bolt's Issues

PayLoad Type example

Hi,

Cloud you add a payload type example, please?
For example, I have a class:

class GameClient {
   double x;
   double y;
   String uuid;
}

And I want to broadcast to my clients new class with all my clients:

class GameStatus {
   List<GameClient> clients;
}

In this case, I have to use payload types from your documentation(fix me if I'm wrong), but I don't understand how to register a payload class after the defining.

ConnectionTimeout on the server must be optional

Hi,
Thank you for the project. Very helpful

On the server side of your project there is a code:

packets.listen((packet) {
      final connection = _findExistingConnection(packet.address) ??
          Connection(clientSalt: 0, serverSalt: 0, address: packet.address);
      if (_connectionTimers[connection] != null) {
        _connectionTimeout(connection);
      }
    });

I'm trying to use the server in broadcast mode and I faced an issue: if my client does not send any to the server for 5 sec, the server initials the client disconnection.

I have a step-based game. And the client has 30 secs to think before the moving. I don't send any action to the server during that time. All the game states got from the server in broadcast mode. But my client disconnects all the time if there are no messages from the client for 5 secs. Could you make _connectionTimeout an optional parameter, please?
