I'm trying to use SignalR with MVC bundle, but having problem finding out how to include the /signalr/hubs script into the bundle. For now I have to insert the path in between jquery.signalR and my code. That will result in three javascript file requests.
Is there any way to include /signalr/hubs into my mvc bundle?
The default /signalr/hubs script is generated dynamically by the runtime on the first request and then cached.
You can use hubify.exe (see http://weblogs.asp.net/davidfowler/archive/2012/06/10/signalr-0-5-1-released.aspx for details) to pre-generate the file yourself, so you can add it into the MVC bundle.
I know this is an old thread but I would like to add the following for SignalR 2.x. I really wanted to bundle the proxy using SquishIt and by trial and error I managed to come up with the following:
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs
var resolver = new DefaultHubManager(new DefaultDependencyResolver());
var proxy = new DefaultJavaScriptProxyGenerator(resolver, new NullJavaScriptMinifier());
string iCanHazScriptNao = proxy.GenerateProxy("/signalr");
From asp.net, using the SignalR.Utils NuGet package, I found that I needed to be in the directory with the DLL that has the hub in it:
(assuming you have a standard solution structure and are using 2.2.0 of SignalR.Utils)
cd C:\YourSolution\YourProjectWithTheHub\bin\Debug
..\..\..\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Utils.2.2.0\tools\signalr.exe ghp
After running the tool, there will be a server.js file in the directory you ran it from (in this case, Debug).
(Note: I couldn't get it to work when specifying the path with the /p flag, and for some reason even when it does work, it creates a temp directory with the signalr.exe file in it)
I used @KTW response mentioned on this Thread and here is the complete change
BundleConfig

usersHub.server.getWorkingUsersOnUReservationNumber(searcheduReservationNumbers);

}

/*In case we would decide to continuously reconnect making connection to server.

var item = "Opened By - " + id;
elem.prop('title', item);
elem.css('background-color', 'chocolate');
};
function itemsClosed(elem) {
elem.prop('title', "");
elem.css('background-color', '');
};
});
signalRBundle.js

}(jQuery));

SomePartialView.cshtml Instead of writing below in above partial view
@using Localization
@using Newtonsoft.Json
@model NameSpace.ViewModels.FilterVM
@{
ViewBag.Title = Strings.Filter;
}
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="large-12 columns">
---SOME CODE HERE
</div>
}
@section scripts
{
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var jsData = @Html.Raw(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model));
</script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.signalR-2.2.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/signalr/hubs"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/Views/Search/SignalRFunctions.js"></script>
}
This changed to
@using Localization
@using Newtonsoft.Json
@model NameSpace.ViewModels.FilterVM
@{
ViewBag.Title = Strings.Filter;
}
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="large-12 columns">
---SOME CODE HERE
</div>
}
@section scripts
{
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var jsData = @Html.Raw(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model));
</script>
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/SignalRScripts")
}
Notice
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/SignalRScripts")
in partial view above.Without @KTW file above(ajax request to /signalr/hubs)
var usersHub = $.connection.currentUsersHub;
was always coming as null.
