I'm trying to figure out how can I call a grpc server from a javascript function in my nodejs application, and update my page... I don't know how can I manage it.
This is the proto file:
syntax = "proto3";
package helloworld;
service Greeter {
rpc SayHello (HelloRequest) returns (HelloReply) {}
}
message HelloRequest {
string name = 1;
}
message HelloReply {
string message = 1;
}
this is the server:
var PROTO_PATH = __dirname + '/helloworld.proto';
var grpc = require('grpc');
var hello_proto = grpc.load(PROTO_PATH).helloworld;
function sayHello(call, callback) {
callback(null, {message: 'Hello ' + call.request.name});
}
function main() {
var server = new grpc.Server();
server.addProtoService(hello_proto.Greeter.service, {sayHello: sayHello});
server.bind('0.0.0.0:50051', grpc.ServerCredentials.createInsecure());
server.start();
}
main();
this is the javascript function :
var PROTO_PATH = __dirname + '/helloworld.proto';
var grpc = require('grpc');
var hello_proto = grpc.load(PROTO_PATH).helloworld;
function test() {
var client = new hello_proto.Greeter('localhost:50051',
grpc.credentials.createInsecure());
client.sayHello(function(err, response) {
console.log('Greeting:', response.message);
document.getElementById("para").innerHTML = 'Mex Received from grpc server ' + response.message;
});
}
when I click a button on my page i call the function test and i would like to update the element(id=para).
Any idea?
