Introduction

Azure SignalR Service Simulator / Azure SignalR Service Emulator.

An implementation of Azure SignalR Service to run locally. It includes:

• Negotiate endpoint
• Implementation of https://github.com/Azure/azure-signalr/blob/dev/docs/rest-api.md#api

Configuration

The configuration in appsettings.json is self explaining.

Endpoint configuration

"Kestrel": {
    "EndpointDefaults": {
        "Protocols": "Http1"
    },
    "EndPoints": {
        "Https": {
            "Url": "https://localhost:5301"
        }
    }
}

• Kestrel
  • EndPoints
    • Https
      • Url : the address of Azure SignalR Service Simulator

SignalR configuration

"SignalR": {
    "AccessKey": "NPhD3PeL/jY5GHyTQ1PTJfC1vVyDmxUnJamPHwywhC0=",
    "CORS": [
        "https://localhost:8443"
    ],
    "Hubs": [
        "hub1",
        "hub2"
    ]
}

• SignalR
  • Hubs : add hub names you would like to use (Azure SignalR Service manages hub names dynamically for you but Simulator cannot do this)
  • CORS : add your web apps if necessary.
  • AccessKey : you can put any value here if you want }

Connection string

The connection string (with the default configuration) to use in your Azure Apps is: Endpoint=https://localhost:5301;AccessKey=NPhD3PeL/jY5GHyTQ1PTJfC1vVyDmxUnJamPHwywhC0=;Version=1.0;

Format is: Endpoint={Kestrel:EndPoints:Https:Url};AccessKey={SignalR:AccessKey};Version=1.0;

Usage

You can

Build the project yourself

Use the NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/AzureSignalRServiceSimulator

Example PowerShell script (adjust a path to appsettings.json):

$AzureSignalRServiceSimulatorPackage = (Install-Package AzureSignalRServiceSimulator -Scope CurrentUser -Force)
$NuGetPackagesPath = [System.Environment]::ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%LOCALAPPDATA%\PackageManagement\NuGet\Packages")
start-process "$($NuGetPackagesPath)\AzureSignalRServiceSimulator.$($AzureSignalRServiceSimulatorPackage.Version)\executable\AzureSignalRServiceSimulator.exe" -Args "--ConfigFile=$($PSScriptRoot)\configs\AzureSignalRServiceSimulator\appsettings.json"
