React Native Signalr

Overview

The react-native-signalr library offers a seamless way to connect to a SignalR server using an active WebSocket connection from React Native applications. It is designed to enhance the performance and reliability of real-time applications, providing built-in support for error handling and automatic reconnection. This library is particularly useful for developers looking to implement real-time functionalities without the overhead of loading the full jQuery library, which is commonly associated with SignalR.

The library not only simplifies the integration of SignalR into React Native projects but also ensures that only the necessary methods required for SignalR operations are utilized. Tested on both iOS and Android platforms, it provides a robust solution for mobile applications needing real-time communication capabilities.

Features

• WebSocket Connection: Establishes a direct WebSocket connection to your SignalR server, enhancing performance and message delivery speed.

• Error Handling: Automatically manages errors and ensures that your connection is robust even in the face of network issues.

• Reconnection Logic: Implements automatic reconnection processes, allowing the application to recover gracefully from connection losses.

• Longpolling Support: Offers longpolling as a fallback mechanism if WebSockets are not available, ensuring consistent communication.

• Lightweight Dependency Management: Shims only the essential jQuery methods required by SignalR, avoiding the need to load the entire jQuery library.

• Cross-platform Compatibility: Fully tested and functional on both iOS and Android, making it ideal for cross-platform mobile applications.

• Debugging Server: Includes an example server for testing and debugging your SignalR connection without additional setup.
