GRPC Chunk data parser

Typescript package for parsing grpc chunk data

Installing the package

First, add a .npmrc file with the following content:

@redjohnzarra:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

Then install: npm i -S @redjohnzarra/grpc-chunk-parser

Usage

Import the parseGrpcData function in your file via the command

import { parseGrpcData } from '@redjohnzarra/grpc-chunk-parser';

Then call it like you would a normal function parseGrpcData(**PARAMS_HERE**)

parseGrpcData has 5 parameters:

1. requestObject - required - object - request object has 4 properties:
   • url - required - string - the grpc http endpoint
   • method - required - string - http method, currently 'POST' or 'GET'
   • headers - required - object - request headers
   • body - required - object - request body
2. dataObject - required (you can pass an empty object) - object - has the following 3 available properties:
   • limiter - optional - integer - number of items to be returned in each chunk (chunk pagesize)
   • concatData - optional - boolean - indicator if data to be returned is every chunk or all the data up to the current limit
   • objectPrefix - optional - string - for returning the object on a specific object path
3. onChunkReceive - optional - function - returns the chunk data on each chunk received, (or on specific limit/pagesize defined in the 2nd param)
4. onFinish - optional - function - function called when all chunks have been returned, returns the full data
5. onError - optional - function - returns the error if an error is encountered during the request

Example

import { parseGrpcData } from '@redjohnzarra/grpc-chunk-parser';

parseGrpcData(
    {
        url: "SAMPLE_URL_HERE",
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            // request header object
        },
        body: {
            // request body object
        }
    },
    {
        limiter: 20, // Every 20 items received, the function in
			        // param 3 `onChunkReceive` will be called.
        concatData: false,
        objectPrefix: 'result.aws',
    },
    (data: any) => {
        console.log('returned data', data);
    },
    (fullData: any) => {
        console.log('On finish here', fullData)
    },
    (err: any) => {
        console.log('Error here, err)
    }
);
