quickgrpc 0.1.3

quickgrpc lib library

QuickGrpc-py

This is a simple framework to help your kickstart your grpc service development in python, and to publish the same for someone to invoke...

Let's go

Here's the proto file

syntax = "proto3";

service Greet{
    rpc hi(Inp) returns (Out);
    rpc bye(Inp) returns (Out);
}

message Inp{
  string name = 1;
}

message Out{
  string text = 1;
}

Here's what a day to day workflow should look like.

~/Desktop via py v3.11.6 (base)
> tree
.
└── rpc
    └── greet.proto

2 directories, 1 file

~/Desktop via py v3.11.6 (base)
> cd rpc/

~/Desktop/rpc via py v3.11.6 (base)
> create_grpc_service -f greet.proto -c yes
path: greet.proto
pb_path: /home/ashu/venvs/base/lib/python3.11/site-packages/grpc_assets/greet

]

Adding method: hi
Adding method: bye

This generates, two things... one service class and a test case, like so...

service

from grpc_assets.greet import greet_pb2
from grpc_assets.greet.greet_pb2_grpc import GreetServicer

"""
Proto
syntax = "proto3";

service Greet{
    rpc hi(Inp) returns (Out);
    rpc bye(Inp) returns (Out);
}

message Inp{
  string name = 1;
}

message Out{
  string text = 1;
}

"""


class GreetService(GreetServicer):
    def hi(self, context):
        """
        # TODO: add inputs as per proto
        # TODO: add logic and return output as per proto
        """
        return

    def bye(self, context):
        """
        # TODO: add inputs as per proto
        # TODO: add logic and return output as per proto
        """
        return

testcase

from grpc_assets.stub import get_stub
import grpc_assets.greet.greet_pb2 as pb2
from unittest import TestCase


"""
Proto
syntax = "proto3";

service Greet{
    rpc hi(Inp) returns (Out);
    rpc bye(Inp) returns (Out);
}

message Inp{
  string name = 1;
}

message Out{
  string text = 1;
}

"""


class GreetClientTestCase(TestCase):
    stub = get_stub("greet")

    def test_hi(self):
        # stub.<your rpc method>(pb2.<your proto message>(params))
        ...

    def test_bye(self):
        # stub.<your rpc method>(pb2.<your proto message>(params))
        ...

Then all I have to do is implement the methods...

Service

class GreetService(GreetServicer):
    def hi(self, inp, context):
        print(f"req: {inp}")
        return greet_pb2.Out(text=f"Hi {inp.name}")

    def bye(self, inp, context):
        print(f"req: {inp}")
        return greet_pb2.Out(text=f"Bye {inp.name}")

Testcase

class GreetClientTestCase(TestCase):
    stub = get_stub("greet")

    def test_hi(self):
        print(self.stub.hi(pb2.Inp(name="Ashu")))

    def test_bye(self):
        print(self.stub.bye(pb2.Inp(name="Ashu")))

That's it, then I should be able to call the service like so...

server

~/Desktop via py v3.11.6 (base)
x export GRPC_PORT=50001

OK

Note, here, I'm storing the protoc generated pb2 files under a package called grpc_assets under site-packages. Also, there's one catch, the code gen logic I wrote has one retriction, proto file name needs to match the main service name, which limits the number of services to 1.

This can always be improved upon.
