ASP.NET Core SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET Core developers that makes it incredibly simple to add real-time web functionality to your applications. What is "real-time web" functionality? It's the ability to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as it happens, in real-time.
You can watch an introductory presentation here - Introducing ASP.NET Core Sockets.
This project is part of ASP.NET Core. You can find samples, documentation and getting started instructions for ASP.NET Core at the Home repo.
The JavaScript client is being published to our dev npm registry as @aspnet/signalr-client. The module contains a browserfied version of the client. You can install the module as follows:
- Create an .npmrc file with the following line:
@aspnet:registry=https://dotnet.myget.org/f/aspnetcore-ci-dev/npm/
- Run:
npm install @aspnet/signalr-client
Alternatively, if you don't want to create the .npmrc file run the following commands:
npm install msgpack5
npm install @aspnet/signalr-client --registry https://dotnet.myget.org/f/aspnetcore-ci-dev/npm/
