I am implementing a simple client-server grpc-c++ based application. In the Hello rpc, I am taking the request and sending the fields of another message called SeverInfo as response. The problem is I exactly don't know how to send this ServerInfo data to a client from server side. We basically use set_fieldname(ex: set_name) for general datatypes to send the data but how should we send this serverInfo data to HelloResponse and then to HelloRequest. Can somebody please help me??
Below I am attaching the proto file.
syntax = "proto3";
package sample;
service Sample {
rpc Hello(HelloRequest) returns (HelloReply){}
}
message HelloRequest {
string name = 1;
}
message HelloReply {
ServerInfo sinfo = 1;
}
message ServerInfo {
string name = 1;
string os = 2;
}
Here is the answer that worked for me. Thank you.
ServerInfo* serverinfo=new ServerInfo();
serverinfo->set_name("");
serverinfo->set_os("");
HelloReply* rep;
rep->set_allocated_server(serverinfo);
