xservice is a simple generator library used for generating services quickly and easily for an proto buffer. The purpose of this project is to generate of a lot of the basic boilerplate associated with writing API services so that you can focus on writing business logic.
To make a golang service:
protoc
command to generate go code from the Proto file, it
will generate an interface, a server and some server utils (to
easily start an http listener).For example, a HelloWorld Proto file:
syntax = "proto3";
package donutloop.xservice.example.helloworld;
option go_package = "helloworld";
service HelloWorld {
rpc Hello(HelloReq) returns (HelloResp);
}
message HelloReq {
string subject = 1;
}
message HelloResp {
string text = 1;
}
From which xservice can auto-generate this interface (running the protoc
command):
type HelloWorld interface {
Hello(context.Context, *HelloReq) (*HelloResp, error)
}
You provide the implementation:
package main
import (
"context"
"net/http"
pb "github.com/donutloop/xservice-example/helloworld"
)
type HelloWorldServer struct{}
func (s *HelloWorldServer) Hello(ctx context.Context, req *pb.HelloReq) (*pb.HelloResp, error) {
return &pb.HelloResp{Text: "Hello " + req.Subject}, nil
}
// Run the implementation in a local server
func main() {
handler := pb.NewHelloWorldServer(&HelloWorldServer{}, nil)
// You can use any mux you like - NewHelloWorldServer gives you an http.Handler.
mux := http.NewServeMux()
// The generated code includes a const, <ServiceName>PathPrefix, which
// can be used to mount your service on a mux.
mux.Handle(pb.HelloWorldPathPrefix, handler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mux)
}
Now you can just use the auto-generated JSON or Protobuffer Client to make remote calls to your new service:
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"net/http"
pb "github.com/donutloop/xservice-example/helloworld"
)
func main() {
client := pb.NewHelloWorldJSONClient("http://localhost:8080", &http.Client{})
resp, err := client.Hello(context.Background(), &pb.HelloReq{Subject: "World"})
if err == nil {
fmt.Println(resp.Text) // prints "Hello World"
}
}
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"net/http"
pb "github.com/donutloop/xservice-example/helloworld"
)
func main() {
client := pb.NewHelloWorldProtobufferClient("http://localhost:8080", &http.Client{})
resp, err := client.Hello(context.Background(), &pb.HelloReq{Subject: "World"})
if err == nil {
fmt.Println(resp.Text) // prints "Hello World"
}
}
