@telidoo/grpc-lib

A wrapper around grpc to make using it more comfrotable. Based on grpc-kit with extra features like promisified client requests.

Usage

Install:

npm install @telidoo/grpc-lib grpc @grpc/proto-loader

Proto:

syntax = "proto3";

package greeter;

service Greeter {
  rpc Hello(RequestGreet) returns (ResponseGreet);
}

message RequestGreet {
  string name = 1;
}

message ResponseGreet {
  string message = 1;
}

Server:

const { createServer } = require("@telidoo/grpc-lib");
const server = createServer();

server.use({
  protoPath: "./protos/greeter.proto",
  packageName: "greeter",
  serviceName: "Greeter",
  routes: {
    hello: async (call) => {
      return { message: `Hello, ${call.request.name}` };
    }
  },
  options: {}
});
server.listen("0.0.0.0:3333");

Client:

const { createClient } = require("@telidoo/grpc-lib");
const client = createClient({
  protoPath: "./protos/greeter.proto",
  packageName: "greeter",
  serviceName: "Greeter",
  options: {}
}, "localhost:3333");

(async () => {
  const { message } = await client.hello({ name: "Jack" });
  console.log(message);
})();

The options are for the protobuf loader, documentation can be seen here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/tree/master/packages/proto-loader
