| 9 | +## Part 1. Install the CLI Tool |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Volo provides CLI tools of the same name for initializing projects, managing IDLs, and more. To install Volo tool, you need to switch to `nightly` channel and run the following command: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +```bash |
| 14 | +rustup default nightly |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | +```bash |
| 17 | +cargo install volo-cli |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Then run: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```bash |
| 23 | +volo help |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +You should see something like the following: |
| 27 | +```bash |
| 28 | +USAGE: |
| 29 | + volo [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND> |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +OPTIONS: |
| 32 | + -h, --help Print help information |
| 33 | + -n, --entry-name <ENTRY_NAME> The entry name, defaults to 'default'. [default: default] |
| 34 | + -v, --verbose Turn on the verbose mode. |
| 35 | + -V, --version Print version information |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +SUBCOMMANDS: |
| 38 | + help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) |
| 39 | + idl manage your idl |
| 40 | + init init your project |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Part 2. Create a gRPC Server |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Volo-gRPC is an RPC framework so that the bottom layer requires two major functions: Serialization and Transport. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +IDL is short for `Interface Definition Language`. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### 2.1 Why IDL |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +If we want to do RPC, we need to know what interface is for the server, what parameters to pass, and what the return value is, |
| 52 | +just like two people talking to each other, we need to make sure we are speaking the same language and doing the same thing. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +At this time, we need to use IDL to specify the protocol for both sides, just like when writing code, we need to know the function signature while calling a function. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Protobuf IDL is a full-stack RPC solution for cross-language, the specific syntax can be seen in [protocol-buffers/docs/proto3](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3). |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### 2.2 Write IDL |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +To create a gRPC project, we need to write a protobuf IDL at first. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +In your working directory, execute the following command: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +```bash |
| 65 | +mkdir volo-example && cd volo-example |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | +```bash |
| 68 | +mkdir idl && vim idl/volo_example.proto |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Then, enter the following content: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```protobuf |
| 74 | +syntax = "proto3"; |
| 75 | +package volo.example; |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | +message Item { |
| 78 | + int64 id = 1; |
| 79 | + string title = 2; |
| 80 | + string content = 3; |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | + map<string, string> extra = 10; |
| 83 | +} |
| 84 | +
|
| 85 | +message GetItemRequest { |
| 86 | + int64 id = 1; |
| 87 | +} |
| 88 | +
|
| 89 | +message GetItemResponse { |
| 90 | + Item item = 1; |
| 91 | +} |
| 92 | +
|
| 93 | +service ItemService { |
| 94 | + rpc GetItem(GetItemRequest) returns (GetItemResponse); |
| 95 | +} |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +After saving and exiting, we execute the following command: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +```bash |
| 101 | +volo init --includes=idl volo-example idl/volo_example.proto |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +**Here we use the `init` command, followed by the name of our project, which means we need to generate template code. At the end, you need to specify an IDL used by the server.** |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +If you only need to add an IDL (such as the client IDL) without generating a template, do as follows: |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```bash |
| 109 | +volo idl add idl/volo_example.proto |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +| What's more, the volo tool also supports downloading IDL from git and then generating code, such as: |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +```bash |
| 115 | +volo idl add -g [email protected]:org/repo.git -r main /path/to/your/idl.proto |
| 116 | +``` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +| You may directly enter volo to see the detailed usage ~ next back to the topic ~ |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +At this point, our entire directory structure looks like this: |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +```bash |
| 123 | +. |
| 124 | +├── Cargo.toml |
| 125 | +├── idl |
| 126 | +│ └── volo_example.proto |
| 127 | +├── rust-toolchain.toml |
| 128 | +├── src |
| 129 | +│ ├── bin |
| 130 | +│ │ └── server.rs |
| 131 | +│ └── lib.rs |
| 132 | +└── volo-gen |
| 133 | + ├── Cargo.toml |
| 134 | + ├── build.rs |
| 135 | + ├── src |
| 136 | + │ └── lib.rs |
| 137 | + └── volo.yml |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +Then we open `src/lib.rs` and add the method implementation to the `impl` block. The resulting code should look like this: |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +```rust |
| 143 | +pub struct S; |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +impl volo_gen::volo::example::ItemService for S { |
| 146 | + // This is the part of the code we need to add |
| 147 | + async fn get_item( |
| 148 | + &self, |
| 149 | + _req: volo_grpc::Request<volo_gen::volo::example::GetItemRequest>, |
| 150 | + ) -> core::result::Result<volo_grpc::Response<volo_gen::volo::example::GetItemResponse>, volo_grpc::Status> |
| 151 | + { |
| 152 | + Ok(volo_grpc::Response::new(Default::default())) |
| 153 | + } |
| 154 | +} |
| 155 | +``` |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +Then execute: |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +```bash |
| 160 | +cargo update && cargo build |
| 161 | +``` |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +At this point, You will find `volo_gen.rs` file under [OUT_DIR Directory](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html#environment-variables-cargo-sets-for-build-scripts). |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +Then execute the following command to get our server running: |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +```bash |
| 168 | +cargo run --bin server |
| 169 | +``` |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +At this point, we have our server running! |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +## Part 3. Create a Client |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +In the previous section, we wrote a server, now let's write a client and call the server. |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +First, create a file called `src/bin/client.rs` and type the following: |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +```rust |
| 180 | +use lazy_static::lazy_static; |
| 181 | +use std::net::SocketAddr; |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +lazy_static! { |
| 184 | + static ref CLIENT: volo_gen::volo::example::ItemServiceClient = { |
| 185 | + let addr: SocketAddr = "[::1]:8080".parse().unwrap(); |
| 186 | + volo_gen::volo::example::ItemServiceClientBuilder::new("volo-example") |
| 187 | + .address(addr) |
| 188 | + .build() |
| 189 | + }; |
| 190 | +} |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +#[volo::main] |
| 193 | +async fn main() { |
| 194 | + tracing_subscriber::fmt::init(); |
| 195 | + let req = volo_gen::volo::example::GetItemRequest { id: 1024 }; |
| 196 | + let resp = CLIENT.get_item(req).await; |
| 197 | + match resp { |
| 198 | + Ok(info) => tracing::info!("{:?}", info), |
| 199 | + Err(e) => tracing::error!("{:?}", e), |
| 200 | + } |
| 201 | +} |
| 202 | +``` |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +Then add the required dependencies to the `Cargo.toml` file, which looks like this: |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +```toml |
| 207 | +[package] |
| 208 | +name = "volo-example" |
| 209 | +version = "0.1.0" |
| 210 | +edition = "2021" |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +[dependencies] |
| 215 | +anyhow = "1" |
| 216 | +async-trait = "0.1" |
| 217 | +lazy_static = "1" |
| 218 | +tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] } |
| 219 | +tracing = "0.1" |
| 220 | +prost = "0.11" |
| 221 | +tracing-subscriber = "0.3" |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +pilota = "*" |
| 224 | +volo = "*" # we recommend to use the latest framework version for new features and bug fixes |
| 225 | +volo-grpc = "*" # we recommend to use the latest framework version for new features and bug fixes |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +volo-gen = { path = "./volo-gen" } |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +[profile.release] |
| 230 | +opt-level = 3 |
| 231 | +debug = true |
| 232 | +debug-assertions = false |
| 233 | +overflow-checks = false |
| 234 | +lto = true |
| 235 | +panic = 'unwind' |
| 236 | +incremental = false |
| 237 | +codegen-units = 1 |
| 238 | +rpath = false |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +[workspace] |
| 241 | +members = ["volo-gen"] |
| 242 | +resolver = "2" |
| 243 | +``` |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +Then, **create a new terminal** and run the following command to start our server: |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +```bash |
| 248 | +cargo run --bin server |
| 249 | +``` |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +Finally, we go back to the current directory and execute the following command, and we can see that the execution is successful: |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +```bash |
| 254 | +cargo run --bin client |
| 255 | +``` |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +## Part 4. Add a Middleware |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +Next, let's look at how to add middleware to Volo. |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +For example, if we need a middleware that prints out the received requests, the returned responses and the elapsed time, we could write a Service in `lib.rs`: |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +```rust |
| 264 | +#[derive(Clone)] |
| 265 | +pub struct LogService<S>(S); |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +#[volo::service] |
| 268 | +impl<Cx, Req, S> volo::Service<Cx, Req> for LogService<S> |
| 269 | +where |
| 270 | + Req: Send + 'static, |
| 271 | + S: Send + 'static + volo::Service<Cx, Req> + Sync, |
| 272 | + Cx: Send + 'static, |
| 273 | +{ |
| 274 | + async fn call(&self, cx: &mut Cx, req: Req) -> Result<S::Response, S::Error> { |
| 275 | + let now = std::time::Instant::now(); |
| 276 | + let resp = self.0.call(cx, req).await; |
| 277 | + tracing::info!("Request took {}ms", now.elapsed().as_millis()); |
| 278 | + resp |
| 279 | + } |
| 280 | +} |
| 281 | +``` |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +Then we wrap a Layer around the Service: |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | +```rust |
| 286 | +pub struct LogLayer; |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +impl<S> volo::Layer<S> for LogLayer { |
| 289 | + type Service = LogService<S>; |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | + fn layer(self, inner: S) -> Self::Service { |
| 292 | + LogService(inner) |
| 293 | + } |
| 294 | +} |
| 295 | +``` |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +Finally, we add this Layer to client and server: |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +```rust |
| 300 | +use volo_example::LogLayer; |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +// client.rs |
| 303 | +static ref CLIENT: volo_gen::volo::example::ItemServiceClient = { |
| 304 | + let addr: SocketAddr = "[::1]:8080".parse().unwrap(); |
| 305 | + volo_gen::volo::example::ItemServiceClientBuilder::new("volo-example") |
| 306 | + .layer_outer(LogLayer) |
| 307 | + .address(addr) |
| 308 | + .build() |
| 309 | +}; |
| 310 | + |
| 311 | +// server.rs |
| 312 | +Server::new() |
| 313 | + .add_service(ServiceBuilder::new(volo_gen::volo::example::ItemServiceServer::new(S)).build()) |
| 314 | + .layer_front(LogLayer) |
| 315 | + .run(addr) |
| 316 | + .await |
| 317 | + .unwrap(); |
| 318 | +``` |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | +At this point, it prints out how long the request took at the INFO log level. |
| 321 | + |
| 322 | +## Part 5. What's Next? |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +Congratulations, you've read this far! At this point, we've basically learned how to use Volo, and we're ready to use Volo to kick off our Rust journey |
| 325 | + |
| 326 | +Next, you may need to select the right components, put them together, and interface with your system. |
| 327 | + |
| 328 | +The related ecosystem maintained by Volo will be located in: https://github.com/volo-rs, we are working to build our ecosystem, and welcome everyone to join us ~ |
| 329 | + |
| 330 | +If there is a dire lack of components, you are welcomed to raise an issue in: https://github.com/cloudwego/volo, we will support it as soon as possible. |
| 331 | + |
| 332 | +In the meantime, welcome to join our Lark user group and share your experience with us about Volo. |
