[Feature Request] gRPC Support
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Currently I am using BloomRPC for all my gRPC testing but I found Thunder Client and loving it so far for testing my rest/graphql based (micro)services but I would also love to use it to test my gRPC based service as then I don't have to leave my IDE any to do any testing <3
Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
An option to select .proto files, enter a host to send requests to and be able to send request to the gRPC service to test it like it's a normal REST based service.
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Like mentioned before I am currently using BloomRPC for this, it generates a client on the flow so you can easily use it with whatever gRPC service you want by just selecting the .proto files.
Implementation:
I think it's based to use grpc-web for this, as you can see the Thunder Client as a web-app - we don't need server implementation. Or option is to use the @grpc/proto-loader.
Hi @ThaDaVos I will add this to the roadmap, it will take some time as I have other items in the list to complete.
if you like to contribute let me know, that will make it quicker to implement.
GRPC support would be great to have postman has launched beta support for it too. I am seriously considering converting my backend to use GRPC.
