How to use protobuf.js in a browser with gRPC?

[ben-xD]

In the README, we have a section with using gRPC

• the example uses a deprecated package grpc which has been replaced with @grpc/grpc-js. Both packages appear to be for Node only, not browsers.
• Because we use it in a browser, we probably need to use grpc-web. Not grpc-web NPM package, but the specification.

Is there a way to use protobuf.js on browsers whilst using grpc? Or does someone need to use grpc-web and avoid protobufjs completely?

This was also requested and upvoted by others in this comment: https://github.com/protobufjs/protobuf.js/issues/1035#issuecomment-385709878

Thanks for reading

For a out of the box working solution you should rather look at protobuf-ts with its https://github.com/timostamm/protobuf-ts/blob/master/MANUAL.md#grpc-web-transport
