bs-grpc "chat" server example
This example requires bucklescript 3.1.5
This "chat" protocol is a bit odd because it uses polling to get updates to the chat.
As of the time of this writing, I have included example validation criteria in chat.proto but it is more or less ignored by bs-grpc. Certainly my immediate target is full support for application-level validation in bs-grpc.
Usage
# install dependencies
yarn install
# generate bucklescript bindings for your .proto
yarn reasonml-compile-proto chat.proto
# compile bucklesript code
bsb -make-world
# run server
node src/ChatServer.bs
Then in another shell, connect the provided Javascript client:
node src/jschatclient
Entering text on stdin to the client will send messages to the #random channel on the server. (Although it's not extremely careful about line cooking.)
Sending EOF (e.g. with Control+D) will close the client.
TODO
- Finish implementing application-level validation in
bs-grpc - Finish the "nick" feature to identify users
- Replace timestamps with serial numbers
- Client should obtain "last serial" from server
- Add support for multiple channels to client
- Do a streaming RPC implementation
