grpc-demo

This is a repository which gives an overview of basic implementation for client and server using gRPC

Folder Structure

/calculatorpb: Protocol buffers package which contains the gRPC message and service definitions. /server: gRPC server written in GoLang which performs basic mathematical operations. /goclient: gRPC client written in Golang which runs a http server and gets a request from client to forward to another server by sending a request and receiving a result of the mathematical operation as a response. codegen.sh A script to generate the protocol buffers go code from the .proto file. (make sure you have thord party folder in vendors directory or you can change the path accordingly)

Usage

Clone the repo inside your $GOPATH. From the root of the project, install the required dependencies by running:

go get

Run your server:

go run server/main.go

While running the above command, your server will start listening at port :3030 for all the remote procedure calls.

Run your client:

go run go-client/main.go

This will run a gin server which accepts an http request on port :9002 and serves a response in http format by fetching it using gRPC from another sever.
