Should SignalR be stopped and restarted after registering new client methods? Or can .start be called consecutively?

Question

When calling client methods from the Hub SignalR documentation says to "Define methods the hub calls using connection.on after building, but before starting the connection":

In another section the documentation just says this is a best practice.

SO if I'm adding/removing a lot of methods for a given client/hub pair, can I just start the hub, add/remove a method with connection.On(), and call .start() again to ensure it's registered? OR do I have to close() and then call start()?

Answer 1

Methods can be removed/added after starting without requiring a restart.
