gRPC + REST Gateway Play

Experimentations around grpc-gateway

master branch A modified version of the grpc-gateway-example to have both HTTP and gRPC on the same port, without TLS. Server implementation is largely inspired from Zenithar/go-password.

gorilla-mux grpc-gateway-example modified to use gorilla/mux as HTTP handler for routes standing aside of grpc-gateway.

Installation & usage

To try it all out do this:

$ go get -u github.com/Stoakes/grpc-gateway-example
$ grpc-gateway-example serve
# In another terminal
$ grpc-gateway-example echo "my first rpc echo"
$ curl -X POST -k http://localhost:10000/v1/echo -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d '{"value": "foo"}'

Features

• A basic echo service returning value send as parameter. Available on port 10000, in both HTTP & GRPC, without TLS.
• A swagger description of the service at localhost:10000/swagger.json
• A swagger UI to interact with the REST API at localhost:10000/swagger-ui/

Huge thanks to the hard work people have put into the Go gRPC bindings and gRPC to JSON Gateway
