To set a timeout for each gRPC client call in Golang, you can use the context.WithTimeout() function to create a new context with a specific timeout duration.
Here’s an example of setting a timeout for a gRPC client call:
package mainimport ("context""log""time""google.golang.org/grpc"pb "path/to/your/proto/package" // Import your generated proto package)func main() {conn, err := grpc.Dial("localhost:50051", grpc.WithInsecure())if err != nil {log.Fatalf("Failed to connect: %v", err)}defer conn.Close()client := pb.NewYourServiceClient(conn)// Set timeout for this specific call to 5 secondsctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)defer cancel()resp, err := client.YourMethod(ctx, &pb.YourRequest{})if err != nil {log.Fatalf("Failed to call YourMethod: %v", err)}log.Printf("Response: %v", resp)}
In this example, we create a new context with a timeout of 5 seconds using context.WithTimeout(). We then pass this context to our gRPC client method YourMethod() as the first argument. If the gRPC call takes longer than 5 seconds, the context will be cancelled and the call will return with a deadline exceeded error.
