RSVP

A gRPC service to help manage RSVPs to an event. This is a little side project to help further our knowledge of Go and get exposure to gRPC.

Setup

1. Make sure that you have postgres installed
2. Run createdb rsvp-dev to get the db up.
3. Setup the needed go packages by running go get google.golang.org/grpc and go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}. These packages will be needed anytime you modify the /proto/RSVP.proto file.
4. Also, run go get to get all the other packages needed.
5. Change directories to /proto using cd proto and then run protoc --go_out=plugins=grpc:. RSVP.proto to generate RSVP.pb.go (already included in the repo).
6. Change to the root directory of the repo cd .. and run make db to get the db all setup.
7. Run go run main.go to start the service. The service is now running on port 8000!

Testing

Right now the app only has testing on the service layer and not around the actual gRPC part. Testing around the gRPC part at some point would be nice.

1. Change into the services directory cd services.
2. Run the tests using go test.
