Chat Back-end

This is a Go implementation for a very simple chat backend. It uses SQLite3 for storage and gRPC for the API.

Installation

1. Download the OS-specific Protocol Buffers compiler from https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases and unpack it into /usr/local
2. go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}
3. export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
4. go get github.com/adsouza/chat-backend

Usage

./runme.sh will generate gRPC bindings, run all tests and start the server.

./clean.sh will delete the generated gRPC bindings and the SQLite3 DB file.

Storage

The storage module has a SQL implementation that has been tested with SQLite3.

Logic

The logic module relies upon storage interfaces for which an implementation is available in the storage module.

API

The API is built using gRPC and relies upon a controller interface that is implemented by the logic module.
