CommandableGrpcClient

Extends: GrpcClient

Description

The CommandableGrpcClient class allows you to create clients that call a commandable gRPC service.

Important points

• Commandable services are generated automatically for ICommandable. Each command is exposed as an Invoke method that receives all parameters as args.

Configuration parameters

• connection(s):
  • discovery_key: (optional) key to retrieve the connection from IDiscovery
  • protocol: connection protocol: http or https
  • host: host name or IP address
  • port: port number
  • uri: resource URI or connection string with all parameters in it
• options:
  • retries: number of retries (default: 3)
  • connect_timeout: connection timeout in milliseconds (default: 10 sec)
  • timeout: invocation timeout in milliseconds (default: 10 sec)

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 measurements and specify the counter’s source.

Constructors

Creates a new instance of the client.

CommandableGrpcClient(String name)

• name: String - service name.

Fields

Instance methods

callCommand

Calls a remote method via the GRPC commandable protocol. The call is made via Invoke method and all parameters are sent in args object. The complete route to remote method is defined as serviceName + ‘.’ + name.

Future callCommand(String name, IContext? context, params)

• name: String - name of the command to call.
• context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
• params: dynamic - command parameters.
• returns: Future - feature that receives the result

Examples

class MyCommandableGrpcClient extends CommandableGrpcClient implements IMyClient {
   ...
    Future<MyData> getData(IContext? context, String id) async {
       var result = await callCommand(
           'get_data',
           context,
           { 'id': id }
        );
       var item = MyData()
       item.fromJson(result);
       return item;
    }
    ...
}

var client = MyCommandableGrpcClient();
client.configure(ConfigParams.fromTuples([
    'connection.protocol', 'http',
    'connection.host', 'localhost',
    'connection.port', 8080
]));

var item = await client.getData('123', '1')
