block

block is a pluggable http server, where each handler communicates with the server through a grpc interface.

Build

block depends on protoc and protoc-gen-go to generate sources before block can be built.

go generate
go build -o block cmd/block/main.go

Example

See /examples for code examples

block uses toml to configure the server and each handler. Each handler is a sub process running locally, and needs to be given a unique port to listen to. The entrypoint is the shell command needed to start the handler.

[server]
addr = "localhost"
port = 8080

[handler.echo]
port = 9090
path = "/echo"
entrypoint = "go run examples/echo/main.go"

The example can be run using the following.

go run cmd/block/main.go -config examples/config.toml

#in another terminal
curl localhost:8080/echo
