Go gRPC Server and Client

This project provides a basic implementation of a gRPC server and client in Go. It demonstrates the following functionality:

Simple RPC
Server-side streaming RPC
Client-side streaming RPC
Bidirectional streaming RPC

Project Structure

The project directory structure is as follows:

client: Contains the client implementation and the main.go file.
server: Contains the server implementation and the main.go file.
proto: Stores the .proto file defining the gRPC services and messages.

Prerequisites

Before running the gRPC server and client, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

Go (1.16 or later): Installation Guide
Protocol Buffers Compiler (protoc): Installation Guide
gRPC Go plugin: Run the following commands to install the plugin:

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

Installation

Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it:

mkdir server-client-go-grpc
cd server-client-go-grpc

Initialize a Go module for the project:

go mod init github.com/your_username/server-client-go-grpc

Install the necessary dependencies:

go mod tidy

To generate the .pb.go files from the .proto file, use the following command:

protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=. proto/greet.proto

Note: Depending on the path mentioned in your greet.proto file, you may need to adjust the command accordingly.

Server Implementation

The server implementation can be found in the server/main.go file. This file defines the controllers and services used by the server.

Client Implementaion

The client implementation can be found in the client/main.go file. This file demonstrates how the client interacts with the server.

Running the application

Start the gRPC server:

go run server/main.go

Run the gRPC client in a separate terminal session:

go run client/main.go
