gRPC Interfaces Folder - Golang Project

Welcome to the gRPC Interfaces folder of our Golang project. This folder contains the Protocol Buffer definitions (.proto files) and the auto-generated gRPC code for the various services and messages used in our project. It provides an organized structure for managing gRPC communication between different components within the project.

Structure

The structure of the gRPC Interfaces folder is as follows:

grpc/
  ├── interfaces/
  │   ├── service1/
  │   │   ├── service1.proto
  │   │   ├── service1.pb.go
  │   │   └── service1_grpc.pb.go
  │   ├── service2/
  │   │   ├── service2.proto
  │   │   ├── service2.pb.go
  │   │   └── service2_grpc.pb.go
  │   └── ...
  ├── Makefile
  └── ...

Each subdirectory within grpc/interfaces represents a separate gRPC service. Inside each service folder, you will find the .proto file containing the service and message definitions, as well as the auto-generated .pb.go and _grpc.pb.go files containing the corresponding Golang code.

Usage

To use a gRPC service from the grpc/interfaces folder, simply import it in your Go code using the project's import path. For example, if your project's import path is github.com/username/project, and you want to import service1, you would do:

import "github.com/username/project/grpc/interfaces/service1"

You can then use the types and functions provided by the service to implement gRPC communication between different components of your project.

Generating gRPC Code

To generate the Golang code for the gRPC services, you will need to have the Protocol Buffer Compiler (protoc) and the gRPC-Go plugin installed on your system. Once you have them installed, you can use the provided Makefile to generate the necessary files:

make generate

This command will run protoc with the gRPC-Go plugin and generate the .pb.go and _grpc.pb.go files for each service in the grpc/interfaces folder. If you add, update, or remove a .proto file, make sure to run the make generate command to keep the generated code in sync.
