# TypedSocket Hints

## SmartServe Integration (Added v3.1.0)

TypedSocket now supports SmartServe as an alternative WebSocket backend via `TypedSocket.fromSmartServe()`.

### Key Differences from Smartsocket Mode

1. **Tag System**: SmartServe uses `Set<string>` for tags, while Smartsocket uses `{id, payload}`. The wrapper stores payloads in `peer.data` with `__typedsocket_tag__` prefix.

2. **Request/Response**: Uses TypedRouter's `fireEventInterestMap` for async correlation when sending server-initiated requests.

3. **Lifecycle**: SmartServe manages WebSocket lifecycle. `typedSocket.stop()` only clears internal state.

4. **eventSubject**: Not fully supported in SmartServe mode - use SmartServe's `onConnectionOpen`/`onConnectionClose` hooks instead.

### Files Modified for SmartServe Support

- `ts/typedsocket.classes.typedsocket.ts` - Main implementation
- `ts/typedsocket.plugins.ts` - Type imports
- `package.json` - Optional peer dependency
