Client library enabling real-time communication with ASP.NET Core servers. Supports server push, client-server messaging, coroutines for async tasks, customizable serialization, automatic reconnect, and streaming.
SignalRKore is a Kotlin Multiplatform client library for ASP.NET Core SignalR. It enables real-time communication between clients and servers, allowing server-side code to push content to clients and vice-versa instantly.
// Create a connection
val connection = HubConnectionBuilder.create("http://localhost:5000/chat")
// Start the connection
connection.start()
// Send a message to the server
connection.send("broadcastMessage", "User", "Hello, SignalR!")
// Receive messages from the server
connection.on("broadcastMessage", String.serializer(), String.serializer()).collect { (user, message) ->
println("$user says: $message")
}
connection.stop()
Please see the documentation.
All functionality was possible to implement only thanks to AzureSignalR ChatRoomLocal sample.
