Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@improbable-eng/grpc-web

Library for making gRPC-Web requests from a browser

This library is intended for both JavaScript and TypeScript usage from a web browser or NodeJS (see Usage with NodeJS).

Note: This only works if the server supports gRPC-Web

A Golang gRPC-Web middleware and a Golang-based gRPC-Web proxy are available here.

Please see the full gRPC-Web README for known limitations.

Installation

@improbable-eng/grpc-web has peer dependencies of google-protobuf and @types/google-protobuf.

npm install google-protobuf @types/google-protobuf @improbable-eng/grpc-web --save

Example Project

There is an example project available here

Usage Overview

import {grpc} from "@improbable-eng/grpc-web";

// Import code-generated data structures.
import {BookService} from "./generated/proto/examplecom/library/book_service_pb_service";
import {GetBookRequest} from "./generated/proto/examplecom/library/book_service_pb";

const getBookRequest = new GetBookRequest();
getBookRequest.setIsbn(60929871);
grpc.unary(BookService.GetBook, {
  request: getBookRequest,
  host: host,
  onEnd: res => {
    const { status, statusMessage, headers, message, trailers } = res;
    if (status === grpc.Code.OK && message) {
      console.log("all ok. got book: ", message.toObject());
    }
  }
});
  • Requests can be aborted/cancelled before they complete:
const request = grpc.unary(BookService.GetBook, { ... });
request.cancel();

Available Request Functions

There are three functions for making gRPC requests:

grpc.unary

This is a convenience function for making requests that consist of a single request message and single response message. It can only be used with unary methods.

rpc GetBook(GetBookRequest) returns (Book) {}

grpc.invoke

This is a convenience function for making requests that consist of a single request message and a stream of response messages (server-streaming). It can also be used with unary methods.

rpc GetBook(GetBookRequest) returns (Book) {}
rpc QueryBooks(QueryBooksRequest) returns (stream Book) {}

grpc.client

grpc.client returns a client. Dependant upon transport compatibility this client is capable of sending multiple request messages (client-streaming) and receiving multiple response messages (server-streaming). It can be used with any type of method, but will enforce limiting the sending of messages for unary methods.

rpc GetBook(GetBookRequest) returns (Book) {}
rpc QueryBooks(QueryBooksRequest) returns (stream Book) {}
rpc LogReadPages(stream PageRead) returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
rpc ListenForBooks(stream QueryBooksRequest) returns (stream Book) {}

Usage with NodeJS

Refer to grpc-web-node-http-transport.
