Return: a watcher handle. The handle consists of one method –
unregister()
, which unregisters the watcher.To read more about watchers, see the Functions for watchers section.
Примечание
Keep in mind that garbage collection of a watcher handle doesn’t lead to the watcher’s destruction. In this case, the watcher remains registered. It is okay to discard the result of
watch
function if the watcher will never be unregistered.Example:
-- Broadcast value 42 for the 'foo' key. box.broadcast('foo', 42) local log = require('log') -- Subscribe to updates of the 'foo' key. local w = box.watch('foo', function(key, value) assert(key == 'foo') log.info("The box.id value is '%d'", value) end)
If you don’t need the watcher anymore, you can unregister it using the command below:
w:unregister()
