1 //! grpc-web protocol translation for [`tonic`] services.
2 //!
3 //! [`tonic_web`] enables tonic servers to handle requests from [grpc-web] clients directly,
4 //! without the need of an external proxy. It achieves this by wrapping individual tonic services
5 //! with a [tower] service that performs the translation between protocols and handles `cors`
6 //! requests.
7 //!
8 //! ## Enabling tonic services
9 //!
10 //! You can customize the CORS configuration composing the [`GrpcWebLayer`] with the cors layer of your choice.
11 //!
12 //! ```ignore
13 //! #[tokio::main]
14 //! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
15 //!     let addr = "[::1]:50051".parse().unwrap();
16 //!     let greeter = GreeterServer::new(MyGreeter::default());
17 //!
18 //!     Server::builder()
19 //!        .accept_http1(true)
20 //!        // This will apply the gRPC-Web translation layer
21 //!        .layer(GrpcWebLayer::new())
22 //!        .add_service(greeter)
23 //!        .serve(addr)
24 //!        .await?;
25 //!
26 //!    Ok(())
27 //! }
28 //! ```
29 //!
30 //! Alternatively, if you have a tls enabled server, you could skip setting `accept_http1` to `true`.
31 //! This works because the browser will handle `ALPN`.
32 //!
33 //! ```ignore
34 //! #[tokio::main]
35 //! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
36 //!     let cert = tokio::fs::read("server.pem").await?;
37 //!     let key = tokio::fs::read("server.key").await?;
38 //!     let identity = Identity::from_pem(cert, key);
39 //!
40 //!     let addr = "[::1]:50051".parse().unwrap();
41 //!     let greeter = GreeterServer::new(MyGreeter::default());
42 //!
43 //!     // No need to enable HTTP/1
44 //!     Server::builder()
45 //!        .tls_config(ServerTlsConfig::new().identity(identity))?
46 //!        .layer(GrpcWebLayer::new())
47 //!        .add_service(greeter)
48 //!        .serve(addr)
49 //!        .await?;
50 //!
51 //!    Ok(())
52 //! }
53 //! ```
54 //!
55 //! ## Limitations
56 //!
57 //! * `tonic_web` is designed to work with grpc-web-compliant clients only. It is not expected to
58 //!   handle arbitrary HTTP/x.x requests or bespoke protocols.
59 //! * Similarly, the cors support implemented  by this crate will *only* handle grpc-web and
60 //!   grpc-web preflight requests.
61 //! * Currently, grpc-web clients can only perform `unary` and `server-streaming` calls. These
62 //!   are the only requests this crate is designed to handle. Support for client and bi-directional
63 //!   streaming will be officially supported when clients do.
64 //! * There is no support for web socket transports.
