GrpcHelloWorld
ASP.NET Core 5.0 gRPC simple chat implementation for people who want to get familiar with some gRPC features
Description
This solution contains server and client for simplest chat app. Console client connects to the server and sends messages. Server replicates messages to sender and other connected clients.
- Client-to-server messages (client sends messages) are done using unary calls.
- Server-to-client messages (server sends received message to clients) are done using server-side streaming and Channels.
There are nothing about authentication. Client sends a nickname when connects to a feed and nickname + message on each chat message send.
More details in chat.proto file.
