Advanced tools
Common data structures and types for
nice-grpc and nice-grpc-web.
If you are making a middleware library, consider depending on
nice-grpc-common, as it is considered more stable in terms of semver. Also,
this allows you to build an isomorphic client middleware (working on both
Node.js and the Browser).
For application code, use nice-grpc or nice-grpc-web directly. Both
re-export names from nice-grpc-common.
npm install nice-grpc-common
Metadata — represents
gRPC Metadata.Status — enum with
gRPC status codes.CallContext — call context passed to server
methods.ServerError.ServerMiddleware.composeServerMiddleware.CallOptions — call options accepted by client
methods.ClientError.ClientMiddleware.composeClientMiddleware.The grpc package is the official Node.js implementation of gRPC. It provides a comprehensive set of features for building gRPC services but has a more complex and less user-friendly API compared to nice-grpc-common.
@grpc/grpc-js is a pure JavaScript implementation of gRPC for Node.js. It offers similar functionality to the grpc package but is designed to be more compatible with modern JavaScript and TypeScript projects. It also has a more complex API compared to nice-grpc-common.
grpc-tools is a package that provides tools for working with gRPC in Node.js, including code generation from .proto files. It complements the grpc and @grpc/grpc-js packages but does not provide the same level of abstraction and ease of use as nice-grpc-common.
