gRPC server support through an extension

[akshatdubeysf]

I wanted to build a gRPC server using Loopback4, I tried to find an extension similar to the socketIo extension from this list, but could not find one.

If no such extension exists, I would be happy to contribute with some help and guidance.

If it does, it would be really helpful if someone could point me to it.

There's an experimental GRPC extension here:

https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback4-extension-grpc

We haven't had the chance to transfer the package over to the monorepo yet, hence why it doesn't appear in the API docs.

Hope this helps!

@achrinza Thanks!

@achrinza one minor query, the types generated by this extension are adding author - Jonathan Casarrubias automatically, is their any config or something to change this behavior, or atleast the author name.
