Akka integration

The akka module adds some extra codecs and an akka serializer.

To use it add the dependency:

libraryDependencies += "io.github.vigoo" %% "desert-akka" % "0.3.0"

Codecs

The module defines the following codecs:

Codec for Akka Classic actor references (BinaryCodec[ActorRef])
Codec for Akka typed actor references (BinaryCodec[ActorRef[T]])
Codec for ByteString

Syntax

Some akka-specific serializer functions are exposed in theio.github.vigoo.desert.akkasupport package:

serializeToByteString
serializeUnknownToByteString
deserializeFromByteString
deserializeUnknownFromByteString

Akka Serialization

desert can be used as an Akka serializer for remoting and persistence by inheriting from DesertSerializerBase and setting up a type registry in it.

import io.github.vigoo.desert._
import io.github.vigoo.desert.akkasupport._

class DesertSerializer extends DesertSerializerBase {
  override val typeRegistry: TypeRegistry = DefaultTypeRegistry()
    // .register[X]()
    // ...
    // .register[Z]()
    .freeze()
}
