method of the Startup
class:
This will enable the ChatHub
to be accessed at the URL http://<your-website>/chat

Finally, you can create a client-side script to connect to the Hub and send and receive messages. This can be done using the following code:
With this code, you can create a real-time chat app with SignalR in ASP.NET.
