5 minutes to add RESTful APIs for your gRPC services

gRPC service with HTTP interface?

While go-zero brought an excellent RESTful and gRPC service development experience to the developers, more expectations arised.

I want to write code only once
I want both the gRPC and HTTP interfaces

It makes sense! You see what users say.

User A: a set of logic, HTTP and gRPC together.
User B: if go-zero can simplify this step I feel it will become the the best microservices framework, ever.

So I fell into a deep thought: the user is never wrong, but do we want to provide it?

Here comes the article.

Let's write gRPC service first

We are too familiar with this service. Create a new directory, let's call it grpc-restufl, and put a sum.proto file in it

syntax = "proto3";package sum;option go_package="./pb";message SumRequest {    int64 a = 1;    int64 b = 2;}message SumResponse {    int64 result = 1;}service Sum {    rpc Add(SumRequest) returns (SumResponse) {}}

One-click generation, you know.

$ goctl rpc protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=. --zrpc_out=. sum.proto

See what you get

. etc  sum.yaml go.mod internal  config   config.go  logic   addlogic.go  server   sumserver.go  svc  servicecontext.go pb  sum.pb.go  sum_grpc.pb.go sum  sum.go sum.go sum.proto

To implement the business logic, modify the Add method in internal/logic/addlogic.go as follows.

func (l *AddLogic) Add(in *pb.SumRequest) (*pb.SumResponse, error) {    return &pb.SumResponse{        Result: in.A+in.B,    }, nil}

You can run it, and the business logic is there (although it is very simple, for demo purpose.)

$ go mod tidy && go run sum.goStarting rpc server at 127.0.0.1:8080...

For those who are familiar with go-zero, there is no highlight (new knowledge) here, let's go ahead ~

Provide HTTP interface

Update go-zero

First, let's update go-zero to v1.4.0 version,

$ go get -u github.com/zeromicro/go-zero@latest

Modify the proto file

Modify sum.proto, I created a new sum-api.proto, as follows

syntax = "proto3";package sum;option go_package="./pb";import "google/api/annotations.proto";message SumRequest {    int64 a = 1;    int64 b = 2;}message SumResponse {    int64 result = 1;}service Sum {    rpc Add(SumRequest) returns (SumResponse) {        option (google.api.http) = {            post: "/v1/sum"            body: "*"        };    }}

Generate proto descriptor file

protoc --include_imports --proto_path=. --descriptor_set_out=sum.pb sum-api.proto

Modify the configuration file

The modified internal/config/config.go looks like this (partially)

type Config struct {    zrpc.RpcServerConf    Gateway gateway.GatewayConfGateway.GatewayConf }

The modified etc/sum.yaml is as follows

Gateway:  Name: gateway  Port: 8081  Upstreams:    - Grpc:        Endpoints:          - localhost:8080      ProtoSets:        - sum.pb

Modify the main function

Create gateway and use ServiceGroup to manage gRPC server and gateway server, part of the code is as follows.

    gw := gateway.MustNewServer(c.Gateway)    group := service.NewServiceGroup()    group.Add(s)    group.Add(gw)    defer group.Stop()    fmt.Printf("Starting rpc server at %s... 
", c.ListenOn)    fmt.Printf("Starting gateway at %s:%d... 
", c.Gateway.Host, c.Gateway.Port)    group.Start()

Great job!

Let's start the service

$ go run sum.goStarting rpc server at 127.0.0.1:8080...Starting gateway at 0.0.0.0:8081...

Test it with curl

$ curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"a":2, "b":3}' localhost:8081/v1/sumHTTP/1.1 200 OKContent-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8Traceparent: 00-ad5b7df7a834a1c05ee64999e3310811-195ba1f4f9956cc4-00Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 14:33:11 GMTContent-Length: 20{  "result": "5"}

And look at the link information in our gateway and gRPC logs that corresponds to what the client received, awesome!

{"@timestamp": "2022-07-18T22:33:11.437+08:00", "caller": "serverinterceptors/statinterceptor.go:76", "content": "127.0.0.1:61635 - /sum. Sum/Add - {\"a\":2,\"b\":3}", "duration": "0.0ms", "level": "info", "span": "b3c85cd32a76f8c9", "trace":" ad5b7df7a834a1c05ee64999e3310811"}{"@timestamp": "2022-07-18T22:33:11.438+08:00", "caller": "handler/loghandler.go:197", "content":"[HTTP] 200 - POST /v1/sum - 127.0.0.1: 61662 - curl/7.79.1", "duration": "0.7ms", "level": "info", "span": "195ba1f4f9956cc4", "trace": "ad5b7df7a834a1c05ee64999e3310811"}

Conclusion

You see, adding the HTTP interface to our gRPC service is very easy? Isn't it?

Also, don't underestimate this simple gateway, the configuration will automatically load balance if it is docked to the gRPC service found behind it, and you can also customize the middleware to control it whatever you want.

By the way, the full code for this example is at.
