This sample uses Orleans Streaming to build a basic chat application. In this application, each client can:
- Set their name
- Join and leave a channel
- Send and receive messages in that channel
- List the channel members
- Display the channel's chat history
Each chat channel has a corresponding ChannelGrain which is identified by the channel's name, and a stream which is identified by a Guid generated by that grain. Clients connect to the ChannelGrain for a channel and then subscribe to the stream identified by the Guid returned from the IChannelGrain.Join call.
First, start the server in one terminal window by executing the following:
dotnet run --project .\ChatRoom.Service\Then, once the server has started, open one or more terminal windows and execute the following in each:
dotnet run --project .\ChatRoom.Client\The clients will print instructions to the terminal which tell you how to interact with the sample.
