grpcweb implements the gRPC-Web spec as a wrapper around a gRPC-Go Server.
It allows web clients (see companion JS library) to talk to gRPC-Go servers over the gRPC-Web spec. It supports HTTP/1.1 and HTTP2 encoding of a gRPC stream and supports unary and server-side streaming RPCs. Bi-di and client streams are unsupported due to limitations in browser protocol support.
See https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-WEB.md for the protocol specification.
Here's an example of how to use it inside an existing gRPC Go server on a separate http.Server that serves over TLS:
grpcServer := grpc.Server()
wrappedGrpc := grpcweb.WrapServer(grpcServer)
tlsHttpServer.Handler = http.HandlerFunc(func(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
if wrappedGrpc.IsGrpcWebRequest(req) {
wrappedGrpc.ServeHTTP(resp, req)
}
// Fall back to other servers.
http.DefaultServeMux.ServeHTTP(resp, req)
})
If you'd like to have a standalone binary, please take a look at grpcwebproxy.
func ListGRPCResources(server *grpc.Server) []stringListGRPCResources is a helper function that lists all URLs that are registered on gRPC server.
This makes it easy to register all the relevant routes in your HTTP router of choice.
func WebsocketRequestOrigin(req *http.Request) (string, error)WebsocketRequestOrigin returns the host from which a websocket request made by a web browser originated.
type Option func(*options)func WithAllowNonRootResource(allowNonRootResources bool) OptionWithAllowNonRootResource enables the gRPC wrapper to serve requests that have a path prefix added to the URL, before the service name and method placeholders.
This should be set to false when exposing the endpoint as the root resource, to avoid the performance cost of path processing for every request.
The default behaviour is false, i.e. always serves requests assuming there is
no prefix to the gRPC endpoint.
func WithAllowedRequestHeaders(headers []string) OptionWithAllowedRequestHeaders allows for customizing what gRPC request headers a browser can add.
This is controlling the CORS pre-flight Access-Control-Allow-Headers method
and applies to all gRPC handlers. However, a special * value can be passed
in that allows the browser client to provide any header, by explicitly
whitelisting all Access-Control-Request-Headers of the pre-flight request.
The default behaviour is []string{'*'}, allowing all browser client headers.
This option overrides that default, while maintaining a whitelist for
gRPC-internal headers.
Unfortunately, since the CORS pre-flight happens independently from gRPC handler execution, it is impossible to automatically discover it from the gRPC handler itself.

func WithCorsForRegisteredEndpointsOnly(onlyRegistered bool) OptionWithCorsForRegisteredEndpointsOnly allows for customizing whether OPTIONS
requests with the X-GRPC-WEB header will only be accepted if they match a
registered gRPC endpoint.
This should be set to false to allow handling gRPC requests for unknown endpoints (e.g. for proxying).
The default behaviour is true, i.e. only allows CORS requests for registered
endpoints.
func WithEndpointsFunc(endpointsFunc func() []string) OptionWithEndpointsFunc allows for providing a custom function that provides all
supported endpoints for use when the when WithCorsForRegisteredEndpoints
option` is not set to false (i.e. the default state).
When wrapping a http.Handler with WrapHttpHandler, failing to specify the
WithEndpointsFunc option will cause all CORS requests to result in a 403 error
for websocket requests (if websockets are enabled) or be passed to the handler
http.Handler or grpc.Server backend (i.e. as if it wasn't wrapped).
When wrapping grpc.Server with WrapGrpcServer, registered endpoints will be
automatically detected, however if this WithEndpointsFunc option is specified,
the server will not be queried for its endpoints and this function will be
called instead.
func WithOriginFunc(originFunc func(origin string) bool) OptionWithOriginFunc allows for customizing what CORS Origin requests are allowed.
This is controlling the CORS pre-flight Access-Control-Allow-Origin. This
mechanism allows you to limit the availability of the APIs based on the domain
name of the calling website (Origin). You can provide a function that filters
the allowed Origin values.
The default behaviour is to deny all requests from remote origins.
The relevant CORS pre-flight docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Allow-Origin
func WithWebsocketOriginFunc(websocketOriginFunc func(req *http.Request) bool) OptionWithWebsocketOriginFunc allows for customizing the acceptance of Websocket requests - usually to check that the origin is valid.
The default behaviour is to check that the origin of the request matches the host of the request and deny all requests from remote origins.
func WithWebsocketPingInterval(websocketPingInterval time.Duration) OptionWithWebsocketPingInterval enables websocket keepalive pinging with the configured timeout.
The default behaviour is to disable websocket pinging.
func WithWebsockets(enableWebsockets bool) OptionWithWebsockets allows for handling grpc-web requests of websockets - enabling bidirectional requests.
The default behaviour is false, i.e. to disallow websockets
type WrappedGrpcServer struct {
}func WrapHandler(handler http.Handler, options ...Option) *WrappedGrpcServerWrapHandler takes a http.Handler (such as a http.Mux) and returns a *WrappedGrpcServer that provides gRPC-Web Compatibility.
This behaves nearly identically to WrapServer except when the WithCorsForRegisteredEndpointsOnly setting is true. Then a WithEndpointsFunc option must be provided or all CORS requests will NOT be handled.
func WrapServer(server *grpc.Server, options ...Option) *WrappedGrpcServerWrapServer takes a gRPC Server in Go and returns a *WrappedGrpcServer that provides gRPC-Web Compatibility.
The internal implementation fakes out a http.Request that carries standard gRPC, and performs the remapping inside http.ResponseWriter, i.e. mostly the re-encoding of Trailers (that carry gRPC status).
You can control the behaviour of the wrapper (e.g. modifying CORS behaviour)
using With* options.
func (w *WrappedGrpcServer) HandleGrpcWebRequest(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request)HandleGrpcWebRequest takes a HTTP request that is assumed to be a gRPC-Web request and wraps it with a compatibility layer to transform it to a standard gRPC request for the wrapped gRPC server and transforms the response to comply with the gRPC-Web protocol.
func (w *WrappedGrpcServer) HandleGrpcWebsocketRequest(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request)HandleGrpcWebsocketRequest takes a HTTP request that is assumed to be a gRPC-Websocket request and wraps it with a compatibility layer to transform it to a standard gRPC request for the wrapped gRPC server and transforms the response to comply with the gRPC-Web protocol.
func (w *WrappedGrpcServer) IsAcceptableGrpcCorsRequest(req *http.Request) boolIsAcceptableGrpcCorsRequest determines if a request is a CORS pre-flight request for a gRPC-Web request and that this request is acceptable for CORS.
You can control the CORS behaviour using With* options in the WrapServer
function.
func (w *WrappedGrpcServer) IsGrpcWebRequest(req *http.Request) boolIsGrpcWebRequest determines if a request is a gRPC-Web request by checking that the "content-type" is "application/grpc-web" and that the method is POST.
func (w *WrappedGrpcServer) IsGrpcWebSocketRequest(req *http.Request) boolIsGrpcWebSocketRequest determines if a request is a gRPC-Web request by checking that the "Sec-Websocket-Protocol" header value is "grpc-websockets"
func (w *WrappedGrpcServer) ServeHTTP(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request)ServeHTTP takes a HTTP request and if it is a gRPC-Web request wraps it with a compatibility layer to transform it to a standard gRPC request for the wrapped gRPC server and transforms the response to comply with the gRPC-Web protocol.
The gRPC-Web compatibility is only invoked if the request is a gRPC-Web request as determined by IsGrpcWebRequest or the request is a pre-flight (CORS) request as determined by IsAcceptableGrpcCorsRequest.
You can control the CORS behaviour using With* options in the WrapServer
function.
