Phonebook example

The etcd library is showcased on the phonebook example. Phonebook entry "Contact" is modelled by protofile. For each entry name, company and phone number is stored.

To generate go structs from proto file run:

make generate

To start examples you have to have etcd running, if you don't have it installed locally, you can use the following docker image:

sudo docker run -p 2379:2379 --name etcd --rm \
    quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.0.16 /usr/local/bin/etcd \
    -advertise-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379 \
    -listen-client-urls http://0.0.0.0:2379

In the example, the connection to etcd is configured using --cfg argument. If the file is not specified, the application tries to connect to etcd running on the localhost with the default port 2379.

The example contains three programs:

View

View is a showcase for data retrieval. It prints the content of the phonebook:

$go run view/view.go --cfg etcd.conf
Phonebook:
    John Doe
        Inc.
        4569
    Peter Smith
        Company xy
        +48621896

Editor

Editor allows to add contact:

$go run editor/editor.go --cfg etcd.conf put "Peter Smith" "Company xy" "+48621896"
Saving  /phonebook/PeterSmith

create multiple contacts in one transaction:

$go run editor/editor.go puttxn '[{"name":"John Doe","company":"XY","phonenumber":"465464"}, {"name":"Tom New","company":"Comp","phonenumber":"123456"}]'
Saving  /phonebook/JohnDoe
Saving  /phonebook/TomNew

and to remove contacts from the phonebook:

$go run editor/editor.go --cfg etcd.conf delete "John Doe"
Removing  /phonebook/JohnDoe

Watcher

$go run watcher/watcher.go 
Watching the key:  /phonebook/
Creating  /phonebook/PeterSmith
