letmegrpc generates a web form gui from a grpc definition.
Installation
cd $GOPATH
mkdir -p ./src/github.com/gogo/letmegrpc
git clone https://github.com/gogo/letmegrpc ./src/github.com/gogo/letmegrpc
git clone https://github.com/gogo/protobuf ./src/github.com/gogo/protobuf
go get github.com/gogo/pbparser
go get google.golang.org/grpc
go get golang.org/x/net/context
(cd ./src/github.com/gogo/letmegrpc && make install)
Usage
Assuming you have a grpc server implementation running on your localhost on port 12345
letmegrpc --addr=localhost:12345 --port=8080 grpc.proto
Now open your webbrowser and goto
http://localhost:8080/ServiceName/MethodName
Here you will find a generated html web form.
Clicking Submit will send your newly populated message to your grpc server implementation and display the results.
Example
(cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gogo/letmegrpc && make install)
letmetestserver --port=12345 &
(cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gogo/letmegrpc/testcmd && letmegrpc --addr=localhost:12345 --port=8080 serve.proto
Open your webbrowser at
http://localhost:8080/Label/Produce
More Features
- Comments that are attached to fields become tooltips.
- proto2 defaults are filled into the the clean form.
Customization
letmegrpc is just another protocol buffer code generation plugin.
Simply run:
protoc --gogo_out=. grpc.proto
protoc --letmegrpc_out=. grpc.proto
Now you can have the html generated code next to your generated message code.
It contains a:
- The Serve function that is used to start the server.
- SetHtmlStringer function that lets you customize your html output for each returned message, this is json by default. This might be useful to return more links and create an explorable web site.
