Additionally, it brings minor improvements regarding error messages and optimization.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n# 🛠️ Setup and use it!\nFirst and foremost, [learn the original Packet library](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoIElUdj64A\u0026ab_channel=SuphiKaner).\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThen, for Packet+, you need to setup a signal library.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://github.com/AlexanderLindholt/SignalPlus\"\u003eSignal+\u003c/a\u003e is recommended because it’s the best.\u003cbr\u003e\nMake sure to tag the module `Signal`.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe API is mostly identical to the original library, but there is a key difference, seen below:\n\n## ❌ Packet:\nUse a shared module:\n```lua\nlocal Packet = require(path.to.Packet)\n\nreturn {\n\tMyPacket = Packet(\"MyPacket\", Packet.String),\n\tMyCoolPacket = Packet(\"MyCoolPacket\", Packet.Number)\n}\n```\nOr put definitions in every script that uses the packets:\n```lua\nlocal Packet = require(path.to.Packet)\n\nlocal myPacket = Packet(\"MyPacket\", Packet.String)\nlocal myCoolPacket = Packet(\"MyCoolPacket\", Packet.Number)\n```\n\n## ✅ Packet+:\nUse a shared module:\n```lua\nlocal Packet = require(path.to.Packet)\n\nreturn {\n\tMyPacket = Packet(Packet.String),\n\tMyCoolPacket = Packet(Packet.Number)\n}\n```\nPacket+ 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.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexanderlindholt%2Fpacketplus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falexanderlindholt%2Fpacketplus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexanderlindholt%2Fpacketplus/lists"}
