I tried doing the method call like here
But for some reason it is not working. It is working fine when I am calling from the view.
My purpose is to do a function which fetches large amount of data from the DB and do functions with it and updates the progress as percentage on progress bar on same view. I have implemented everything else but couldn't find a faster to get the data live from the controller to view on each successful completion of the function. I am thankful if anybody else could help me correct this method or suggest a more suitable way for my purpose.
If you need more details, please ask.
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SendMessge()
{
var hubContext = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<SearchHub>();
hubContext.Clients.All.addNewMessageToPage("New Message");
return Json("Success"); ;
}
SearchHub.cs:
namespace SearchHuB
{
public class SearchHub : Hub
{
public void Send(string msg)
{
Clients.All.addNewMessageToPage(msg);
}
}
}
Script:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
sendmessage();
});
function sendmessage() {
$.ajax({
url: '@Url.Action("SendMessge", "Search", new { })',
type: 'POST',
success: function (result) {
}, error: function (jqXHR, exception) {
}
});
}
var chat = $.connection.searchHub;
chat.client.addNewMessageToPage = function (m) {
console.log(m)
}
var notificationHub = $.connection.searchHub;
$.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
console.log('Notification hub started');
});
<script>
It does work when I call from same view like this:
var chat = $.connection.searchHub;
chat.server.send("new message")
