🌐 Go RPC Project: Hello World

This project is a simple demonstration of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) in Go, implementing a basic client-server model. The server listens on port 3000 and provides a service to greet the user. The client sends a request with a argument to the server's method.

🛠️ Steps to Set Up and Run the Project

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

Use the following command to clone the project from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/ciizao/RPC_Go.git

2️⃣ Navigate to the Project Directory

Move into the project directory where the server and client files are located.The server file is named server.go. Start the server by running the following command:

cd  RPC_Go
go run server.go

3️⃣ Run the Client

The client code is located in the client folder. Navigate to it and execute the client:

cd client
go run client.go

• • The client will send a request to the server and display the server's response

🔍 Example Output

Server Output:

When the server is running, it will log the following upon receiving a request:

Server RPC listening on port 3000...

Client Output:

When the client runs successfully, it will print:

Hello World + with RPC and Go

📖 How It Works

1. Server:

   • Listens on TCP port 3000.
   • Provides an RPC service (HelloService) with the method SayHello, which takes a Name argument and returns a personalized greeting.

2. Client:

   • Connects to the server at localhost:3000.
   • Sends a request with a Name argument to the server's SayHello method.
   • Receives and prints the server's response.

3. RPC Concept:

   • Demonstrates Remote Procedure Call (RPC) where the client can call methods on the server as if they were local functions.
