This is my personal gRPC server template. I referred to Tin Petric's Advent of Go Microservices book a lot for this. Feel free to use this, and make suggestions.

Development tools:

In order to bootstrap this project, you will need the following tools:

• go
• make
• protoc
• protoc-gen-go
• impl Be sure that all of these are installed before starting.

Usage:

Using this library is pretty straight forward, just run make. That will generate the required server files, and RPCs. Run make run to jump straight into running the generated server server.

Scaffolding:

Creating a new server requires that you create a new .proto file in the rpc directory. For example, if I wanted to make another server and have it be called, Router I would just copy the existing .proto file into the router directory like so:

cp -r rpc/proxy rpc/router
make

This will copy the proxy server definitions to make another router server, and then generate the new router server.

Filling in the stubs:

The make command generates server stubs at server/$SERVER_NAME. These are created with josharian's impl tool. Fill these implementations in with whatever logic you want. Running make again will not delete this file. So if you want to regenerate this file, you have to manually delete it first, then run make.
