[gRPC Go ](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go ) Middleware: interceptors, helpers, utilities.
## Middleware
[gRPC Go ](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go ) recently acquired support for
Interceptors, i.e. [middleware ](https://medium.com/@matryer/writing-middleware-in-golang-and-how-go-makes-it-so-much-fun-4375c1246e81#.gv7tdlghs )

that is executed either on the gRPC Server before the request is passed onto the user's application logic, or on the gRPC client around the user call. It is a perfect way to implement

common patterns: auth, logging, message, validation, retries or monitoring.
These are generic building blocks that make it easy to build multiple microservices easily.
The purpose of this repository is to act as a go-to point for such reusable functionality. It contains
some of them itself, but also will link to useful external repos.
`grpc_middleware` itself provides support for chaining interceptors, here's an example:
```go
import "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-middleware"
myServer := grpc.NewServer(
grpc.StreamInterceptor(grpc_middleware.ChainStreamServer(
2021-06-04 08:59:18 +00:00
grpc_recovery.StreamServerInterceptor(),
2020-02-17 12:15:57 +00:00
grpc_ctxtags.StreamServerInterceptor(),
grpc_opentracing.StreamServerInterceptor(),
grpc_prometheus.StreamServerInterceptor,
grpc_zap.StreamServerInterceptor(zapLogger),
grpc_auth.StreamServerInterceptor(myAuthFunction),
)),
grpc.UnaryInterceptor(grpc_middleware.ChainUnaryServer(
2021-06-04 08:59:18 +00:00
grpc_recovery.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
2020-02-17 12:15:57 +00:00
grpc_ctxtags.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
grpc_opentracing.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
grpc_prometheus.UnaryServerInterceptor,
grpc_zap.UnaryServerInterceptor(zapLogger),
grpc_auth.UnaryServerInterceptor(myAuthFunction),
)),
)
```
## Interceptors
*Please send a PR to add new interceptors or middleware to this list*
#### Auth
* [`grpc_auth` ](auth ) - a customizable (via `AuthFunc` ) piece of auth middleware
#### Logging
* [`grpc_ctxtags` ](tags/ ) - a library that adds a `Tag` map to context, with data populated from request body
* [`grpc_zap` ](logging/zap/ ) - integration of [zap ](https://github.com/uber-go/zap ) logging library into gRPC handlers.
* [`grpc_logrus` ](logging/logrus/ ) - integration of [logrus ](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus ) logging library into gRPC handlers.
2021-06-04 08:59:18 +00:00
* [`grpc_kit` ](logging/kit/ ) - integration of [go-kit ](https://github.com/go-kit/kit/tree/master/log ) logging library into gRPC handlers.
* [`grpc_grpc_logsettable` ](logging/settable/ ) - a wrapper around `grpclog.LoggerV2` that allows to replace loggers in runtime (thread-safe).
2020-02-17 12:15:57 +00:00
#### Monitoring
* [`grpc_prometheus`⚡ ](https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-prometheus ) - Prometheus client-side and server-side monitoring middleware
* [`otgrpc`⚡ ](https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-opentracing/tree/master/go/otgrpc ) - [OpenTracing ](http://opentracing.io/ ) client-side and server-side interceptors
* [`grpc_opentracing` ](tracing/opentracing ) - [OpenTracing ](http://opentracing.io/ ) client-side and server-side interceptors with support for streaming and handler-returned tags
#### Client
* [`grpc_retry` ](retry/ ) - a generic gRPC response code retry mechanism, client-side middleware
#### Server
* [`grpc_validator` ](validator/ ) - codegen inbound message validation from `.proto` options
* [`grpc_recovery` ](recovery/ ) - turn panics into gRPC errors
2021-06-04 08:59:18 +00:00
* [`ratelimit` ](ratelimit/ ) - grpc rate limiting by your own limiter

## Status
This code has been running in *production* since May 2016 as the basis of the gRPC micro services stack at [Improbable ](https://improbable.io ).
Additional tooling will be added, and contributions are welcome.
