# gRPC Support for LabVIEW

This repo contains necessary C++ code and support VIs to implement a gRPC server and client in LabVIEW. You can either use the service as defined to implement a generic server via gRPC or use the implementation as a pattern to implement a gRPC service of your design.

The project supports Windows, Linux, and Linux RT.

## Minimum Compatible LabVIEW Version

LabVIEW source is saved with __LabVIEW 2019__.

## Note: This project is not yet complete

* Not all .proto data types are supported

* The VI generated has not been fully implemented when updating the generated code with the .proto - VIs need to be implemented by hand to match the .proto file in certain cases

* Extensive testing is not complete

* The names of the various generated methods, events, and VIs are subject to change until the 1.0 release

* This project is not supported by NI Technical Support

## User Guide

If you would like to use LabVIEW gRPC in your project and want to where to start: [Quick Start](docs/QuickStart.md) and [Basic Tutorial](docs/BasicsTutorial.md) is a great place to start. This covers step by step guide on,

* how to create a simple proto

* generate the server code

* generate the client code

* make modification to the generated code

* run the server and client program

### Examples

Example servers are located in the examples foldes in the releases.

* helloworld - Example server and client program which implements a simple Unary method. You can run this LabVIEW program along with Python server or client as well

* route_guide - Example server and client program which implement unary, server streaming, client streaming and bidirectional functions

## SSL/TLS Support

The connection to the server can be secured using TLS (Server provided certificates) or Multual TLS (Client and Server provided certificates).

See [Certificates](docs/Certificates.md) for more information.

## Building the server binaries

To build the binaries for the scripting tool or the gRPC server see [Building](docs/Building.md) for instructions.
