[](https://github.com/joshcarp/grpctl/pulls)
[](/LICENSE)
A golang package for easily creating custom cli tools from FileDescriptors, or through the gRPC reflection API.
# 📖 Table of contents
- [Reflection cli mode](#reflection-cli-mode)
- [File descriptor mode](#file-descriptor-mode)
- [Autocompletion](#autocompletion)
- [Flags](#flags)
- [Design](#design)
- [Contributing](#contributing)
- [License](#license)
To be used like `grpcurl` against reflection APIs but with tab completion.
### 📥 Install
```bash
go get github.com/joshcarp/grpctl/cmd/grpctl
grpctl --help
```
[embedmd]:# (cmd/grpctl/docs/grpctl.md bash / -a/ /WithInsecure/)
```bash
-a, --address string Address in form 'host:port'
--config string Config file (default is $HOME/.grpctl.yaml)
-H, --header stringArray Header in form 'key: value'
-h, --help help for grpctl
-p, --plaintext Dial grpc.WithInsecure
```
To easily create a cli tool for your grpc APIs using the code generated `protoreflect.FileDescriptor`
To view all options that can be used, see [opts.go](opts.go).
### 📥 Install
[embedmd]:# (cmd/billingctl/main.go go /func main/ $)
```go
func main() {
cmd := &cobra.Command{
Use: "billingctl",
Short: "an example cli tool for the gcp billing api",
}
err := grpctl.BuildCommand(cmd,
grpctl.WithArgs(os.Args),
grpctl.WithFileDescriptors(
billing.File_google_cloud_billing_v1_cloud_billing_proto,
billing.File_google_cloud_billing_v1_cloud_catalog_proto,
),
)
if err != nil {
log.Print(err)
}
if err := grpctl.RunCommand(cmd, context.Background()); err != nil {
log.Print(err)
}
}
```
run `grpctl completion --help` and do what it says
- `--address`
```bash
grpctl --address=
```
- it is important that the `=` is used with flags, otherwise the value will be interpreted as a command which does not exist.
- `--header`
```bash
grpctl --address= -H="Foo:Bar" -H="Bar: Foo"
```
- Any white spaces at the start of the value will be stripped
- `--protocol`
```bash
grpctl --address= --protocol=
```
- Specifies which rpc protocol to use, default=grpc
- `--http1`
```bash
grpctl --address= --http1
```
- Use a http1.1 client instead of http2
