The return value of type ClientReadableStream was wrong previously. And has been fixed in this version. Please be careful to update your code. See detail: PR#30.

v2.2.0

Fix definition changes according to the version change of grpc official TypeScript definition, see: index.d.ts@1.9.0.
Detailed changes could be found here: PR#14.

v2.0.0

Since v2.x.x, current project supports the official definition of grpc, see: index.d.ts@1.8.4.
Though the usage of tool, and generated codes shall not been changed, it's good to be double checked in your project when upgrade.

TSLint has been disabled in generated files. Please see the conversation: #13.

Note

~~This tools is using an unofficial grpc.d.ts definition, see: grpc-tsd.~~
~~If you want to use this tool, you have to use definition mentioned.~~

How to use

npm install grpc_tools_node_protoc_ts --save-dev

# generate js codes via grpc-tools
grpc_tools_node_protoc \
--js_out=import_style=commonjs,binary:./your_dest_dir \
--grpc_out=./your_dest_dir \
--plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_tools_node_protoc_plugin` \
-I ./proto \
./your_proto_dir/*.proto

# generate d.ts codes

Sample

There is a complete & runnable sample in folder examples.

Dirs:

proto: sample proto definition
bash: useful commands
- build.sh: build js & d.ts codes from proto file, and tsc to build/*.js
- server.sh: start the sample server
- client.sh: start the client & send requests

About jstype options of protobuf

JavaScript can safely handle numbers below Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. Beyond the limit, it begins to overflow:

> 90071992547409912131 + 1
90071992547409920000

If you are expecting large, 64bit fields consider using a jstype option to override the field type.

# example.proto
message Example {
  fixed64 id = 1 [jstype = JS_STRING];
}

// example_pb.d.ts
export namespace Example {
    export type AsObject = {
        id: string
    }
}

Changes

2.5.0

Add support for [jstype = JS_STRING] overrides. See: PR#37.

2.4.2

Update grpc version in package.json of examples, to keep consistent. Update handlebars-helpers version to 0.10.0 to fix vulnerability version of randomatic.

2.4.1

Use gRPC-native ServiceError objects for errbacks in client methods. See: PR#33.

2.4.0

Fix(ClientReadableStream): Fixes return type generic argument of. See: PR#30.

2.3.2

Fix code generation error when there is no package defined in proto file. See: PR#28.

2.3.1

Fix an Enum case bug. See: Issue#25 & PR#26.

2.3.0

Add a new server implementation interface signature, with this the server implementation could be verified. See: Issue#22. And please also check the new example using this new feature: link.

2.2.5

Fix issue of reversed JavaScript keyword code generation. See: Issue#20 & PR#21.

2.2.4

Fix issue of conflicted I{$MethodName} name, see: Issue#19.

2.2.3

Fix definitions. fix: add missing argument grpc.Client~CallOptions for requests
