Document interaction with actors #697

Open patriknw opened 4 years ago

patriknw commented 4 years ago

Perhaps we need some additional documentation to illustrate how to use Akka gRPC with actors, especially the bi-directional streaming.

In the Cluster Client example we used this on the client side:

https://github.com/akka/akka-samples/blob/f8493a8922c4f1cff9f60bb39c46823f3f1587bc/akka-sample-cluster-client-grpc-scala/src/main/scala/sample/cluster/client/grpc/ClusterClient.scala#L63-L103

and on the server side:

https://github.com/akka/akka-samples/blob/f8493a8922c4f1cff9f60bb39c46823f3f1587bc/akka-sample-cluster-client-grpc-scala/src/main/scala/sample/cluster/client/grpc/ClusterClientReceptionistGrpcImpl.scala#L26-L62

While I'd be happy to learn more about the subject, there is already a description of how to combine Actors and Server-side stubs: https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-grpc/current/server/walkthrough.html#stateful-services

Just posting that here in case it was what you were referring to

That's a useful example, but the the links I provided contain more advanced usage. Especially the mapMaterializedValue part is probably not trivial.
