Toldata

Protobuf for Nats.io

This Go module simplifies how you use protobuf with Nats.io:

1. Provide proto files
2. Provide Go implementations
3. Bind the implementation on the server side
4. Make a call from the clients

Example

Proto:

message TestARequest {
    string input = 1; 
}

message TestAResponse {
    string output = 1;
}

service TestService {
    rpc GetTestA(TestARequest) returns (TestAResponse) {}
}

Implementation:

func (b *TestServiceProtonats) GetTestA(ctx context.Context, req *TestARequest) (*TestAResponse, error) {
	...
    //some business
    ...
    if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	result := &TestAResponse{
		Output: "OK",
	}
	return result, nil
}

Server side:

Generate the server code from the proto file with --toldata_out= argument to protoc-gogo, then:

    service := &TestServiceProtonats{}
    ...
    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
	bus, err := NewBus(ctx, ServiceConfiguration{URL: natsURL, ID: "bus1"})
	defer bus.Close()
	svr := NewTestServiceProtonatsServer(bus, d)
	chan, err = svr.SubscribeTestService()

    ...
	cancel() // cancel services
	...
	<-chan  // wait and unsubscribe 

Client side:

Generate the client code from the proto file with --toldata_out= argument to protoc-gogo, then:

    var client *Bus
	client, err = NewBus(ctx, ServiceConfiguration{URL: natsURL})
	
	defer client.Close()

	svc := NewTestServiceProtonatsClient(client)
	resp, err := svc.GetTestA(ctx, &TestARequest{Input: "OK"})

GRPC Gateway

A GRPC gateway listens GRPC requests and forward them to NATS. The gateway can be generated by generating code from the proto file with --toldata_out=gprc: argument to protoc-gogo. See grpc_test.go file to check how toimplement the bridge.
