About

Using grpc-web from typescript should be simpler than it is. The compiled data structures and types can make it hard to get started.

This package compiles additional types and mappers that you can use on top of grpc-web to simplify the way you interact with it in your application.

Protoc Usage

First make sure that you have a grpc-simple-ts executable installed:

go get -v -ldflags="-s -w" \
		github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go \
		github.com/tomwright/grpc-simple-ts/cmd/protoc-gen-simple-ts@${GO_VERSION_LOCK_SIMPLE_TS} \
		2>&1

And then use --simple-ts_out=./out to activate the plugin.

Please note that values of simple-ts_out, grpc-web_out and js_out should match otherwise the generated code may include invalid paths.

protoc \
		--js_out="import_style=commonjs,binary:./out" \
		--grpc-web_out="import_style=commonjs+dts,mode=grpcwebtext:./out" \
		--simple-ts_out="./out" \
		my.proto
