Testing out grpc and Go.

A simple chat client server implementation. My baby steps with Go.

Server

In project root folder, run go build and run executable. Executable flags:

• -p: port to which server is listening

Client

In ./client run go build and run executable. Executable flags:

• -p <port No>: server port
• -u <username>: username with which you connect

Client is getting terminal input and recognizes 3 commands:

• cc <chat room name>: Create chat room
• sc <chat room name>: Select chat room
• s <message>: Send message to last selected chat

When a user has selected a chat room and sends a msg, server will send it only towards the user connections which have accessed the said chat room.
