Setup SignalR communication about position.
We strongly recommend using the SignalR SDKs .
For negotiation we use HubConnectionBuilder. The following negotiate endpoint we provide in withUrl method:

Negotiate endpoint

...

for robust and efficient client-server communication.

To establish a connection, utilize the HubConnectionBuilder for negotiation as described below:

Negotiate endpoint

Utilize the following endpoint with the withUrl method of HubConnectionBuilder:

{baseUrl}/queues/{queueId}/positions/{positionId}?userId=${userId}

Parameters

...

Establishing Connection

Initialize and build the hub connection as shown:

  let hubConnectionBuilder = new signalR.HubConnectionBuilder()
    .withUrl(url, options);

  const hubConnection = hubConnectionBuilder.build();

  hubConnection
    .start()
    .then(() => console.log('Queue service connection is established'))
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error(err);
      throw err;
    });

...

Subscription to Position Updates

Once the connection is established you need , subscribe to subscribe for specific hubMethodName. In our case it is updates for the position-update hub method:

const positionUpdateHubMethodName = 'position-update'
hubConnection.on(positionUpdateHubMethodName, (message: any) => {
        const { position } = JSON.parse(message) as Position;
        if (position) {
              ...
        }
      });

Message Structure

The message from the position-update contains the following properties:

{
  "position": {
    "id": "5387920d-dfdd-4904-8a51-3f007effcffa",
