A client-server chat app implemented in Go using gRPC.

## Usage

### Server

Start the server by running `go run server.go`. Alternatively, you can run `go build` while in the Server directory.

### Client

Start the client(s) by running `go run client.go menu.go`. Alternatively, you can run `go build` while in the Client directory.

To run navigate the client: 

* First enter the server ip:port exactly. It is likely `localhost:12021` unless the port at the top of server.go has changed.

* Then you'll enter a username that is yours for the session.

* Finally, you are greeted by the menu system which will allow you to create, join, or view other members and groups.

## Known Bugs

* None currently. If you run into any problems, please don't hesistate to create an issue.

## Notes

* To disconnect from the server, press ctrl+c or type `!exit` (hit enter) and the client will disconnect from the server.

* To move backwards in the menu system, you can type `!back` (hit enter).

* This client/server assumes a 12021 server port. This can be changed in the server.go file near the top.

## Future Ideas

* The !leave function to leave a chat and go back to the main menu.

* Encryption on chat channels.

* Ability to send files.

* Complete server re-write to be more extendible and understandable.
