Lifecycle

hydrate runs when a client socket is newly upgraded into an actor.

Use it to return the connecting client's initial state and notify already-connected clients.

Hydrate initial state

 
export const hydrate = Effect.gen(function* () {
  const { clients } = yield* TicTacToeActor
  if (clients.size === 1) {
    return {
      awaitingPartner: true,
      name: "X" as const,
    }
  }
 
  yield* TicTacToeActor.others.send("GameStarted", {})
  return {
    awaitingPartner: false,
    name: "O" as const,
  }
}).pipe(Effect.orDie)

hydrate is the snapshot for a reconnectable client. Tic-tac-toe returns awaitingPartner: true to the first socket, then sends GameStarted to the existing player and returns ready state to the second player.

onDisconnect runs when a socket closes or disconnects and is supplied to ActorRuntime.make(...).
