examples

This directory contains a few examples of how to use the protoc-gen-connectclient-go plugin. We'll use the eliza client as an example. The same steps apply to any other example, just change the name of the example.

Eliza

See the eliza/buf.gen.yaml file for an example of how to use this plugin with buf for code generation.

Assming you have:

1. buf installed
2. In the root of the repository

Run:

make examples

Under the hood, this will run:

buf generate buf.build/connectrpc/eliza --template ./examples/eliza/buf.gen.yaml --include-imports

This will generate the client Go code for the eliza service in the buf.build/connectrpc/eliza module.

In the eliza/main.go file you can see an example of how to use the generated client code. Here's a snippet:

client := elizav1.NewClient("https://demo.connectrpc.com")
resp, err := client.ElizaService.Say(context.Background(), &elizav1.SayRequest{
	Sentence: "Hello",
})
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println("Response:", resp.Sentence)

And if you run the example:

go run ./examples/eliza

You should see the response from the Eliza service.

Response: Hello there...how are you today?
