Implementation Examples

Creating a gRPC Server

const { Server } = require('./path/to/Server');

const server = new Server();

const host = 'localhost';
const port = 50051;

server.createInsecureServer(host, port, (err, boundPort) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error('Failed to start gRPC server:', err);
    } else {
        console.log(`gRPC server started successfully on port ${boundPort}`);
    }
});

Adding a Service to the Server

const { Server } = require('./path/to/Server');

const server = new Server();

const protoFile = './path/to/protofile.proto';
const protoMessagesPackage = 'packageName';
const serviceName = 'ServiceName';
const methods = { /* Define your service methods here */ };

server.addService(protoFile, protoMessagesPackage, serviceName, methods);

Creating a gRPC Client

const { Client } = require('./path/to/Client');

const client = new Client();

const protoFile = './path/to/protofile.proto';
const protoMessagesPackage = 'packageName';
const serviceName = 'ServiceName';
const host = 'localhost';
const port = 50051;

client.createInsecureConnection(protoFile, protoMessagesPackage, serviceName, host, port, (serverAddress) => {
    console.log(`Connected to gRPC server at ${serverAddress}`);
});

Making RPC Calls with the Client

const { Client } = require('./path/to/Client');

const client = new Client();

const methodName = 'MethodName';
const message = { /* Your request message here */ };

client.callServer(methodName, message, (error, response) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error('RPC call failed:', error);
    } else {
        console.log('RPC call successful. Response:', response);
    }
});
