Project Description
KsigDo show real time view model syncing across user screens - using ASP.NET, Knockout and SignalR
KsigDo = Knockout + SignalR To-do app. Source code is here in Codeplex, keep it handy.
Real time data syncing across user views was hard, especially in web applications. Most of the time, the second user needs to refresh the screen, to see the changes made by first user, or we need to implement some long polling that fetches
the data and does the update manually.
Now, with SignalR and Knockout, ASP.NET developers can take advantage of view model syncing across users, that’ll simplify these scenarios in a big way, with minimal code. This post discusses how to implement a real time to-do pad, which will sync data
across users accessing the application. This means, users can make changes to their tasks (add/remove/update etc), and other users will see the changes instantly. The focus is on the technique, I’m not trying to build a fabulous user experience here.
