Getting it Running in Your Project

Run the CollidR.Mvc5.Sample project (go to /person) to get a sense of what's going on. It's even better with two browsers running!

To get it going in your MVC5 project

• Install the CollidR Nuget package

Install-Package CollidR

• In the Startup class for your project, call app.MapSignalR() in the Configuration method
• Register a new bundle for the SignalR scripts in BundleConfig

    bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/signalr").Include("~/Scripts/jquery.signalR-{version}.js"));

• In your Edit view add the CollidR editor pane and alert area using the following Html helper

    @Html.CollidREditorPane()
    @Html.CollidRAlertArea()

• Also in the edit view, render the SignalR script bundle and create an instance of the CollidR proxy and Register the client using the following html helper

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/signalr")
    @Html.RegisterCollidRFor(p => p.PersonId)

Note: Users must be authenticated before accessing any pages that use CollidR
