The grpc-gateway is a plugin of the Google protocol buffers compiler
[protoc](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf).
It reads protobuf service definitions and generates a reverse-proxy server which
translates a RESTful HTTP API into gRPC. This server is generated according to the
[`google.api.http`](https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/api/http.proto#L46)
annotations in your service definitions.

This helps you provide your APIs in both gRPC and RESTful style at the same time.

## Testimonials

> We use the gRPC-Gateway to serve millions of API requests per day,
   and have been since 2018, and through all of that,
   we have never had any issues with it.

## Check out our [documentation](https://grpc-ecosystem.github.io/grpc-gateway/)!

## Background
gRPC is great -- it generates API clients and server stubs in many programming
languages, it is fast, easy-to-use, bandwidth-efficient and its design is
combat-proven by Google. However, you might still want to provide a traditional
RESTful JSON API as well. Reasons can range from maintaining
backward-compatibility, supporting languages or clients that are not well supported by
gRPC, to simply maintaining the aesthetics and tooling involved with a RESTful
JSON architecture.

This project aims to provide that HTTP+JSON interface to your gRPC service.
A small amount of configuration in your service to attach HTTP semantics is all
that's needed to generate a reverse-proxy with this library.

## Installation

The grpc-gateway requires a local installation of the Google protocol buffers
compiler `protoc` v3.0.0 or above. Please install this via your local package
manager or by downloading one of the releases from the official repository:

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases

The following instructions assume you are using
[Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) for dependency
management. Use a
[tool dependency](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#how-can-i-track-tool-dependencies-for-a-module)
to track the versions of the following executable packages:

```go
// +build tools

package tools

import (
    _ "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-grpc-gateway"
    _ "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-swagger"
    _ "github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go"
)
```

Run `go mod tidy` to resolve the versions. Install by running

```sh
$ go install \
    github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-grpc-gateway \
    github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-swagger \
    github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
```

This will place three binaries in your `$GOBIN`;

* `protoc-gen-grpc-gateway`
* `protoc-gen-swagger`
* `protoc-gen-go`

Make sure that your `$GOBIN` is in your `$PATH`.

## Usage

1. Define your [gRPC](https://grpc.io/docs/) service using protocol buffers

`your_service.proto`:
   ```protobuf
   syntax = "proto3";
   package example;
   message StringMessage {
     string value = 1;
   }

service YourService {
     rpc Echo(StringMessage) returns (StringMessage) {}
   }
   ```

2. Add a [`google.api.http`](https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/api/http.proto#L46)
annotation to your .proto file

`your_service.proto`:
   ```diff
    syntax = "proto3";
    package example;
   +
   +import "google/api/annotations.proto";
   +
    message StringMessage {
      string value = 1;
    }

service YourService {
   -  rpc Echo(StringMessage) returns (StringMessage) {}
   +  rpc Echo(StringMessage) returns (StringMessage) {
   +    option (google.api.http) = {
   +      post: "/v1/example/echo"
   +      body: "*"
   +    };
   +  }
    }
   ```

>You will need to provide the required third party protobuf files to the `protoc` compiler.
   >They are included in this repo under the `third_party/googleapis` folder, and we recommend copying
   >them into your `protoc` generation file structure. If you've structured your proto files according
   >to something like [the Buf style guide](https://buf.build/docs/style-guide#files-and-packages),
   >you could copy the files into a top-level `./google` folder.

See [a_bit_of_everything.proto](examples/internal/proto/examplepb/a_bit_of_everything.proto)
   for examples of more annotations you can add to customize gateway behavior
   and generated Swagger output.

If you do not want to modify the proto file for use with grpc-gateway you can
   alternatively use an external
   [gRPC Service Configuration](https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/grpc/grpc-service-config) file.
   [Check our documentation](https://grpc-ecosystem.github.io/grpc-gateway/docs/grpcapiconfiguration.html)
   for more information.

3. Generate gRPC stub
  
  Here is an example of what a `protoc` command might look like:

```sh
  protoc -I. --go_out=plugins=grpc,paths=source_relative:./gen/go/ your/service/v1/your_service.proto
  ```

It will generate a stub file with path `./gen/go/your/service/v1/your_service.pb.go`.

4. Implement your service in gRPC as usual

1. (Optional) Generate gRPC stub in the [other programming languages](https://grpc.io/docs/).

For example, the following generates gRPC code for Ruby based on `your/service/v1/your_service.proto`:
     ```sh
     protoc -I. --ruby_out=./gen/ruby your/service/v1/your_service.proto

protoc -I. --grpc-ruby_out=./gen/ruby your/service/v1/your_service.proto
     ```
   2. Add the googleapis-common-protos gem (or your language equivalent) as a dependency to your project.
   3. Implement your gRPC service stubs

5. Generate reverse-proxy using `protoc-gen-grpc-gateway`

```sh
   protoc -I. --grpc-gateway_out=logtostderr=true,paths=source_relative:./gen/go \
     your/service/v1/your_service.proto
   ```

It will generate a reverse proxy `gen/go/your/service/v1/your_service.pb.gw.go`.

6. Write an entrypoint for the HTTP reverse-proxy server

```go
   package main
 
   import (
     "context"
     "flag"
     "net/http"
 
     "github.com/golang/glog"
     "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/runtime"
     "google.golang.org/grpc"
 
     gw "github.com/yourorg/yourrepo/proto/gen/go/your/service/v1/your_service"  // Update
   )
 
   var (
     // command-line options:
     // gRPC server endpoint
     grpcServerEndpoint = flag.String("grpc-server-endpoint",  "localhost:9090", "gRPC server endpoint")
   )
 
   func run() error {
     ctx := context.Background()
     ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(ctx)
     defer cancel()
 
     // Register gRPC server endpoint
     // Note: Make sure the gRPC server is running properly and accessible
     mux := runtime.NewServeMux()
     opts := []grpc.DialOption{grpc.WithInsecure()}
     err := gw.RegisterYourServiceHandlerFromEndpoint(ctx, mux,  *grpcServerEndpoint, opts)
     if err != nil {
       return err
     }
 
     // Start HTTP server (and proxy calls to gRPC server endpoint)
     return http.ListenAndServe(":8081", mux)
   }
 
   func main() {
     flag.Parse()
     defer glog.Flush()
 
     if err := run(); err != nil {
       glog.Fatal(err)
     }
   }
   ```

7. (Optional) Generate swagger definitions using `protoc-gen-swagger`

```sh
   protoc -I. --swagger_out=logtostderr=true:./gen/swagger your/service/v1/your_service.proto
   ```

## Video intro

This GopherCon UK 2019 presentation from our maintainer
[@JohanBrandhorst](https://github.com/johanbrandhorst) provides a good intro to
using the grpc-gateway. It uses the following boilerplate repo as a base:
https://github.com/johanbrandhorst/grpc-gateway-boilerplate.

## Parameters and flags

During code generation with `protoc`, flags to grpc-gateway tools must be passed
through protoc using the `--<tool_suffix>_out=<flags>:<path>` pattern, for
example:

```sh
--grpc-gateway_out=logtostderr=true,repeated_path_param_separator=ssv:.
--swagger_out=logtostderr=true,repeated_path_param_separator=ssv:.
```

`protoc-gen-grpc-gateway` supports custom mapping from Protobuf `import` to
Golang import paths. They are compatible with
[the parameters with the same names in `protoc-gen-go`](https://github.com/golang/protobuf#parameters).

In addition we also support the `request_context` parameter in order to use the
`http.Request`'s Context (only for Go 1.7 and above). This parameter can be
useful to pass the request-scoped context between the gateway and the gRPC service.

`protoc-gen-grpc-gateway` also supports some more command line flags to control
logging. You can give these flags together with parameters above. Run
`protoc-gen-grpc-gateway --help` for more details about the flags.

Similarly, `protoc-gen-swagger` supports command-line flags to control Swagger
output (for example, `json_names_for_fields` to output JSON names for fields
instead of protobuf names). Run `protoc-gen-swagger --help` for more flag
details. Further Swagger customization is possible by annotating your `.proto`
files with options from
[openapiv2.proto](protoc-gen-swagger/options/openapiv2.proto) - see
[a_bit_of_everything.proto](examples/internal/proto/examplepb/a_bit_of_everything.proto)
for examples.

## More Examples
More examples are available under `examples` directory.
* `proto/examplepb/echo_service.proto`, `proto/examplepb/a_bit_of_everything.proto`, `proto/examplepb/unannotated_echo_service.proto`: service definition
  * `proto/examplepb/echo_service.pb.go`, `proto/examplepb/a_bit_of_everything.pb.go`, `proto/examplepb/unannotated_echo_service.pb.go`: [generated] stub of the service
  * `proto/examplepb/echo_service.pb.gw.go`, `proto/examplepb/a_bit_of_everything.pb.gw.go`, `proto/examplepb/uannotated_echo_service.pb.gw.go`: [generated] reverse proxy for the service
  * `proto/examplepb/unannotated_echo_service.yaml`: gRPC API Configuration for ```unannotated_echo_service.proto```

To use the same port for custom HTTP handlers (e.g. serving `swagger.json`),
gRPC-gateway, and a gRPC server, see
[this example by CoreOS](https://github.com/philips/grpc-gateway-example/blob/master/cmd/serve.go)
(and its accompanying [blog post](https://coreos.com/blog/grpc-protobufs-swagger.html)).

## Features

### Supported

* Generating JSON API handlers.
* Method parameters in the request body.
* Method parameters in the request path.
* Method parameters in query string.
* Enum fields in the path parameter (including repeated enum fields).
* Mapping streaming APIs to newline-delimited JSON streams.
* Mapping HTTP headers with `Grpc-Metadata-` prefix to gRPC metadata (prefixed with `grpcgateway-`)
* Optionally emitting API definitions for
[OpenAPI (Swagger) v2](https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/basic-structure/).
* Setting [gRPC timeouts](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md#requests)
through inbound HTTP `Grpc-Timeout` header.
* Partial support for [gRPC API Configuration](https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/grpc/grpc-service-config)
files as an alternative to annotation.
* Automatically translating PATCH requests into Field Mask gRPC requests. See
[the docs](https://grpc-ecosystem.github.io/grpc-gateway/docs/patch.html)
for more information.

### No plan to support
But patch is welcome.
* Method parameters in HTTP headers.
* Handling trailer metadata.
* Encoding request/response body in XML.
* True bi-directional streaming.

# Mapping gRPC to HTTP

* [How gRPC error codes map to HTTP status codes in the response](https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/blob/master/runtime/errors.go#L15).
* HTTP request source IP is added as `X-Forwarded-For` gRPC request header.
* HTTP request host is added as `X-Forwarded-Host` gRPC request header.
* HTTP `Authorization` header is added as `authorization` gRPC request header.
* Remaining Permanent HTTP header keys (as specified by the IANA
[here](http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/message-headers.xhtml)
are prefixed with `grpcgateway-` and added with their values to gRPC request
header.
* HTTP headers that start with 'Grpc-Metadata-' are mapped to gRPC metadata
(prefixed with `grpcgateway-`).
* While configurable, the default {un,}marshaling uses
[jsonpb](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/golang/protobuf/jsonpb) with
`OrigName: true`.
