Exactor for genstage?

Questions & Help Questions

Hi!

Is there an exactor version for genstage? I feel like I’m duplicating my code across different processes :confused: just wondering if there is an easier way to simplify?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Avoiding code duplication is definitely a good thing, but I’m not personally a big fan of the approach taken by ExActor. I think the macros end up producing a bit too much magic in my view. If you post some of the code that you’re trying to refactor we could perhaps offer some suggestions?

Hi!

Sorry for the late reply, got caught up with other things.

Here is some of my code:

  def start_link(init \\ {}) do
    GenStage.start_link(__MODULE__, init, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks
  def init(_state) do
    schedule_work()
    {:producer, 0}
  end

  defp schedule_work() do
    Process.send_after(self(), {:work},  60 * 1000)
  end

  def handle_info({:work}, state) do
     <generate data>
 end

then I feel like I have to copy and paste the whole thing if I want to have a different ````` part so I thought of ExActor would simplify it.

Thanks! =)
