changelog.md for @push.rocks/smartsocket
2025-12-04 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(socketconnection)
Stricter typings, smartserve hooks, connection fixes, and tag API change
- Add unified WebSocket types and adapter interface (TWebSocket, TMessageEvent, IWebSocketLike) for browser/Node and smartserve peers
- Expose smartserve integration via getSmartserveWebSocketHooks() and adapt smartserve peers to a WebSocket-like interface (readyState getter, message/close/error dispatch)
- Improve SmartsocketClient connection logic: prevent duplicate connect attempts with isConnecting flag, ensure flags are cleared on success/failure, and tighten timeout/reconnect behavior
- Improve message parsing logging to surface JSON parse errors during authentication and normal operation
- Tighten TypeScript message and payload types (use unknown instead of any, Record<string, unknown> for tag payloads)
- SocketConnection API change: getTagById() and removeTagById() are now synchronous (no longer return Promises) — this is a breaking API change
- SocketRequest: log errors when function invocation fails and ensure pending requests are removed on errors
- Bump dependency @push.rocks/smartserve to ^1.1.2 and update README to reflect SmartServe integration changes
2025-12-03 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(smartsocket)
Replace setExternalServer with hooks-based SmartServe integration and refactor SocketServer to support standalone and hooks modes
- Remove setExternalServer API and add getSmartserveWebSocketHooks on Smartsocket to provide SmartServe-compatible websocket hooks.
- SocketServer.start now becomes a no-op when no port is provided (hooks mode). When a port is set, it starts a standalone HTTP + ws server as before.
- Introduce an adapter (createWsLikeFromPeer) to adapt SmartServe peers to a WebSocket-like interface and route onMessage/onClose/onError via the adapter.
- Dispatch smartserve messages through the adapter: text/binary handling for onMessage, and dispatchClose/dispatchError for close/error events.
- Update tests: add smartserve integration test (test.smartserve.ts), adjust tagging test cleanup to stop client and delay before exit, remove outdated expressserver test.
2025-03-10 - 2.1.0 - feat(SmartsocketClient)
Improve client reconnection logic with exponential backoff and jitter; update socket.io and @types/node dependencies
- Bump engine.io from 6.5.4 to 6.6.4, socket.io and socket.io-client from 4.7.5 to 4.8.1
- Bump @types/node from ^20.12.7 to ^22.13.10
- Add new optional reconnection parameters (maxRetries, initialBackoffDelay, maxBackoffDelay) to SmartsocketClient options
- Implement exponential backoff with jitter for auto-reconnect and reset reconnection state on successful connection
