sample client-server pair using gRPC and Qt in Go. The server simply stores an integer. The client, when started, automatically connects to the server and, once a second, requests the next value in an incrementing counter. I made this for testing the install environment when working with gRPC and Qt together in Go, since both have a non-trivial install process.

see here to install gRPC: http://www.grpc.io/docs/quickstart/go.html and here to install Qt: https://github.com/therecipe/qt

  • defines one unary endpoint with an input message type and an output message
  • type.
