gRPC with Golang demo

Quickstart

In order to install protobuf on your own machine, you can use the following commands

```sh
$ go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/[email protected]
$ go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/[email protected]
```

Download a client for your gRPC backend:

```sh
   $ go install github.com/fullstorydev/grpcui/cmd/grpcui@latest
```

You would also have to setup a protobuf compiler on your local machine and you would install that with the following command according to the platform you work on:

Linux, using apt or apt-get, for example:

```sh
$ apt install -y protobuf-compiler
$ protoc --version  # Ensure compiler version is 3+
```

MacOS, using Homebrew:

```sh
$ brew install protobuf
$ protoc --version  # Ensure compiler version is 3+
```

Run the service

From the server/ directory:

Run the server:

```sh
$ go run server/main.go
```
From another terminal, run the client:

```sh
$ grpcui --plaintext localhost:50051
```

The server port and address running locally have already been set on the `server/main.go` file.

Congratulations! You’ve just run a client-server application with gRPC.

Whenever you change the schema on the proto file, you must regenerate the packaging files. You achieve in this project with this command.

```sh
    $ protoc --proto_path=proto proto/*.proto --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=.
```
