Packet+

An improved version of the Packet networking library.

​

✨ It’s just better!

This modified version of Packet offers simplified packet definitions and packet safety (early packets are still received). Additionally, it brings minor improvements regarding error messages and optimization.

🛠️ Setup and use it!

First and foremost, learn the original Packet library.

Then, for Packet+, you need to setup a signal library.
Signal+ is recommended because it’s the best.
Make sure to tag the module Signal.

The API is mostly identical to the original library, but there is a key difference, seen below:

❌ Packet:

Use a shared module:

local Packet = require(path.to.Packet)

return {
	MyPacket = Packet("MyPacket", Packet.String),
	MyCoolPacket = Packet("MyCoolPacket", Packet.Number)
}

Or put definitions in every script that uses the packets:

local Packet = require(path.to.Packet)

local myPacket = Packet("MyPacket", Packet.String)
local myCoolPacket = Packet("MyCoolPacket", Packet.Number)

✅ Packet+:

Use a shared module:

local Packet = require(path.to.Packet)

return {
	MyPacket = Packet(Packet.String),
	MyCoolPacket = Packet(Packet.Number)
}

Packet+ removes the name parameter, requiring packets to be defined in a shared module. The packet name is inferred from the table key, reducing repetition and keeping definitions centralized and efficient.
