impl<C, R> TypedSignal<'_, C, R>

where C: WithSignals, R: InParamTuple + IntoDynamicSend,

pub fn to_fallible_future(&self) -> FallibleSignalFuture<R>

Creates a fallible future for this signal.

The future will resolve the next time the signal is emitted. See FallibleSignalFuture for details.

pub fn to_future(&self) -> SignalFuture<R>

Creates a future for this signal.

The future will resolve the next time the signal is emitted, but might panic if the signal object is freed. See SignalFuture for details.

Trait Implementations

impl<C, R> IntoFuture for &TypedSignal<'_, C, R>

where C: WithSignals, R: InParamTuple + IntoDynamicSend,

type Output = R

The output that the future will produce on completion.

type IntoFuture = SignalFuture<R>

Which kind of future are we turning this into?

fn into_future(self) -> <&TypedSignal<'_, C, R> as IntoFuture>::IntoFuture

Creates a future from a value.
