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 🙏

grpc-dynamic-gateway

Build Status Greenkeeper badge

This will allow you to provide a REST-like JSON interface for your gRPC protobuf interface. grpc-gateway requires you to genrate a static version of your interface in go, then compile it. This will allow you to run a JSON proxy for your grpc server without generating/compiling.

  • Install with npm i -g grpc-dynamic-gateway
  • Start with grpc-dynamic-gateway DEFINITION.proto

You can see an example project here that shows how to use all the CLI tools, with no code other than your endpoint implementation.

cli

Usage: grpc-dynamic-gateway [options] DEFINITION.proto [DEFINITION2.proto...]

Options:
  -?, --help, -h    Show help                                          [boolean]
  --port, -p        The port to serve your JSON proxy on         [default: 8080]
  --grpc, -g        The host & port to connect to, where your gprc-server is
                    running                         [default: "localhost:50051"]
  -I, --include     Path to resolve imports from
  --ca              SSL CA cert for gRPC
  --key             SSL client key for gRPC
  --cert            SSL client certificate for gRPC
  --mountpoint, -m  URL to mount server on                        [default: "/"]
  --quiet, -q       Suppress logs                                      [boolean]

in code

You can use it in your code, too, as express/connect/etc middleware.

npm i -S grpc-dynamic-gateway

const grpcGateway = require('grpc-dynamic-gateway')
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')

const app = express()
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))

// load the proxy on / URL
app.use('/', grpcGateway(['api.proto'], '0.0.0.0:5051'))

const port = process.env.PORT || 8080
app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Listening on http://0.0.0.0:${port}`)
})

ssl

With SSL, you will need the Cert Authority certificate, client & server signed certificate and keys.

I generated/signed my demo keys like this:

openssl genrsa -passout pass:1111 -des3 -out ca.key 4096
openssl req -passin pass:1111 -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt -subj  "/C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland/O=Test/OU=CertAuthority/CN=localhost"
openssl genrsa -passout pass:1111 -des3 -out server.key 4096
openssl req -passin pass:1111 -new -key server.key -out server.csr -subj  "/C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland/O=Test/OU=Server/CN=localhost"
openssl x509 -req -passin pass:1111 -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out server.crt
openssl rsa -passin pass:1111 -in server.key -out server.key
openssl genrsa -passout pass:1111 -des3 -out client.key 4096
openssl req -passin pass:1111 -new -key client.key -out client.csr -subj "/C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland/O=Test/OU=Client/CN=localhost"
openssl x509 -passin pass:1111 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out client.crt
openssl rsa -passin pass:1111 -in client.key -out client.key

Then use it like this:

grpc-dynamic-gateway --ca=ca.crt --key=client.key --cert=client.crt api.proto

You can use SSL in code, like this:

const grpc = require('grpc')
const credentials = grpc.credentials.createSsl(
  fs.readFileSync(yourca),
  fs.readFileSync(yourkey),
  fs.readFileSync(yourcert)
)
app.use('/', grpcGateway(['api.proto'], '0.0.0.0:5051', credentials))

swagger

Protoc can generate a swagger description of your RPC endpoints, if you have protoc-gen-swagger installed:

protoc DEFINITION.proto --swagger_out=logtostderr=true:.

docker

There is one required port, and a volume that will make it easier:

  • /api.proto - your proto file
  • 8080 - the exposed port

There is also an optional environment variable: GRPC_HOST which should resolve to your grpc server (default 0.0.0.0:5051)

So to run it, try this:

docker run -v $(pwd)/your.proto:/api.proto -p 8080:8080 -e "GRPC_HOST=0.0.0.0:5051" -rm -it konsumer/grpc-dynamic-gateway

If you want to do something different, the exposed CMD is the same as grpc-dynamic-gateway CLI, above.
