elm-grpc allows you to communicate with gRPC using gRPC-web purely from Elm. That means no ports and no libraries that add 300 KB to your bundle size.
It uses the wonderful elm-protocol-buffers library and integrates with fully-generated types from protoc-gen-elm.
⚠️ This library is under very heavy development and currently implements only basic features of gRPC-web.
elm install rosenbergm/elm-grpc
# If you're not a masochist, install protoc-gen-elm as well to generate all the necessary code.
yarn global add protoc-gen-elm- Generate Elm types, encoders and decoders from Proto files
protoc --elm_out=. api.proto- Go to the example! The best way to find out how this library works is to see it in action!
Thanks to @michaljanocko for introducing me to Elm (and FP in general) a few years ago. It changed my whole perspective on writing code.
