Getting Started

gRPC is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework based on protobufs and HTTP/2. We want to generate a gRPC API and Rest API from a single protobuf .proto file compiled with a Protocol Buffer compiler, protoc.

Installation

  1. Install Golang
  2. Include $GOPATH/bin in $PATH
  3. Install protobuf
  4. Install grpc-gateway packages

We need to first install the compiler

brew install protobuf

We also need the grpc-gateway packages

go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

Code Generation

./ctl.sh gen stub

Run

echo_server &

echo_client "Alejandro"
