Accessing the underlying ActorRef of an akka stream Source created by Source.actorRef

Question

I\'m trying to use the Source.actorRef method to create an akka.stream.scaladsl.Source object. Something of the form

import akka.stream.OverflowStrategy.fai         


        

Answer 1

You need a Flow:

  import akka.stream.OverflowStrategy.fail
  import akka.stream.scaladsl.Source
  import akka.stream.scaladsl.{Sink, Flow}

  case class Weather(zip : String, temp : Double, raining : Boolean)

  val weatherSource = Source.actorRef[Weather](Int.MaxValue, fail)

  val sunnySource = weatherSource.filter(!_.raining)

  val ref = Flow[Weather]
    .to(Sink.ignore)
    .runWith(sunnySource)

  ref ! Weather("02139", 32.0, true)

Remember this is all experimental and may change!
