gRPC in 3 minutes (Node.js)

PREREQUISITES

node: This requires Node 10.x or greater.
homebrew on Mac OS X, linuxbrew on Linux. These simplify the installation of the gRPC C core.

INSTALL

On Mac OS X, install homebrew. On Linux, install linuxbrew. Run the following command to install gRPC Node.js.
```
$ curl -fsSL https://goo.gl/getgrpc | bash -s nodejs
```

This will download and run the gRPC install script, then install the latest version of gRPC Nodejs npm package.

Clone this repository

$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-common.git

Install this package's dependencies
```
$ cd grpc-common/node
$ npm install
```

TRY IT!

Run the server

$ # from this directory (grpc_common/node).
$ node ./greeter_server.js &

Run the client

$ # from this directory
$ node ./greeter_client.js

NOTE

This directory has a copy of helloworld.proto because it currently depends on some Protocol Buffer 2.0 syntax that is deprecated in Protocol Buffer 3.0.
