How to get method name from request proto

[hersentino]

I'm trying to make working gprc-web-dev-tools with ts-proto and @improbable-eng/grpc-web. It almost works but to get this working completly I have to get every service method name, and I don't know how to do it. I search in generated proto but I found nothing. Is someone know how to do it ?

@hersentino it's a little adhoc, but you could do something like Object.keys( DashAPICredsClientImpl) using the class:

https://github.com/stephenh/ts-proto/blob/16b4aca98aa9f0266734421314baaa5259e3f4e2/integration/grpc-web/example.ts#L814

If you need something more automatic, there is a outputTypeRegistry flag that currently only does message types, but you could extend it to also include service defs in the output...

Or grpc-web output already includes these "kinda metadata" "Desc"/descriptor consts:

export const DashStateDesc = {
  serviceName: 'rpx.DashState',
};

export const DashStateUserSettingsDesc: UnaryMethodDefinitionish = {
  methodName: 'UserSettings',
  service: DashStateDesc,
  requestStream: false,
  responseStream: false,
  requestType: {

But the service desc isn't updated to have a list of the method descriptors...that shouldn't be hard to do.
