Building SignalR clients

This section will demonstrate how to use SignalR in different platforms by building three SignalR clients that consume the same SignalR hub provided by the ChatApp.Server application. The code for SignalR is largely the same across platforms, making it easy to learn and implement in your own applications. As such, you can refer to any of these applications to gain an understanding of how to consume a SignalR service in your client applications.

Building a TypeScript client

The first client we will build is a TypeScript client. This application is just a normal HTML page that uses the SignalR JavaScript client library to communicate with the SignalR hub. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that provides static typing and other features to help developers write better JavaScript code. TypeScript code is compiled into JavaScript code, so it can run in any JavaScript runtime, such as browsers and Node.js. To learn more about TypeScript, you can visit the...
