Upgrade SignalR to .net Core SignalR- field names incorrect, Cannot read property 'getTimezoneOffset' of null

[Andy]

     Just a heads up on what I found upgrading to .net Core in my SignalR implementation. The Core version automatically camel cases field names, so when I was pulling field names in my schema, StartDate came up as startDate, so my schema pulling "from: StartDate" gave me a null field. Hope that helps someone.

Hello Andy,

Depending on the ASP.NET Core version the default JSON serializer behavior differs and as you have observed properties may be passed in camel case or pascal case. We have provided guidelines on how to configure the JSON serializer so that the property name casing doesn't change during serialization:

Thanks for the link. That's very useful for api and odata calls, but I don't know of such a setting to affect signalr transactions, so I believe I'll have to deal with camel cased variable names.

Hello,

JSON serialization can be configured on the server using the AddJsonProtocol method. The method can be added after AddSignalR in Startup.ConfigureServices. You can also try setting the configuration following the guidance in this article:
