gRPC-Web 0.4.0 Released

[Stanley Cheung]

Hi,

I am happy to announce that version 0.4.0 of the gRPC-Web Client library has been released. We have added tons of new features recently so be sure to check it out! Here are some highlights:

• TypeScript and CommonJS support
• Multiple proxies interoperability (Envoy, Nginx, etc)
  
• Bazel build support
• Various improvements to the protoc-gen-grpc-web codegen plugin
• Demo integration with webpack, browserify, closure-compiler, etc
• Our npm package is now live: npm i grpc-web

A brief recap for those of you who may not be familiar with gRPC-Web: it provides a JavaScript library that lets browser clients access a gRPC backend service. Our protoc plugin provides a generated code surface from your protobuf service definitions, which then you can import into your JavaScript/TypeScript project.

As we are moving towards GA, we would love to hear your feedback! We would like to hear how you expect to use gRPC-Web from your project, and what new features you would like to see us support!

Thanks,

gRPC-Web team
