# Example Javascript Client Using Generated GRPC API

This sample script utilizes `@grpc/proto-loader` to dynamically load `.proto`
files at runtime, and `@grpc/grpc-js` to implement gRPC functionality for Node.js.

## Prerequisites

Node 12+ is recommended

## Usage
Clone the [triton-inference-server/common](https://github.com/triton-inference-server/common/)
repository:

```
git clone https://github.com/triton-inference-server/common/ -b <common-repo-branch> common-repo
```

\<common-repo-branch\> should be the version of the Triton server that you
intend to use (e.g. r21.05).

Copy __*.proto__ files to `./proto`

```
mkdir proto
cp common-repo/protobuf/*.proto ./proto/
```

Install dependencies with

```
npm install
```

Finally, run with

```
node client.js <host> <port>
```

- `host` is the server where triton inference server is running. Default is `localhost`.
- `port` is the grpc port of triton inference server. Default is `8001`.
