Proxy generation

In Bifrost, one of the things that have proven very successful is the generation of proxies for JavaScript for artifacts written in C#. This bridges the gap between the two different worlds. We've already seen this with SignalR doing it for hubs. In Bifrost, there also are proxies for hubs. These are slightly different, as we will see, and more consistent with the programming model of Bifrost. In addition to hubs, Bifrost has quite a few other artifacts it generates proxies for. Another aspect of the proxy generation is that it matches the namespaces in C# with JavaScript namespaces. Bifrost has the concept of namespaces for JavaScript, and all the generated code is put into namespaces. You can configure the convention for how it matches the namespaces against each other. We will discuss more on proxies in Chapter 6, An Architectural Taste.
