What is grpc-tools?

The grpc-tools npm package provides tools for working with gRPC, including compiling Protocol Buffers (protobuf) files and generating gRPC service code. It is particularly useful for setting up gRPC services and clients in Node.js applications.

What are grpc-tools's main functionalities?

Compile Protobuf Files

This feature allows you to compile Protocol Buffers (protobuf) files into JavaScript code. The generated code can then be used to create gRPC clients and servers.

const grpc_tools_node_protoc = require('grpc-tools');
const execSync = require('child_process').execSync;

execSync(
  'grpc_tools_node_protoc --js_out=import_style=commonjs,binary:. --grpc_out=. -I ./protos ./protos/helloworld.proto'
);

Generate gRPC Service Code

This feature generates the gRPC service code from protobuf definitions. The generated code includes both client and server stubs, which can be used to implement gRPC services.

const grpc_tools_node_protoc = require('grpc-tools');
const execSync = require('child_process').execSync;

execSync(
  'grpc_tools_node_protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_tools_node_protoc_plugin` --grpc_out=. -I ./protos ./protos/helloworld.proto'
);
