# ServiceModel.Grpc

`ServiceModel.Grpc` enables applications to communicate with gRPC services using a code-first approach (no .proto files), helps to get around limitations of gRPC protocol like "only reference types", "exact one input", "no nulls", "no value-types". Provides exception handling. Helps to migrate existing WCF solution to gRPC with minimum effort.

The library supports lightweight runtime proxy generation via Reflection.Emit and C# source code generation.

The solution is built on top of [gRPC C#](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/csharp) and [grpc-dotnet](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-dotnet).

## ServiceModel.Grpc at a glance

### Declare a service contract

``` c#
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICalculator
{
[OperationContract]
Task Sum(long x, int y, int z, CancellationToken token = default);

[OperationContract]
ValueTask<(int Multiplier, IAsyncEnumerable Values)> MultiplyBy(IAsyncEnumerable values, int multiplier, CancellationToken token = default);
}
```

### Client call (Reflection.Emit)

A proxy for the ICalculator service will be generated on demand via `Reflection.Emit`.

```powershell
PS> Install-Package ServiceModel.Grpc
```

``` c#
// create a channel
var channel = new Channel("localhost", 5000, ...);

// create a client factory
var clientFactory = new ClientFactory();

// request the factory to generate a proxy for ICalculator service
var calculator = clientFactory.CreateClient(channel);

// call Sum: sum == 6
var sum = await calculator.Sum(1, 2, 3);

// call MultiplyBy: multiplier == 2, values == [] {2, 4, 6}
var (multiplier, values) = await calculator.MultiplyBy(new[] {1, 2, 3}, 2);
```

### Client call (source code generation)

A proxy for the ICalculator service will be generated in the source code.

```powershell
PS> Install-Package ServiceModel.Grpc.DesignTime
```

``` c#
// request ServiceModel.Grpc to generate a source code for ICalculator service proxy
[ImportGrpcService(typeof(ICalculator))]
internal static partial class MyGrpcServices
{
// generated code ...
public static IClientFactory AddCalculatorClient(this IClientFactory clientFactory, Action configure = null) {}
}

// create a channel
var channel = new Channel("localhost", 5000, ...);

// create a client factory
var clientFactory = new ClientFactory();

// register ICalculator proxy generated by ServiceModel.Grpc.DesignTime
clientFactory.AddCalculatorClient();

// create a new instance of the proxy
var calculator = clientFactory.CreateClient(channel);

// call Sum: sum == 6
var sum = await calculator.Sum(1, 2, 3);

// call MultiplyBy: multiplier == 2, values == [] {2, 4, 6}
var (multiplier, values) = await calculator.MultiplyBy(new[] {1, 2, 3}, 2);
```

### Implement a service

``` c#
internal sealed class Calculator : ICalculator
{
public Task Sum(long x, int y, int z, CancellationToken token) => x + y + z;

public ValueTask<(int Multiplier, IAsyncEnumerable Values)> MultiplyBy(IAsyncEnumerable values, int multiplier, CancellationToken token)
{
var multiplicationResult = DoMultiplication(values, multiplier, token);
return new ValueTask<(int, IAsyncEnumerable)>((multiplier, multiplicationResult));
}

private static async IAsyncEnumerable DoMultiplication(IAsyncEnumerable values, int multiplier, [EnumeratorCancellation] CancellationToken token)
{
await foreach (var value in values.WithCancellation(token))
{
yield return value * multiplier;
}
}
}
```

### Host the service in the asp.net core application

```powershell
PS> Install-Package ServiceModel.Grpc.AspNetCore
```

``` c#
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();

// enable ServiceModel.Grpc
builder.Services.AddServiceModelGrpc();

var app = builder.Build();

// bind Calculator service
app.MapGrpcService();
```

Integrate with Swagger, see [example](Examples/Swagger)

![UI demo](Examples/Swagger/calculator-swagger-ui.png)

### Host the service in Grpc.Core.Server

```powershell
PS> Install-Package ServiceModel.Grpc.SelfHost
```

``` c#
var server = new Grpc.Core.Server
{
Ports = { new ServerPort("localhost", 5000, ...) }
};

// bind Calculator service
server.Services.AddServiceModelTransient(() => new Calculator());
```

### Server filters

see [example](Examples/ServerFilters)

``` c#
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();

// setup filter life time
builder.Services.AddSingleton();

// attach the filter globally
builder.Services.AddServiceModelGrpc(options =>
{
options.Filters.Add(1, provider => provider.GetRequiredService());
});

internal sealed class LoggingServerFilter : IServerFilter
{
private readonly ILoggerFactory _loggerFactory;

public LoggingServerFilter(ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
_loggerFactory = loggerFactory;
}

public async ValueTask InvokeAsync(IServerFilterContext context, Func next)
{
// create logger with a service name
var logger = _loggerFactory.CreateLogger(context.ServiceInstance.GetType().Name);

// log input
logger.LogInformation("begin {0}", context.ContractMethodInfo.Name);
foreach (var entry in context.Request)
{
logger.LogInformation("input {0} = {1}", entry.Key, entry.Value);
}

try
{
// invoke all other filters in the stack and the service method
await next().ConfigureAwait(false);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// log exception
logger.LogError("error {0}: {1}", context.ContractMethodInfo.Name, ex);
throw;
}

// log output
logger.LogInformation("end {0}", context.ContractMethodInfo.Name);
foreach (var entry in context.Response)
{
logger.LogInformation("output {0} = {1}", entry.Key, entry.Value);
}
}
}
```

## Benchmarks

ServiceModel.Grpc is a tiny layer on top of grpc-dotnet, which helps to adapt code-first to gRPC protocol. A serializer makes a picture of the performance.

Benchmark code is available [here](/Benchmarks).

The following benchmarks show the performance for `unary call` on client and server.

``` c#
[ServiceContract]
public interface ITestService
{
[OperationContract]
Task PingPong(SomeObject value);
}

value = new SomeObject
{
StringScalar = "some meaningful text",
Int32Scalar = 1,
DateScalar = DateTime.UtcNow,
SingleScalar = 1.1f,
Int32Array = new int[100],
SingleArray = new float[100],
DoubleArray = new double[100]
};
```

- `ServiceModelGrpc.DataContract` test uses DataContractSerializer
- `ServiceModelGrpc.Protobuf` test uses protobuf-net serializer
- `ServiceModelGrpc.MessagePack` test uses MessagePack serializer
- `ServiceModelGrpc.proto-emulation` test uses Google protobuf serialization, the same as `grpc-dotnet`. This test is designed to compare numbers between `ServiceModelGrpc` and `grpc-dotnet` without the influence of a serializer.

- `grpc-dotnet` is a baseline:

``` proto
service TestServiceNative {
rpc PingPong (SomeObjectProto) returns (SomeObjectProto);
}

message SomeObjectProto {
string stringScalar = 1;
google.protobuf.Timestamp dateScalar = 2;
float singleScalar = 3;
int32 int32Scalar = 4;
repeated float singleArray = 5 [packed=true];
repeated int32 int32Array = 6 [packed=true];
repeated double doubleArray = 7 [packed=true];
}
```

### Client async unary call, server is stub
