A workspace for gRPC server-client implementations using python.

For implementing gRPC services, we need to define three files:

  • Proto file Proto file comprises the declaration of the service that is used to generate stubs (<package_name>_pb2.py and <package_name>_pb2_grpc.py). These are used by the gRPC client and the gRPC server.</package_name></package_name>
  • gRPC client The client makes a gRPC call to the server to get the response as per the proto file.‍
  • gRPC Server The server is responsible for serving requests to the client.

Template for creating gRPC projects

For the ease of getting started with gRPC projects I have created a shell script that can be used to generate the boilerplate code, client and server.

Steps to use this template

  1. Create the proto file
  2. Run the shell script to generate client.py, server.py and generate boiler plate code for gRPC project. 
    sh generate_src.sh
  3. Enter the name of the proto file you have created in step 1.
  4. Now, you have all the files to get started with the gRPC project.

Note: This script works perfectly when proto file names that does not contain space, _ and -
