The tool you need for your GRPC clients and backends

The Tool That Completes GRPC 

Tap Rpc is a tool that aids in proto based dynamic generation of :

• A mock server that sends realistic auto generated mock responses (which can be customized).
• Realtime modification of request and responses. Modify requests from client before it reaches server and modify response from server before it reaches client.
• Provides grpc client to send auto generated mock requests to your services.

Tap-Rpc aims to significantly ease the development and testing efforts for all of frontend, backend devs and also testers.

Installation and Usage :

• Download the latest release from here : https://github.com/nateshmbhat/tap-rpc/releases

• In your client app, set the host and port for the grpc service to point to the Tap-Rpc’s ip address and port shown at the middle of the Tap-Rpc window title.

• Set the default target server URL, which is needed for the monitor and client modes.

• User selects the proto files containing the services. Once you select proto files, all the services and Rpcs in those services appear in a tree structure and you can select a particular rpc.

• At this point any requests coming from the client will be forwarded to the default target server in the background.

• Now your client app is ready to access all the features of Tap-Rpc.

Features

Tap Rpc provides 3 modes of operation :

Mock Rpc mode :

• Automatically setup mock response server by loading proto file
• Generates convincing mock responses based on the properties in the proto
• Supports loading multiple proto files with multiple services and rpcs
• Edit values of generated mock responses based on your need

Monitor mode :

• Monitor requests and responses by acting as the middle man between a grpc client and server
• Edit requests in real time before it reaches the backend server
• Edit response in real time before it reaches back the client

Client mode :

• Test your backend services independently with this client
• Generates convincing Mock Request objects for quick rpc calls

tap-rpc's Issues

Windows release <3

Maybe I am blind, but I cannot find a Windows release here: https://github.com/nateshmbhat/tap-rpc/releases

While the readme suggests that there might be one:

Monitor is not working for response

in monitor mode, monitoring request I happening
when it comes to request monitoring even after checking the checkbox, the response is going to the client
