gRPC Reflection

gRPCity’s server speaks the gRPC Server Reflection Protocol, so tools like Postman or grpcurl can introspect your service over the wire without a local copy of the .proto files.

Usage

Build a reflection service from the loader and inject it into the server:

const server = await loader.initServer()
 
const reflection  = await loader.initReflection()
server.inject(reflection)

Unary Call

We use the example/reflection/helloworldServer.js in gRPCity as an example of a Unary Call.

node example/reflection/helloworldServer.js
start: localhost:9098

After the service starts, you can use Postman for integration testing, as demonstrated below:

Async Stream

We use the example/reflection/asyncStreamServer.js in gRPCity as an example of an Async Stream.

node example/reflection/asyncStreamServer.js
start: localhost:9097

After the service starts, you can use Postman for integration testing, as demonstrated below:

Client Stream

Server Stream

Bidi Stream
