gRPC

How to use

Manual Code Generation

protoc -Igreet/proto --go_out=. --go_opt=module=github.com/MartinLupa/gRPC --go-grpc_out=. --go-grpc_opt=module=github.com/MartinLupa/gRPC greet/proto/dummy.proto

Explanation of command flags:

-Igreet/proto: -I/ indicates where the input file is.
--go_out=. and --go-grpc_out=.: indicate that we want to generate the code in the current directory. But will be influenced by --go_opt and --go-grpc_opt.
--go_opt=module=github.com/MartinLupa/gRPC and --go-grpc_opt=module=github.com/MartinLupa/gRPC: we are indicating that our module is called "github.com/MartinLupa/gRPC", so the command will remove this part of the string from the go_package(originally "github.com/MartinLupa/gRPC/greet/proto") and will leave only "./greet/proto", so the output of the command will be available in such path of ./greet/proto.
greet/proto/dummy.proto: indicates where the .proto file is located.

Code Generation with Makefile

make <project_name>: to generate the code out of the .proto file.
make help: to see all available options.

Running client and server

open one terminal and run ./bin/<project_name>/server
open a second terminal and run ./bin/<project_name>/client
