Using QT's native gRPC support
Here we implement a client using QT 6.8 with an interactive QML UI!
Exploring how to implement the server using gRPC async callbacks
Here we implement all four operations using the newer - and much nicer - callback interface.
Exploring how to implement the client using gRPC async callbacks
Here we implement all four operations as actual - usable - methods with event-callbacks.
Exploring the async callback interface for gRPC in C++
Here we will look into how to use the newer - and much nicer - callback interface.
Monthly update, July 2023
Lots of playing around with gRPC, some fixes in stbl. It's summer ;)
Implementing a unary, async client
In the first iteration, we will deal with a traditional RPC call; it takes one input argument and returns one output value.
Implementing an async client with one message and one stream.
In this iteration of the client, we add incoming or outgoing streams of requests or replies. We are not yet ready to take on the bi-directional stream.
Implementing the full routeguide async server
Here we implement all four operations, including the bidirectional stream rpc method RouteChat(). We also add more abstractions to minimize the code required for each request.
Implementing the full routeguide async client
Here we implement all four operations, including the bidirectional stream rpc method RouteChat(). We re-use the abstractions we created in the previous article.
