SignalR

The SignalR service incorporates the required functionality to allow for:

SignalR and/or REST requests to your service
JWT Authentication of those requests
The handling of the operations that are to be executed when a request is received

Quick Steps

Add SignalR plugin to your solution.
Drag the SignalR service onto the Solution Explorer panel.
Set properties for the service. (See below for details.)
Add Server method (e.g. SendMessage) and Client method (e.g. ReceiveMessage) in the Methods Editor.
Drag required functions and types onto the design canvas of an event that was created for your service when you added the Server method (e.g. SendMessage) in the previous step.
Click Debug (on the top toolbar) to test and debug your solution, or right-click on the service or service event (in the Solution Explorer), then select Debug to specifically test and debug the service.
