# gRPC-Chat-App
gRPC based terminal-2-terminal based chat app
## gRPC Chat Application
* This application is an implementation of a client-server connection using [**gRPC remote protocol**](https://grpc.io/) connection
* Unlike HTTP, gRPC provides a bi-directional connection so that both client and server can **stream data** once connected.
* gRPC uses **HTTP2** internally for blazing fast connectivity, speeding connection **200 - 500%**
* Server is a **bidi streaming** implementation, while client connects through with the server and subscribes to all the chat messages of other clients, including itself :D.
## Installing it in your system
- Make sure you have go installed in your machine. You can check that using
```bash
$ go version
```
If not installed go to [Go install docs](https://golang.org/doc/install)
- Else, Clone this repo
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/yashrsharma44/grpc-chat-app.git
```
- To start the server change the directory to `grpc-chatapp/server/` and run
```bash
$ cd grpc-chatapp/server/
$ make run
```
It will install the missing dependencies, build the binary and run the executable.
- To do the same with the client, change the directory to `grpc-chatapp/client/` and run the previous command.
```bash
$ cd grpc-chatapp/client/
$ make run
```
- To get more info about the make command, run `make help`. It will display:
```
Choose a command run in server:
install Install missing dependencies. Runs `go get` internally.
build Building the binary.
run Build and run the binary
exec Run given command, wrapped with custom GOPATH.
clean Clean build files. Runs `go clean` internally.
```
## Support
