examples/state/src/main.rs

//! Application may have multiple data objects that are shared across
//! all handlers within same Application.
//!
//! For global shared state, we wrap our state in a `actix_web::web::Data` and move it into
//! the factory closure. The closure is called once-per-thread, and we clone our state
//! and attach to each instance of the `App` with `.app_data(state.clone())`.
//!
//! For thread-local state, we construct our state within the factory closure and attach to
//! the app with `.data(state)`.
//!
//! We retrieve our app state within our handlers with a `state: Data<...>` argument.
//!
//! By default, `actix-web` runs one `App` per logical cpu core.
//! When running on <N> cores, we see that the example will increment `counter1` (global state)
//! each time the endpoint is called, but only appear to increment `counter2` every
//! Nth time on average (thread-local state). This is because the workload is being shared
//! equally among cores.
//!
//! Check [user guide](https://actix.rs/docs/application/#state) for more info.
