Narrow the type of this Behavior, which is always a safe operation.
Narrow the type of this Behavior, which is always a safe operation. This method is necessary to implement the contravariant nature of Behavior (which cannot be expressed directly due to type inference problems).
Composes this Behavior with a fallback
Behavior which
is used when this
Behavior doesn't handle the message or signal, i.e.
when
unhandled is returned.

Widen the wrapped Behavior by placing a funnel in front of it: the supplied PartialFunction decides which message to pull in (those that it is defined at) and may transform the incoming message to place them into the wrapped Behavior’s type hierarchy.
Widen the wrapped Behavior by placing a funnel in front of it: the supplied PartialFunction decides which message to pull in (those that it is defined at) and may transform the incoming message to place them into the wrapped Behavior’s type hierarchy. Signals are not transformed.
Example:
receive[String] { (ctx, msg) => println(msg); same }.widen[Number] { case b: BigDecimal => s"BigDecimal($b)" case i: BigInteger => s"BigInteger($i)" // drop all other kinds of Number }
The behavior of an actor defines how it reacts to the messages that it receives. The message may either be of the type that the Actor declares and which is part of the ActorRef signature, or it may be a system Signal that expresses a lifecycle event of either this actor or one of its child actors.
Behaviors can be formulated in a number of different ways, either by using the DSLs in akka.actor.typed.scaladsl.Behaviors and akka.actor.typed.javadsl.Behaviors or extending the abstract ExtensibleBehavior class.
Closing over ActorContext makes a Behavior immobile: it cannot be moved to another context and executed there, and therefore it cannot be replicated or forked either.
This base class is not meant to be extended by user code. If you do so, you may lose binary compatibility.
Not for user extension.
