GRPC web client with angular 6

I have worked with grpc .net client and a grpc server created with java, how can i implement grpc web client on angular 6 with typescript? Also how can i create proto files and it's typing's for typescript? I am following this repo but not able to generate proto files.

Solution

  • After spending sometime i was able to create proto files for typescript by following steps:

    1. Download protobuf for windows from this link. After extracting files set the path variable for protoc.exe
    2. install npm packages npm install google-protobuf @types/google-protobuf grpc-web-client ts-protoc-gen --save
    3. After installing it generate the typescript files by using the command: protoc --plugin="protoc-gen-ts=absolute-path-to-your-project\node_modules\.bin\protoc-gen-ts.cmd" --js_out="import_style=commonjs,binary:${OUT_DIR}" --ts_out="service=true:${OUT_DIR}" your.proto
    4. Finally consume it like as mentioned in this repo.
