console-chat

A project designed to learn about Go, gRPC and Redis Pub/Sub.

The application has a server where many clients can connect to in order to send messages back and forth through Redis as a message broker.

The publisher/subscriber model allows clients to subscribe to the server, while the server publishes incoming client requests back out.

Demo

Installation

Set up a redis server (instructions found here) and make the necessary configurations in the server/clients to point towards the correct port.

Get the generated code using go get -u github.com/clarencejychan/consolechat-grpc

Run go run server.go or go build server.go in console-chat/server/cmd and run the binary.

Run go run client.go or go build client.go in console-chat/client and run the binary on as many consoles as you would like.

Follow the prompts on the screen and try typing into the client consoles!
