pub fn spawn_future<F: Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'static>(f: F)
Expand description

Spawns a future on the main thread in the main event loop.

Panics

This function itself doesn’t panic but it might panic if you run futures that expect the tokio runtime. Use the tokio-rt feature and an AsyncComponent for this instead.
