How To

1. install

pip install grpc-proto-validator

2. copy validator.proto to your project proto path and do protoc.(TODO a cli help to copy or build proto.)

The validator.proto is included in this package, you can find it in python site-packages path.

A example on how to generate the grpc files:

$ python -m grpc_tools.protoc \
  --proto_path={/path/to/validator/proto} \
  --proto_path={/path/to/your/project/proto} \
  --python_out={/path/to/project/src} \
  --grpc_python_out={/path/to/project/src} \
  path/to/your.proto

3. change your service and *_pb2 code.

To avoid protobuf import error, change one line in the generated python file(like hello_bro_pb2.py).

from:

import validator_pb2 as validator__pb2

to:

import grpc_proto_validator.validator_pb2 as validator__pb2.

Then create service with validator:

import six
from grpc_validator.validator import ValidateMetaclass

class YourService(six.with_metaclass(ValidateMetaclass,
                         YourService_pb2_grpc.YourServiceServer)):

    def behaviour1(self, request, context)
        ...

Also, you can select individual service handler to do the field check:

from grpc_validator.validator import validator_wrap


class YourService(YourService_pb2_grpc.YourServiceServer):

    def behaviour(self, request, context):
        """request will not be validated."""
        ...

    @validator_wrap
    def behaviour2(self, request, context):
        ...

Notice

Someone has used go-proto-validator before will notice that I almost reuse its proto file which make it easier to co-work with our golang service team.

But please don’t mix these two proto files. !!!THEY ARE NOT IN COMMON USE!!!

Any help or idea is favourably receive. Please just make a issue.
