Description

This project is a basic example of using gRPC with Node.js. It includes a gRPC server and client that exchange simple messages. The server offers four methods: SayHello, SayGoodbye, GetTime, and MultiplyNumbers.

Project Structure

• helloworld.proto - Defines the gRPC service and messages.
• server.js - Implements the gRPC server.
• client.js - A sample gRPC client that calls methods on the server.

Requirements

To work with this project, you'll need Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [repository URL]
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd [directory name]
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

Running the Application

Starting the Server

Run the following command to start the server:

node server.js

Running the Client

Open a new terminal and run the client:

The client will send requests to the server, and you'll see the responses in the console.

Service Methods

• SayHello: Accepts a name as a parameter and returns a greeting message.
• SayGoodbye: Accepts a name and returns a farewell message.
• GetTime: Returns the current server time.
• MultiplyNumbers: Accepts two numbers and returns their product.

Testing

You can modify the request parameters in client.js and rerun the client to see different server responses.
