📓 About

🚀 Project developed to demonstrate two type of gRPC (Unary and Server Streaming)

🛠 Technologies and programming languages

The following libraries and languages were used in the project's construction:

• Go
• gRPC
• Makefile
• Gin

✔️ What works

• Send Posts using unary call;
  
• Receiving new posts in real time using Server Streaming;
  

🚧 In development

• Client streaming;
• Bidirectional streaming;
• JS client;
• Clean Architecture;

↩️ Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need to have the following tools installed on your machine: Git, Go, gRPC and Protobuffer package dependencies and if you want the development mode, install gin to live reload. Additionally, it's good to have a code editor to work with, such as VSCode

Installing protobuffer

Linux

sudo apt install -y protobuf-compiler

MacOS

brew install protobuff

gRPC and Protobuffer package dependencies

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@v1.28
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@v1.2

NOTE: You should add the protoc-gen-go-grpc to your PATH

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"

Install gin

go get github.com/codegangsta/gin
go install github.com/codegangsta/gin

🏁 Running the project

# Clone this repository

# To start the server as dev
$ make run dev

# To build and start server
$ make run build
$ make run run

# The server will start on port 50051 - access it on <grpc://localhost:50051>

# To run client, in the source of this directory, open a new terminal, and execute 
$ go run client/golang/main.go

# you can also use clients like Postman and Insomnia by importing the proto file at /proto/post.proto
