Angular Universal vs. SignalR vs. jQuery

[chriscerk]

Angular Universal currently does not support use of jQuery since DOM objects do not exist on the server.

browser types - do not exist on the server - so using them, or any library that uses them (jQuery for example) will not work

Angular Universal Issue #512 when resolved will solve this problem.

Furthermore, SignalR is dependent on jQuery for initializing a connection.
SignalR Issue #372

Luckily .NET Core's SignalR exists.

This needs be explored to see if combining a use of import { isBrowser } from 'angular2-universal'; and implementing the .NET Core version of SignalR

Creating the connection is currently available with Javascript
let connection = new signalR.HubConnection("http://domain.com", "formatType=json&format=text");

Typescript implementation is in development.
