# [−]Trait actix_web::actix::actix::Handler

    pub trait Handler<M>: Actor + Actor where
        M: Message, {
        type Result: MessageResponse<Self, M>;
        fn handle(&mut self, msg: M, ctx: &mut Self::Context) -> Self::Result;
    }

Message handler

`Handler` implementation is a general way how to handle incoming messages, streams, futures.

`M` is a message which can be handled by the actor.

## Associated Types

### `type Result: MessageResponse<Self, M>`

The type of value that this handle will return

## Required Methods

### `fn handle(&mut self, msg: M, ctx: &mut Self::Context) -> Self::Result`

Method is called for every message received by this Actor

## Implementations on Foreign Types

####

`fn handle( &mut self, msg: StopServer, ctx: &mut Context<Server> ) -> <Server as Handler<StopServer>>::Result` |

###

`impl Handler<Signal> for Server`

Signals support Handle `SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`, `SIGQUIT` signals and stop actix system message to `System` actor.

#### `type Result = ()`

####

`fn handle(&mut self, msg: Signal, ctx: &mut Context<Server>)` |

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
