This is a Rust gRPC client for Vitess. It is generated from the Vitess proto files using
[tonic](https://github.com/hyperium/tonic).
## Usage
To use this crate, add the following to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
vitess-grpc = "0.3"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
```
## Example
You can find an example of how to use this crate in the [examples](vitess-grpc/examples) directory.
Examples can be run with:
```shell
cargo run --example <example_name>
```
Available examples are:
* [vstream-consumer](vitess-grpc/examples/vstream.rs): A simple vstream consumer, which prints the events it receives.
Before running the examples, you will need to start Vitess locally. An easy way to do this is to use the `scripts/start-vttestserver` script, which will start a local Vitess cluster in Docker (or Podman) and configure a simple schema inside you can use for testing.
## Versioning
The version of the crate is independent of the version of Vitess, but contains a build metadata portion (see [SemVer documentation](https://semver.org/#spec-item-10) for details) that is set to the Vitess version the crate was generated from. For example, the version `0.3.0+vitess18.0.0` means that the crate was generated from the proto files included in Vitess v18.0.0.
