| Use in C++ {#flatbuffers_grpc_guide_use_cpp} |
| ========== |
| |
| ## Before you get started |
| |
| Before diving into the FlatBuffers gRPC usage in C++, you should already be |
| familiar with the following: |
| |
| - FlatBuffers as a serialization format |
| - [gRPC](http://www.grpc.io/docs/) usage |
| |
| ## Using the FlatBuffers gRPC C++ library |
| |
| NOTE: The examples below are also in the `grpc/samples/greeter` directory. |
| |
| We will illustrate usage with the following schema: |
| |
| @include grpc/samples/greeter/greeter.fbs |
| |
| When we run `flatc`, we pass in the `--grpc` option and generage an additional |
| `greeter.grpc.fb.h` and `greeter.grpc.fb.cc`. |
| |
| Example server code looks like this: |
| |
| @include grpc/samples/greeter/server.cpp |
| |
| Example client code looks like this: |
| |
| @include grpc/samples/greeter/client.cpp |
