About:
protoc-gen-grpc-web is a plugin for the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc) that generates client-side JavaScript and TypeScript code for gRPC-Web. It enables web browsers to communicate directly with gRPC backend services, bridging the gap between traditional gRPC servers and browser clients.
Key Features:
  • Generates idiomatic JavaScript and TypeScript client stubs
  • Supports both CommonJS and ES6 module imports
  • Enables browser-to-backend gRPC communication via the gRPC-Web protocol
  • Integrates seamlessly with the standard protoc compiler workflow
Use Cases:
  • Building web applications that need to communicate with gRPC microservices
  • Creating TypeScript-based frontends with strongly-typed gRPC clients
  • Enabling browser-based tools to interact with gRPC backends
Alternatives:
  • grpc-web – This is the official implementation; alternatives would be manual protobuf parsing or using REST/GraphQL gateways
