Is sequence ordering guaranteed in connect-web in the same way as in protocol buffers?

[hiroyuki-fujii-td]

Thank you for your contribution!

I create proto file like below.

message GetRequest {
  repeated string name = 1;
}

Then I use connect-web, no use proxy like envoy.
So I create a connectClient.ts like below, along this document.

import { createPromiseClient, type PromiseClient } from '@bufbuild/connect';
import { createConnectTransport } from '@bufbuild/connect-web';
import { type ServiceType } from '@bufbuild/protobuf';
import { useMemo } from 'react';

const transport = createConnectTransport({
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9991',
});

export function useClient<T extends ServiceType>(service: T): PromiseClient<T> {
  return useMemo(() => createPromiseClient(service, transport), [service]);
}

Client can request to connect server by using curl command.

I found this disucussion Does repeated fields in protobuffers keep the order they are inserted?, recognized that order is guaranteed in gRPC using connect.WithGRPC().

Is ordering guaranteed in the same way as gRPC using connect.WithGRPC()?
Is connect-web also compliant with this Documentation ?

best regard

Hi @hiroyuki-fujii-td. Yes, the ordering for repeated fields is guaranteed with Connect-Web also according to the spec. The same guarantees apply, i.e:

The order of the elements with respect to each other is preserved when parsing, though the ordering with respect to other fields is lost.
