jQueryless SignalR

This is a signalR version, which does not depend on jquery (so it's "jqueryless"). It provides it's own shim to replace jquery and exports just the needed function from signalR.

API

The default export if this library equals the $.hubConnection function, which helps you to setup your hub. For details of the original API see here.

Example

Because the API description might not be that useful, I'll provide an example showing how to use this library correctly:

// first we import the library
const signalR = require('jqueryless-signalr');
// then we define the connection options. You can use all options from the original
const connectionOptions = {
    useDefaultPath: false // whether to use the default path or not
    // transport: array of any allowed transports (options: webSockets, foreverFrame, serverSentEvents, longPolling)
    // and any other options I don't know...
};
// then we create the connection itself
const connection = signalR('/signalr', connectionOptions);
 
// here we define the query string for this connection. Usually you want to provide
// any authentication here
connection.qs = {token: 'authenticationtoken', version: '1.0.0'};
 
// then we create a hub proxy. We have to define one proxy per hub we want to use
const myHub = connection.createHubProxy('myHub');
 
// and register all callbacks on the hub. So here we tell the hub, that we can
// receive "echo" messages from the backend
myHub.on('receiveEcho', message => console.log('GOT ECHO', message));
// ... define other listeners as well. To unregister them use myHub.off(event, listener)
 
// then we start the connection. this returns a jquery deferred, which has *done/fail*
// instead of *then/catch*.
connection.start()
    .done(() => {
        // because the connection is now established successfully, we call the *sendEcho*
        // method on myHub, with 1 argument, the string "HELLO WORLD". You have
        // to invoke the methods according to their signature, so echoing a number won't
        // work in this case
        myHub.invoke('sendEcho', 'HELLO WORLD');
    })
    .fail(() =>  console.log('could not connect'));
 
// if we want to stop the connection, we can call connection.stop()
