Deno 2 is finally here 🎉️

/x/grpc_basic

You probably should wait for more mature and standard aligned implementation beacuse:

  1. This lib doesn’t use Deno’s 1.9 HTTP/2 native bindings, but relies on JS implementation roughly ported from node-http2
  2. I’m not an expert in gRPC or HTTP/2, I just moved HTTP/2 frames around until it worked
  3. It was never meant for production use, only for fun and some integration tests and scripts
  4. I have no plans on implementing full gRPC spec

goals - keep it simple

  • load proto files
  • server unary calls
  • client unary calls
  • errors
  • server server streams
  • client server streams
  • context deadlines
  • calls metadata
  • logging

todo

  • remove all deno/node compatibility (Buffer, stream.Transform, etc)
  • acquire more knowledge about http2 frames

maybe goals

  • *.d.ts client/service codegen
  • builtin retries

non goals - gRPC bloat

  • no TLS
  • no client streams
  • no bidirectional streams
  • no load balancers
  • no interceptors (revisit this later)
