Methods

addActorFactory(PathMatcher pathMatcher, ActorFactory factory) → void
Adds a global actor factory for the actor system. A global factory is used to create a new actor if the caller of BaseContext.createActor provides no factory. The first factory (in order they were added) where the matcher returns true is called to create the actor. If no matcher matches, an exception is thrown.
createActor(Uri path, {ActorFactory? factory, int? mailboxSize, bool sendInit = false}) → Future<ActorRef>
Creates an actor at the given path.
inherited
lookupActor(Uri path) → Future<ActorRef?>
Looks up an actor reference using the given path. If no actor exists for that path, null is returned.

lookupActors(Uri path) → Future<List<ActorRef>>

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
