GAPIC Showcase
GAPIC Showcase is an API that demonstrates Generated API Client (GAPIC) features
and common API patterns used by Google. It follows the Cloud APIs design
guide. This project provides a server
and client implementation of the API that can be run locally over both gRPC and
HTTP/JSON.
Installation
The GAPIC Showcase CLI can be installed using three different mechanisms:
pulling a docker image from Google Container Registry,
downloading the compiled binary from our our releases
page, or simply by installing from source using go.
Docker
$ docker pull gcr.io/gapic-images/gapic-showcase:latest
$ docker run \
--rm \
-p 7469:7469/tcp \
-p 7469:7469/udp \

Schema
The schema of GAPIC Showcase API can be found in schema/google/showcase/v1beta1
Its dependencies can be found in the googleapis/api-common-protos
submodule.
Development Environment
To set up this repository for local development, follow these steps:
-
Install protoc
from the protobuf release page
or your OS package manager. This API utilizes proto3_optional
, thus v3.12.0
is the minimum supported version of protoc
.
-
Initialize the api-common-protos
submodule:
git submodule update --init --recursive
-
Install Go
- Linux:
sudo apt-get install golang
- Mac, Windows, or other options: Please see the official set-up docs.
-
Clone this repository.
-
Set up Go protobuf tools:
go install github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
go install github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-go/cmd/protoc-gen-go_cli
go install github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-go/cmd/protoc-gen-go_gapic
-
Export the Go binaries to your environment path.
PATH=$PATH:`go env GOPATH`/bin
-
To compile the Showcase binary, as well as associated development utilities in this repository, run the following after you make changes:
go install ./...
Making changes to the protos
If there are any changes to the protobuf files, the generated support code must
be regenerated. This can be done by executing the following command:
go install ./util/cmd/... && go run ./util/cmd/compile_protos
If successful, you may see changes in the following directories:
server/genproto
server/genrest
client/
cmd/gapic-showcase
Then, update the binaries:
go install ./...
Quick Start
This quick start guide will show you how to start the server and make a request to it.
Step 1. Run the server
Run the showcase server to allow requests to be sent to it. This opens port :7469 to
send and receive requests.
$ gapic-showcase run
> 2018/09/19 02:13:09 Showcase listening on port: :7469
Step 2. Make a request
Open a new terminal window and make a request to the server.
$ gapic-showcase \
identity \ # Service name
create-user \ # Message name
--user.display_name Rumble \ # Request fields
--user.email rumble@goodboi.com
> name:"users/0" display_name:"Rumble" email:"rumble@goodboi.com" create_time:<seconds:1554414332 nanos:494679000 > update_time:<seconds:1554414332 nanos:494679000 >
Note: You can make requests to this server from your own client but an insecure channel
must be used since the server does not implement auth. Client library generators with
Showcase-based integration tests need to provide the insecure channel to the client library
in the tests.
Example for Node.js:
const grpc = require('@grpc/grpc-js');
const showcase = require('showcase');
const client = new showcase.EchoClient({ grpc, sslCreds: grpc.credentials.createInsecure() });
Example for Go:
conn, err := grpc.Dial("localhost:7469", grpc.WithInsecure())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
opt := option.WithGRPCConn(conn)
client, err = showcase.NewEchoClient(context.Background(), opt)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Released Artifacts
GAPIC Showcase releases three main artifacts, a CLI tool, the gapic-showcase
service protobuf files staged alongside its dependencies, and a protocol buffer
descriptor set compiled from the gapic-showcase service protos.
Check out our releases page to see our released artifacts.
Versioning
GAPIC Showcase follows semantic versioning. All artifacts that are
released for a certain version are guaranteed to be compatible with one another.
Releases
Releases are made by release-please
based on the contents of the Conventional Commits made to the project. Assets
are then uploaded to the releases that are created.
Supported Go Versions
GAPIC Showcase is supported for go versions 1.16 and later.
