• Supports both secure and insecure connections
• Implements the standard gRPC health checking protocol
• Written in TypeScript for better type safety and developer experience

Installation

There are NPM and JSR packages available.

• npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@harutakax/grpc-health-check
• JSR: https://jsr.io/@harutakax/grpc-health-check

# For Node.js
$ npm install @harutakax/grpc-health-check
# For Deno
$ deno add jsr:@harutakax/grpc-health-check

## Usage

```typescript
import { healthCheck } from "@harutakax/grpc-health-check"

async function checkServerHealth() {
  const result = await healthCheck("localhost:50051", true)
  if (result.success) {
    console.log("success")
  } else {
    console.log(`error: ${result.message}`)
  }
}

checkServerHealth()

Health checks are performed by calling the healthCheck function with a URL. The response includes success information, and an error message if the check fails.

API Reference

healthCheck(url: string, insecure: boolean = false)

Performs a health check on the specified gRPC server.

• url: The address and port number of the gRPC server. The port number is optional; if omitted, 443 is used by default (e.g., 'localhost:50051').
• insecure(optional): Set to true to use an insecure connection. Default is false.

Returns a Promise that resolves to a Result object indicating the success or failure of the health check.

type Result = {
  success: boolean
  message?: string
}

• success: Indicates whether the health check was successful.
• message: Error message (only present when success is false).
