What is Sipahi

Batteries included grpc server for NodeJS. Supports middleware, error handling and logging.

All codebase is 200 lines of code. Simple & flexible best for microservices.

Updates:

• Added grpc client
• Removed onResponse middleware
• Pretty log format for development

Features

• Promise Based Server & Client
• Request Middleware
• Error handling
• Built in logging (pino)
• Multiple proto files
• Pure javascript using grpc-js as server
• Built with Typescript

Installation

npm install sipahi

or

yarn add sipahi

Quickstart

/**
* Create Grpc Server
*/
import { Sipahi, Client } from "sipahi";

const server = new Sipahi();

// Add proto file
server.addProto(__dirname + "/proto/hello.proto", "hello");

// Add method 
server.use("Hello", async ({ request, logger }) => {
  logger.info('Log in here')
  return { message: 'Hello you bro! ' + request.name };
});

// Listen errors
server.addHook("onError", async ({ error, logger }) => {
  logger.error(error.message);
});

// Start server
await server.listen({ host: "0.0.0.0", port: 3012 });



/**
* Create Grpc Client
*/
const client = new Client({ proto: __dirname + "/proto/hello.proto", package: "hello", service: "HelloService", host: "0.0.0.0", port: 3012 });

// Make unary call to server
await client.unary("Hello", { name: 'Hello there!' });

Add service

You can add multiple proto files by calling addProto multiple times.

Example:

// server.addProto('proto path', 'package name');

server.addProto(__dirname + "/proto/product.service.proto", "catalog_product");
server.addProto(__dirname + "/proto/order.service.proto", "catalog_order");

Add Methods

You need to define your methods in async function.

Example:

server.use("GetProducts", async ({ request, logger, metadata }) => {
  return { products: [{ id: 1, title: "Sample product name" }] };
});


or 

import { UnaryCall } from 'sipahi'

async function getProducts({ request, logger, metadata }: UnaryCall) {
  return { products: [{ id: 1, title: "Sample product name" }] };
}

server.use("GetProducts", getProducts);

Middleware

You can modify requests by using middleware. To add middleware use addHook method.

There are 2 types of middeware.

1. -> onRequest
2. -> onError

Example 1: Change request data before execution method

server.addHook("onRequest", async ({  metadata, request, logger }) => {
  request.user_id = 12;
});

Example 2: Catch errors

server.addHook("onError", async ({ method, error, logger }) => {
  logger.error("Method: ", method);
  logger.error("Error Message: ", error.message);
  logger.error("Error Stack: ", error.stack);
});

Return Error

Sipahi includes error helper to throw error inside methods.

import { error, status } from 'sipahi'

// Define sample method

server.use("GetProducts", async () => {
  
  return Promise.reject(error('something gonna wrong', status.ALREADY_EXISTS))

});
