I am creating a SignalRProxyService for a strongly typed signalR client and I am using Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Cleint.SourceGenerator as shown here.
Can you please help me in creating a generic method that takes any provider(i.e. ClientHubs Interfaces) and register it. So, I don't have to define every time about a new ClientHub in different places.
Currently - I am writing in my razor.cs pages:
RazorPageCS_SomeMethod()
{
var HubConnection = new HubConnectionBuilder()
.WithUrl($"{_serviceLocator.Find(user)}/{userHub}")
.Build();
var subscription = HubConnection.ClientRegistration<IUserHubClient>(new UserHubClient());
}
For ClientRegistration I created this method but can not find any better way instead of checking type of T every time when I add a ClientHub:
private IDisposable RegisterHubClient<T>(string HubName, T action, HubConnection hubConnection)
{
IDisposable? subscription = default;
//I have to do this for letting the SourceGenerator generate the code for the Specific ClientHub
if (typeof(T) == typeof(IUserHubClient))
{
subscription = hubConnection.ClientRegistration<IUserHubClient>(new UserHubClient());
}
if (typeof(T) == typeof(IAccountHubClient))
{
subscription = hubConnection.ClientRegistration<IAccountHubClient>(new AccountHubClient());
}
// Wanted to do something like this below but without writing the above code
// the SourceGenerator is not auto generating code which causes error
// (not able to find the specific ClientHub in .g.cs file)
subscription = hubConnection.ClientRegistration(action);
return subscription;
}
StartSignalRConnection() method:
public async Task StartSignalRConnection(string hubName, string serviceName)
{
//creating hub connection logic...
// code of RegisterHubClient
var providerType = ProviderTypes[hubName];
var method = typeof(SignalRProxyService).GetMethod(nameof(RegisterHubClient), BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
if (method is not null)
{
object providerClass = new object();
if (providerType == typeof(IUserHubClient))
{
providerClass = new UserHubClient();
}
if (providerType == typeof(IAccountHubClient))
{
providerClass = new AccountHubClient();
}
var genericMethod = method?.MakeGenericMethod(providerType);
subscription = (IDisposable)genericMethod?.Invoke(this, new object[] { hubName, providerClass, HubConnection });
}
// Start the hub connection
}
