Current behavior

Socket.data is any

New behavior

Socket.data is any by default but Partial<ProvidedType> if a type is provided in the Server and/or Socket constructors

Other information (e.g. related issues)

I had to wrap the provided type in Partial because we are initializing the Socket.data with {}. I did not want to alter this behavior but instead I just wanted to provide a simple way to type the Socket.data field. This fixes #4155.

I'm also not sure if I missed any spots where the types should be added. Maybe @MaximeKjaer could take a look?
