中文 README

This demo is used to help FE who is interested in thrift to get started with it.
You can think of it as a simple tutorial.

Basic architecture

Main file structure

-|
 |- client                 // Front end
 |                          
 |- middle                 // Middle layer
 |  
 |- server                 // Real backend
 |
 |- thrift -|              // Folder to store thrift
            |
            |- gen-nodejs  // Folder to store .js
            |
            |- .thrift     // Folder to store .thrift

 // Note:
  This article using node as a server development language,
  part of the code from the official website,
  and then may be simplified so that we better understand.

Front end frames or library will be used:

• client : vue ( Just want to have a try... )
• middle : koa ( Because it's a very lightweight Library )
• server : thrift ( Normally, Java or some other back-end language should be used, but for convenience, use ... )

How to run

• Firstly you should run the server by npm run server;
• Secondly you should run the node middle server by npm run middle;
• Lastly you can cd client and then npm run dev
• When you trigger event in client, you'll see the log in server terminal.
