NestJs BufConnect

NestJs BufConnect is a custom transport strategy for NestJs microservices that integrates with the Buf's gRPC implementation. The library provides easy-to-use decorators for gRPC services and methods, allowing you to define and implement gRPC services seamlessly in your NestJs applications.

This project is in active development

Features

Decorators for defining gRPC services and methods
Integration with Buf's gRPC implementation
Custom transport strategy for NestJs microservices
Support for NestJs pipes, interceptors, guards, etc
HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP2 support (secure and insecure)
- Able to configure http server options without being constrained by abstraction
Support for gRPC streaming

Installation

pnpm add @wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect
yarn add @wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect
npm install @wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect --save

Usage

Import ServerBufConnect from the @wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect package.
```
import { ServerBufConnect } from '@wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect';
```

Create a new instance of ServerBufConnect and pass it as the strategy in your microservice options.

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { MicroserviceOptions } from '@nestjs/microservices';
import {
  HttpOptions,
  ServerBufConnect,
  ServerProtocol,
} from '@wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

const serverOptions: HttpOptions = {
  protocol: ServerProtocol.HTTP,
  port: 3000,
};

const app = await NestFactory.createMicroservice<MicroserviceOptions>(
  AppModule,
  {
    strategy: new ServerBufConnect(serverOptions),
  }
);

bootstrap();

Use the BufService and BufMethod decorators to define your gRPC services and methods.

import { Get } from '@nestjs/common';

import { BufMethod, BufService } from '@wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { ElizaService } from '../gen/eliza_connect';
import { SayRequest } from '../gen/eliza_pb';

@BufService(ElizaService)
export class AppController {
  constructor(private readonly appService: AppService) {}
  // Standard controller method
  @Get()
  getData() {
    return this.appService.getData();
  }

  @BufMethod()
  async say(request: SayRequest) {
    console.log('calling say');
    return {
      sentence: `say() said: ${request.sentence}`,
    };
  }

  @BufStreamMethod()
  async *introduce(
    req: IntroduceRequest
  ): AsyncGenerator<{ sentence: string }> {
    yield { sentence: `Hi ${req.name}, I'm Eliza` };
    await delay(250);
    yield {
      sentence: `Before we begin, ${req.name}, let me tell you something about myself.`,
    };
    await delay(250);
    yield { sentence: `I'm a Rogerian psychotherapist.` };
    await delay(250);
    yield { sentence: `How are you feeling today?` };
  }
}

NestJs Pipes, Guards, Interceptors, etc

NestJs BufConnect supports the use of NestJs pipes, guards, interceptors, etc.

import {
  CallHandler,
  ExecutionContext,
  Injectable,
  NestInterceptor,
} from '@nestjs/common';
import { Observable, from, lastValueFrom } from 'rxjs';
import { isAsyncGenerator } from '@wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect';

@Injectable()
export class ExampleInterceptor implements NestInterceptor {
  intercept(
    context: ExecutionContext,
    next: CallHandler
  ): Observable<any> | Promise<Observable<any>> {
    const req = context.switchToRpc().getData();
    console.log(`[Before] [${JSON.stringify(req)}]`);

    const streamOrValue = next.handle();

    return new Promise(async (resolve) => {
      console.log(`[Inner] [${JSON.stringify(req)}]`);
      const value = await lastValueFrom(streamOrValue);

      if (isAsyncGenerator(value)) {
        console.log(`[After] [${JSON.stringify(req)}]`);
        resolve(from(value));
      } else {
        console.log(`[After] [${JSON.stringify(req)}]`);
        resolve(streamOrValue);
      }
    });
  }
}

HTTP Support

NestJs BufConnect now provides support for different server protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP2 (secure and insecure). You can configure the desired protocol in the server options passed to the ServerBufConnect instance:

import {
  HttpOptions,
  ServerBufConnect,
  ServerProtocol,
} from '@wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect';

const serverOptions: HttpOptions = {
  protocol: ServerProtocol.HTTP, // or ServerProtocol.HTTPS, ServerProtocol.HTTP2, ServerProtocol.HTTP2_INSECURE
  port: 3000,
};

const strategy = new ServerBufConnect(serverOptions);

For HTTPS and HTTP2, you will need to provide additional options such as key, cert, and other relevant configuration options.

For example:

import {
  HttpsOptions,
  ServerBufConnect,
  ServerProtocol,
} from '@wolfcoded/nestjs-bufconnect';

const serverOptions: HttpsOptions = {
  protocol: ServerProtocol.HTTPS,
  port: 3000,
  serverOptions: {
    key: fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/private-key.pem'),
    cert: fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/certificate.pem'),
  },
};

const strategy = new ServerBufConnect(serverOptions);

This flexibility allows you to choose the right protocol for your application's requirements and security needs.

NOTE

Steaming support requires HTTP/2 and SSL (browsers typically don't support HTTP/2 unencrypted)
You can generate a self-signed certificate to get up and running quickly.

Install selfsigned

import * as selfsigned from 'selfsigned';
const attributes = [{ name: 'commonName', value: 'NestJsBufConnect' }];
const pems = selfsigned.generate(attributes, { days: 1 });

Todo

Add support for client-side gRPC services
