Spawn an Actor

spawn () Counter addToView
-- Spawns a `Counter` and adds it to your
-- applications view.


spawn () Counter (\_ -> noOperation)
-- Spawns a `Counter` and doesn't do anything with
-- the newly retrieved Pid.


spawn 10 Counter (\pid -> batch [
      addToView pid
    , populateAddress AllCounters pid
]
-- Spawns a `Counter` and passes it some appFlags
-- (Int 10) then adds it to your
-- applications view and populates an
-- address `AllCounters`.

Stops a process (an Actor becomes a Process identified by a Pid after you have spawned it).

This is also stops any processes that the targeted process might have spawned.

If the process is part of the applications view it will be removed.

stopProcess pid

Every Actor has a view, but it's up to you to determine the order and even if you want it to render.

The applications view function receives a list of outputs in the order you have added the Pids to the applications view using this function.

spawn Counter addToView
-- Spawns a `Counter` and adds it to your
-- applications view.

Add an process to an address. Multiple processes can be housed under the same or multiple addresses.

Once a process is listed under an address you can send it messages by using sendToAddress.

batch [
    spawn Counter (populateAddress AllCounters)
    , spawn Counter (populateAddress AllCounters)
]
-- Spawn two Counter Actors and populate the
-- same address (AllCounters).

Remove a process from the applications view

Remove a process from the given address

Send a process a message using its Pid.

sendToPid pid (CounterMsg Increment)

Send a message to an address that mone, a single or multiple processes might receive.

sendToAddress AllCounters (CounterMsg Increment)

Batch multiple messages into a single message

batch
    [ spawn Counter (populateAddress AllCounters)
    , spawn Counter (populateAddress AllCounters)
    , updateDocumentTitle "batch example"
    ]
