#react-native-signalr

Connect to your SignalR-server with a active websocket-connection from react-native.
Supports all error-handling and reconnection, including longpolling if needed.

Today the module shims the jQuery-dependency that signalr has.
There is however an ongoing task upstream to remove this dependency.

### Does NOT pull in the entire jQuery-library. Only shimes the few methods SignalR needs. Tested on iOS and Android. No known issues.

#Install:
```
npm i react-native-signalr --save
```

##
There is an example server setup at http://react-native-signalr.olofdahlbom.se (no webite, only responds to signalr)
If it's up and running, you can use it to debug against.
You can find the source for that server under examples/server.
The code below uses that server to setup a connection and communicate over websockets using signalr.
