Research direction
Start with website/versioned_docs/version-0.21/concepts/agents.mdx and compare its codec description with examples/web_worker_fib/src/agent.rs. Read the yew-agent documentation around Registrar and Provider to verify how codecs are selected and whether public/private agents remain relevant. Done means the documentation identifies bincode as the default, points to the postcard example, and accurately explains codec configuration.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This is about:
- A typo
- Innaccurate/misleading documentation (e.g. technically incorrect advice)
- Undocumented code
- Outdated documentation
- Other
Problem
https://github.com/yewstack/yew/blob/master/website/versioned_docs/version-0.21/concepts/agents.mdx
The agents page states that agent communication happens over the bincode codec while it merely is a default. However, just like with gloo-worker itself, the Codec is already perfectly changeable.
Especially since bincode does not support "complicated" data in the sense that deserialize_any is unsupported (https://github.com/bincode-org/bincode/issues/386). This might prevent users from adopting a WebWorker or send them in a deserialization rabbit-hole as their data fails to be passed over the fence with bincode.
Also, is the public/private agent still a thing?
Details about the solution you'd like
I think the most pragmatic solution would be to change the docs to state that bincode is merely the default and point to the Fibonacci example that already uses postcard instead of bincode. yew-agent's docs itself could also point a bit better to what components dictate the codec (Registrar and Provider).
