grpc-promise-ts

library0.2.2jsnpmunverified

A TypeScript fork of grpc-promise providing type-safe gRPC client stubs with a Promise-based API for unary RPCs. Version 0.2.2 (last released 2020) is in early, incomplete development — only client unary calls are implemented, streaming not supported. The package is explicitly marked as not production-ready. Differentiator: homegrown attempt at promise-based gRPC for TypeScript, but largely superseded by @grpc/grpc-js and grpc-tools. Release cadence: none since 2020.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

GrpcPromiseClient

✓ import { GrpcPromiseClient } from 'grpc-promise-ts';

✗ const GrpcPromiseClient = require('grpc-promise-ts').GrpcPromiseClient;

Package is ESM-compatible but may require TypeScript configuration. Use named import.

default

✓

✗ import grpcPromise from 'grpc-promise-ts';

No default export exists; only named exports.

GrpcPromiseClient

✓ import { GrpcPromiseClient } from 'grpc-promise-ts';

✗ import { GrpcPromiseClient } from 'grpc-promise-ts/index';

Avoid specifying index; package.json main points to dist.

Shows creating a promisified gRPC client using GrpcPromiseClient and calling a unary method.

import * as grpc from 'grpc'; import { GrpcPromiseClient } from 'grpc-promise-ts'; import { GreeterService } from './generated/greeter_grpc_pb'; const client = new GrpcPromiseClient( GreeterService, 'localhost:50051', grpc.credentials.createInsecure() ); const message = new HelloRequest(); message.setName('World'); client.sayHello(message) .then(response => console.log(response.getGreeting())) .catch(err => console.error(err));

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is under development and should not be used by anyone for any reason at this time.

fix

Use @grpc/grpc-js with promisified stubs or grpc-promise@latest (JavaScript).

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaOnly client unary RPCs are implemented. Streaming (server, client, bidirectional) is missing.

fix

Do not use for streaming RPCs; switch to grpc-promise for streaming or implement manually.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedPackage last updated in 2020, no maintenance or releases since.

fix

Use actively maintained alternatives like @grpc/grpc-js.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'grpc-promise-ts'

Package may not be installed or has no main entry due to incomplete build.

fix

Install: npm install grpc-promise-ts (but prefer alternative).

TypeError: grpc.makeGenericClientConstructor is not a function

Using newer @grpc/grpc-js API with this package expects old grpc library.

fix

Use grpc (the C-based library) 1.24.x or migrate to @grpc/grpc-js with different stub setup.
