GrpcEndpoint

Used for creating GRPC endpoints.

Implements: IOpenable, IConfigurable, IReferenceable

Description

The GrpcEndpoint class allows you to create GRPC endpoints. An endpoint is a URL, at which a given service can be accessed by a client.

Configuration parameters

Parameters to pass to the :func:configure method for component configuration:

connection(s): the connection resolver’s connections:

  • “connection.discovery_key”: key used for connection resolving in a discovery service;
  • “connection.protocol”: connection’s protocol;
  • “connection.host”: target host;
  • “connection.port”: target port;
  • “connection.uri”: target URI. credential: HTTPS credentials:
  • “credential.ssl_key_file”: SSL private key in PEM
  • “credential.ssl_crt_file”: SSL certificate in PEM
  • “credential.ssl_ca_file”: certificate authorities (root cerfiticates) in PEM

References

A logger, counters, and a connection resolver can be referenced by passing the following references to the object’s set_references

  • *:discovery:*:*:1.0 - (optional) IDiscovery services
  • *:logger:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ILogger components to pass log messages
  • *:counters:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ICounters components to pass collected measurementsand as specified by the counter’s source.

Instance methods

close

Closes this endpoint and the GRPC server (service) that was opened earlier.

public close(correlationId: string): Promise<void>

  • correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

configure

Configures this HttpEndpoint using the given configuration parameters.

public configure(config: ConfigParams): void

  • config: ConfigParams - configuration parameters, containing a “connection(s)” section.

isOpen

Checks if the component is open.

public isOpen(): boolean

  • returns: boolean - whether or not this endpoint is open with an actively listening GRPC server.

open

Opens a connection using the parameters resolved by the referenced connection resolver and creates a GRPC server (service) using the set options and parameters.

public open(correlationId: string): Promise<void>

  • correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

register

Registers a registerable object for dynamic endpoint discovery.

public register(registration: IRegisterable): void

registerService

Registers a service with related implementation

public registerService(service: any, implementation: any): void

  • service: any - a GRPC service object.
  • implementation: any - the service implementation methods.

registerCommandableMethod

Registers a commandable method in the object’s GRPC server (service) by the given name.

public registerCommandableMethod(method: string, schema: Schema, action: (call: any) => Promise<any>): void

  • method: string - GRPC method name.
  • schema: Schema - schema to use for parameter validation.
  • action: (call: any) => Promise<any> - action to perform at the given route.

registerService

Registers a service with related implementation

public registerService(service: any, implementation: any): void

  • service: any - a GRPC service object.
  • implementation: any - the service implementation methods.

setReferences

Sets references to this endpoint’s logger, counters, and connection resolver.

public setReferences(references: IReferences): void

  • references: IReferences - an IReferences object, containing references to a logger, counters, and a connection resolver.

unregister

Unregisters a registerable object, so that it is no longer used in dynamic

public unregister(registration: IRegisterable): void

Examples

public async MyMethod(config: ConfigParams, references: IReferences): Promise<void> {
    let endpoint = new HttpEndpoint();
    if (this._config)
        endpoint.configure(this._config);
    if (this._references)
        endpoint.setReferences(this._references);
    ...
    await this._endpoint.open(correlationId);
}
