JavaScript

Rules for generating JavaScript protobuf, gRPC-node and gRPC-Web .js and .d.ts files using standard Protocol Buffers and gRPC.

Note: You must add the required dependencies to your package.json file:

"dependencies": {
  "@grpc/grpc-js": "1.2.6",
  "google-protobuf": "3.15.3",
  "grpc-tools": "1.10.0",
  "grpc-web": "1.2.1",
  "ts-protoc-gen": "0.14.0"
}
