createData
Creates an instance on the server. This is invoked on a new instance by calling [save].
createData(instanceData)
Invokes the method specified by signalR.createName or signalR.name+"Create" and expects the server to respond with the created data and a [can-connect.id] property.
connect([
...
require("can-connect-signalr"),
...
], {
signalR: {
url: 'http://test.com', // URL of the SignalR server
name: 'MessageHub', // Name of the SignalR hub,
createName: 'createTheMessage'
},
Map: Message,
...
});
The following call to .save() invokes a createTheMessage method on the MessageHub hub with the message's serialized data:
new Message({
name: "Justin",
message: "Hello World"
}).save()
// calls MesageHub.createTheMessage({
// name: "Justin",
// message: "Hello World"
// })
The server should respond with the message data plus it's id:
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Justin",
"message": "Hello World"
}
The following signalR connection configurations call their corresponding Hubs and methods:
signalR: { name: 'MessageHub' } //-> MessageHub.createMessageHub(message)
signalR: {
name: 'MessageHub',
createName: "createIt"
} //-> MessageHub.createIt(message)
signalR: {
createName: "createIt"
} //-> THROWS AN ERROR
Parameters
- instanceData
{Object}:The model to create.
Returns
{Promise<Object>}:
A promise that resolves to nothing.
Setup
If your SignalR hub conforms to the required interface (see can-connect-signalr), there is nothing you need to
do to configure this method on the client. If the method name of the create end point on your SignalR hub deviates from
the standard expected by can-connect-signalr, you can override can-connect-signalr's default naming by providing
this property with the name expected by your SignalR hub.
signalR: {
url: 'http://test.com', // URL of the SignalR server
name: 'MessageHub' // Name of the SignalR hub,
createName: 'nameOfMethod'
}
You can call this method directly off of a connection:
connection.createData(message);
CanJS Usage
If your connection is mixed in to a DefineMap (see can-connect-signalr), createData can be called off of the
DefineMap constructor function. Note that can-connect-signalr requires the method signatures
defined on your hub to accept only one parameter. You can pass in multiple values by sending the method
an object:
// returns a promise that will be resolved once data is received by the Hub.
// Note: Data returned from the Hub will be received in the proxy listener.
new Message({
text: 'Hi there!'
}).save();
While createData returns a Promise, that promise does not contain an instance of the created object. That
will be made available through the associated RPC listener, createdData. This listener takes care of updating
model instances or lists.
