gRPC support

Open cpvandehey opened this issue 3 years ago • 9 comments

Would love to hear if there is a reasonable avenue for gRPC support. Postman released this feature a year back and its been a game changer for protobuf based apps. With that said Postman has gotten so heavy that I don't want to use it anymore if something lightweight like this exists.

Definitely. Since no one had requested the feature before, I did not prioritize it. I'll see what I can do. Will keep this issue open until it's implemented.

@flawiddsouza feel free to try cool-grpc gRPC client we've built for Step CI. Its goal is to be as easy as fetch API

Let me know if you need any help!

Hey @mishushakov. Thanks for the library recommendation. Will definitely check it out and see if I can use it for implementing gRPC support. By the way, Step CI is really cool.

I'd be happy to take a look at this feature request, just started using the REST client and I like it and GrPC support would be useful

@lbdl Please go ahead. I haven't had any time to come to this feature. One problem I foresee is that gRPC won't work on the web build. It can only work on desktop, docker and maybe using the chrome extension. The web build can probably only support gRPC-web. Limitation of the way gRPC is. It can't directly be used on the web.

Ok,I’ll start with the desktop one first Cheers \tOn 24 Jun 2023, at 07:13, flawiddsouza @.***> wrote: @lbdl Please go ahead. I haven't had any time to come to this feature.

I'll be starting work on the grpc feature soon. If anyone has any suggestions on how the ui should ideally look like, I'll be happy to know them.
