This sample demonstrates how to use the Linx SignalRService service in a simple web-based chat application. It is based on the ASP.NET Core SignalR tutorial, but uses the Linx SignalRService service for handling the server-side (SignalR) functionality.
- Open the
SignalR.lsozsolution in the Linx designer. - The sample will listen for SignalR connections on port
8080and REST connections on port8081. If you want to change these values, you can do so on theSettingsscreen. Note that if you change these values, you will also have to update theui/js/chat.jsfile for the sample to work correctly. - Navigate to the
SignalRServicein the solution and select theDebugoption. - After the debugging has completed, select the
Startoption to start the service. - Open 2 instances of the
ui/index.htmlfile in your browser. You can use the same browser (different tabs) or open up 2 instances using different browsers. It is important for the service to be running (see step 4) when you perform this step, as the sample does not contain any reconnection logic on the client side. - In your browser, enter values in the
UserandMessagefields and click on either theSend SignalR MessageorSend REST Messagebuttons. The message will appear in both instances of the opened page. - For additional configuration options on the service, please refer to the Linx documentation.
