Signal. R on Old-school Servers & Clients When some lower-common denominator polling mechanism is needed Got Data? Web Server Got Data? Here’s some data Got Data? HTML Client Got Data?
Signal. R on Modern Servers & Clients Web Server I can party in real time. Can you? HTML Client When Web. Sockets or some other real-time layer is supported
Hub • A more high-level pipeline built upon the Connection API that allows your client and server to call methods on each other directly Connection • Represents a simple endpoint for sending single-recipient, grouped, or broadcast messages Backplane • A backplane allows you to scale your application to multiple servers. With a backplane enabled, each application instance sends messages to the backplane, and the backplane forwards them to the other application instances.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic - Arthur C. Clarke
Since Hubs are called on the client by name, the name can be customized if needed A hub is a. NET class that inherits from Microsoft. Asp. Net. Signal. R. Hub The Clients property of a Hub class exposes dynamic properties useful for targeting specific clients Hub classes also have virtual methods useful for responding to connected/disconnected events
all Clients. All. do. Work()
Clients. Caller. do. Work()
other Clients. Others. do. Work()
specific Clients. Users(“Brady”). do. Work()
