Azure SignalR Service/Azure WebApp (NodeJS) Integration

Gaurav Mantri 11

I have a NodeJS application that is hosted in an Azure WebApp. I am interested in integrating Azure SignalR Service with this WebApp. I am wondering if it is possible to do so?

All the documentation/samples I have seen talk about integrating Azure SignalR Service with a WebApp running .Net Core.

Thanks

It is possible. The documentation you're looking for is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/signalr/javascript-client?view=aspnetcore-3.1. You can add @microsoft/signalr npm package or use cloudfare cdn. There's sample code in the code.

EDIT: I'm afraid this is not possible it is not possible to run Azure SignalR Service inside a NodeJS server app.

@Ryan Hill Thanks for replying.

The link you mentioned has the server-side code written in ASP.Net Core. What I am looking for integrating SignalR Service where the server-side code is written in NodeJS.

Is that possible?

You're correct @Gaurav Mantri . My mistake for that. I didn't find an official library for using SignalR in a nodejs server implementation but you can use SignalR in a serverless manner by hosting your javascript code in an Azure Function. Take a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-signalr/signalr-quickstart-azure-functions-javascript.

Thanks @Ryan Hill . I also saw that but sadly I am not looking for an Azure Function. We have a WebApp written in NodeJS and would like to integrate Azure SignalR Service with that. I am looking for a yes/no answer at the moment.
