Inventory Example

This example shows the intended GoRPC shape:

• a server app with request/response types, handler registration, and a main
• a client app with matching request/response types, client-side notification handler registration, synchronous calls, asynchronous callbacks, and a main
• one long-lived TCP connection carrying typed unary calls and one-way notifications in both directions
• automatic client reconnect if that connection drops
• request metadata available through *gorpc.Context
• response metadata available through gorpc.ClientContext
• notification metadata available through *gorpc.Context

The registered function name is just the wire dispatch key; it does not have to match the local Go function name.

Build both commands:

go build ./examples/inventory/server
go build ./examples/inventory/client

Run the server:

go run ./examples/inventory/server

In another terminal, run the client:

go run ./examples/inventory/client

The client registers client_note before connecting. The server pushes that notification while handling get_an_item, then the client fetches widget-001 synchronously, fetches widget-async asynchronously, and intentionally requests missing-item so you can see a structured remote error come back.
