Classes

ActorContext: A context for an actor. The context is provided to the actor for
ActorRef: A reference to an actor. The only way to communicate with an actor is to send messages to it using the API of the ActorRef.
ActorSystem: An ActorSystem is a collection of actors, the can communicate with each other. An actor can only create or lookup actors in the same ActorSystem.
ActorSystemMetrics: Provides metrics for an actor system.
BaseContext

MissingHostHandling: Defines the handling of an actor path if the host part is missing.

actorScheme → const String: Scheme for an actor path.
initMsg → const InitMessage: A constant to be used to initialize an actor after it is created.
localSystem → const String: Placeholder for the local actor system.
shutdownMsg → const ShutdownMessage: A constant to be used to shutdown an actor.
zoneCorrelationIdKey → const String: Use this constant as a key for a Zone value to set a correlation id.
zoneSenderKey → const String: Use this constant as a key for a Zone value to set an actor as a sender.

actorPath(String path, {String? system, String? tag}) → Uri: Creates an Uri valid for an actor path.
localActorPath(String path) → Uri: Creates an Uri for an actor path in the local actor system.
patternMatcher(Pattern pattern) → PathMatcher: Return a PathMatcher that uses the given pattern on the path of the actor.

Actor = FutureOr<void> Function(ActorContext context, Object? message): An actor is a function that processes messages. This function should never be called directly. It should only be used as a parameter to ActorContext.createActor.
ActorFactory = FutureOr<Actor> Function(Uri path): A factory to create an actor. The given path can be used to determine the type of the actor to create.
CreateActor = FutureOr<ActorRef> Function(Uri path, int mailboxSize): Creates an actor for the given Uri.
LookupActor = FutureOr<ActorRef?> Function(Uri path): Looks up an actor by the given Uri.
PathMatcher = bool Function(Uri path): Returns true, if the given path matches.

ActorStopped: Thrown by ActorRef.send if the message can't be added to actors mailbox because the actor is stopped.
MailboxFull: Thrown by ActorRef.send if the message can't be added to actors mailbox because it is full.
MessageNotDelivered: Thrown by ActorRef.send if the message can't be added to actors mailbox.
NoFactoryFound: Thrown by BaseContext.createActor if no factory was found to create the actor.
SkipMessage: If an actor throws an instance of this type while processing an message, the actor will not be restarted.
