| 1 | +# Protoc Tools gRPC Web Plugin |
| 2 | +**Protoc gRPC web generator plugin for @accility/protoc-tools ([NPM](https://npmjs.com/package/accility/protoc-tools) | [GitHub](https://github.com/accility/protoc-tools))** |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This package downloads and utilizes the [gRPC Web](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web) ([protoc-gen-grpc-web](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/releases)) plugin from the [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc) project on post-install. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +[protoc-gen-grpc-web](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/releases) is a plugin and can be used with [@accility/protoc-tools](https://github.com/accility/protoc-tools) directly. But protoc-gen-grpc-web is a binary and needs to be installed for respectively operating system, which this plugin does on post-install **and** needs to be executed in PATH, which this plugin adds the binary directory to the process enviroment PATH variable. |

| 8 | +## Usage |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +```javascript |
| 11 | +import * as tools from '@accility/protoc-tools' |
| 12 | +import * as gRPCWeb from '../dist/plugin' |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +// OR |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +const tools = require('@accility/protoc-tools') |
| 17 | +const gRPCWeb = require('../dist/plugin') |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +tools.protoc({ |
| 20 | + ... |
| 21 | + outOptions: [ |
| 22 | + gRPCWeb({ |
| 23 | + module: 'commonjs', // 'closure' | 'commonjs' | 'commonjs+dts' | 'typescript' |
| 24 | + // mode: 'grpcwebtext' | 'grpcweb' |
| 25 | + }) |
| 26 | + ] |
| 27 | +}) |
| 28 | +``` |

| 30 | +### Module |
| 31 | +Import style (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web#import-style) |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- `closure` - the default generated code has Closure `goog.require()` import style. |
| 34 | +- `commonjs` - the CommonJS style `require()` is also supported. |
| 35 | +- `commonjs+dts` - (experimental) in addition to above, a .d.ts typings file will also be generated for the protobufssages and service stub. |
| 36 | +- `typescript` - (experimental) the service stub will be generat |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### Mode |
| 39 | +Wire format mode (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web#wire-format-mode) |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +`grpcwebtext`: The default generated code sends the payload in the grpc-web-text format. |
| 42 | +- `Content-type: application/grpc-web-text` |
| 43 | +- Payload are base64-encoded. |
| 44 | +- Both unary and server streaming calls are supported. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +`grpcweb`: A binary protobuf format is also supported. |
| 47 | +- `Content-type: application/grpc-web+proto` |
| 48 | +- Payload are in the binary protobuf format. |
| 49 | +- Only unary calls are supported for now. |
