Implement Reflection

[stephen-dahl]

Hi, good work with this so far!

Mali should support reflection once it is implemented in the core lib https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/server-reflection.md https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/2568

Or sooner if you dont need them :)

Yes this would be useful, and will implement once it's in the core grpc library.

Has this been implemented yet ? @bojand

Hello, thank you for inquiring about this issue. This is not implemented yet as the core grpc Node.js module does not support reflection yet.

Does core actually need to support it first? Python and C++ have reflection as separate packages, and AIUI the js structures created either by dynamic or static should already have all the metadata (descriptors) needed by reflection. The ticket in the core lib mentions it can be done as a separate library.

Bonus: that means Mali can probably also have it as an optional add-on mali-reflection, so you only get it if you specifically want it.

Any there any new update on this issue?

It seems that Reflection can be implemented without support in core grpc library https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/issues/79#issuecomment-491699115
