# Process With Cloud Events
The following demos describe how to use the SK Process Framework to emit and receive cloud events with SignalR.
| Project | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ProcessFrameworkWithSignalR.ProcessOrchestrator | Project that contains Process Builders definitions, related steps, models and structures independent of runtime |
| ProcessFrameworkWithSignalR.AppHost | Project that contains the Aspire orchestration |
| ProcessFrameworkWithSignalR.ReactFrontend | Project that contains a ReactJS App to showcase sending and receiving cloud events to and from a running SK Process in a server |
## Processes
### Document Generation Process
This SK process emulates the interaction of a user requesting for some document generation for a specific product. This includes:
1. **Gather Product Info Step**: Product Information Fetching
2. **Generate Documentation Step - `GenerateDocs`**: Document Generation
3. **Proof Read Documentation Step**: Document Proof Reading to validate the generate document
4. **Proxy Step**: Request for user approval of the generated document
5. **Publish Documentation Step**: Publish the generated document once the user approves it
6. **Generate Documentation Step - `ApplySuggestions`**: Document suggestions addition if the user rejects the generated document
7. **Proxy Step**: Publish generated document externally

```
- To emit events from the SK Process externally, SK events are sent to the Proxy Step.
- To receive external events and send them to the SK Process, SK Input Events are linked externally and sent to the process.
## Setup
1. A custom server is created that launches the creation of a SK Process with a specific process id and a specific input event.
2. A custom implementation of the `IExternalKernelProcessMessageChannel` is injected containing the custom implementation of the Cloud Event channel to be used. The custom implementation must include:
- `Initialize`: Initial setup to start the connection with the server.
- `Uninitialize`: Logic needed to close the connection with the server.
- `EmitExternalEventAsync`: Logic to send an external event to the server. This may include internal mapping of SK topics to specific server exposed methods.
3. Use of the `ProxyStep` in the `ProcessBuilder` to emit external events on specific SK Events. <br/>Example:
``` csharp
var proxyStep = processBuilder.AddProxyStep([DocGenerationTopics.RequestUserReview, DocGenerationTopics.PublishDocumentation]);
...
docsPublishStep
.OnFunctionResult()
.EmitExternalEvent(proxyStep, DocGenerationTopics.PublishDocumentation);
```
## Usage
1. Run the server running the SK Process using a specific Cloud Event technology
2. Launch the Client App to interact with the SK Process from a UI
