gRPC Proxy is a library that provides a generic proxy implementation for gRPC services. It allows you to intercept and modify incoming gRPC requests and outgoing responses, enabling you to add cross-cutting concerns such as logging, authentication, authorization, and more.
- Generic proxy implementation for gRPC services
- Intercepts incoming requests and outgoing responses
- Supports modifying requests and responses through proxy dispatchers
- Provides flexibility to add cross-cutting concerns to gRPC services
- Compatible with any gRPC service definition
To use gRPC Proxy, follow these steps:
- Define your gRPC service interface.
- Create a list of proxy dispatchers that implement the
IProxyDispatcher<TRequest, TResponse>
interface. - Instantiate the
GenericGrpcProxy<TService, TRequest, TResponse>
class. - Add your proxy dispatchers using the
AddDispatchers
method. - Use the
Dispatch
method of the proxy instance to handle incoming gRPC requests.
Here's an example of using the gRPC Proxy with a gRPC client:
// Create a gRPC channel and client
var channel = GrpcChannel.ForAddress("https://localhost:5001");
var client = new Greeter.GreeterClient(channel);
// Create a list of proxy dispatchers
var dispatchers = new List<IProxyDispatcher<Method<HelloRequest, HelloReply>, HelloReply>>();
// Add your custom proxy dispatchers to the list
// Instantiate the GenericGrpcProxy
var proxy = new GenericGrpcProxy<Greeter.GreeterClient, HelloRequest, HelloReply>();
// Add the proxy dispatchers to the proxy instance
proxy.AddDispatchers(dispatchers);
// Make a gRPC request through the proxy
var request = new HelloRequest { Name = "Alice" };
var reply = await proxy.Dispatch(Method<HelloRequest, HelloReply>.Create(call => client.SayHelloAsync(call.Request, call.Headers, call.CancellationToken)), request, context);
// Process the response
Console.WriteLine(reply.Message);
You can have a look web api sample for Client.
