GrpcReflection (grpc_reflection v0.4.0)

Reflection support for the grpc-elixir package

Protos compiled with gen_descriptors=true provide the richest reflection output. If that option is omitted, this library synthesizes descriptors from runtime module metadata (__message_props__, __rpc_calls__). The synthesized path produces equivalent output for standard gRPC reflection clients; only proto2 extensions and custom proto options are unavailable without gen_descriptors=true.

To turn on reflection in your application, do the following:

1. Create your reflection server

   defmodule Helloworld.Reflection.Server do
   use GrpcReflection.Server,
    version: :v1,
    services: [Helloworld.Greeter.Service]
   end

2. Add the reflection supervisor to your supervision tree

   children = [
   {GRPC.Server.Supervisor, endpoint: Helloworld.Endpoint, port: 50051, start_server: true},
   GrpcReflection
   ]

3. Add your reflection server to your endpoint

   defmodule Helloworld.Endpoint do
   use GRPC.Endpoint
   
   intercept(GRPC.Server.Interceptors.Logger)
   run(Helloworld.Greeter.Server)
   run(Helloworld.Reflection.Server)
   end
