A library for simplifying working with foundries sockets. This module does not have any user facing features. You only need to install it if one of the modules you use lists it as a dependency.
This library makes it easy to execute functions in the clients of other connected users. Parameters can be passed to the remote functions as easy as they can be passed to regular functions and it's possible to retrieve the return value of the remote function via await
. The features of socketlib are:

Having this resource to make working with sockets easier has been a big boon to module development. It’s also been a great resource for looking into how best to work with sockets in the Foundry ecosystem, even in situations where the dependency isn’t desired.
While not necessary for regular users in and of itself, this provides a very easy way for other developers to utilize sockets for messaging in their modules. Need to broadcast a message to all clients, implement a GM proxy, or send a message to a specific client? This module has got you covered.
