The Tool That Completes GRPC
Tap Rpc is a tool that aids in proto based dynamic generation of :
- A mock server that sends realistic auto generated mock responses (which can be customized).
- Realtime modification of request and responses. Modify requests from client before it reaches server and modify response from server before it reaches client.
- Provides grpc client to send auto generated mock requests to your services.
Tap-Rpc aims to significantly ease the development and testing efforts for all of frontend, backend devs and also testers.

Installation and Usage :
-
Download the latest release from here : https://github.com/nateshmbhat/tap-rpc/releases
-
In your client app, set the host and port for the grpc service to point to the Tap-Rpc’s ip address and port shown at the middle of the Tap-Rpc window title.
-
Set the default target server URL, which is needed for the monitor and client modes.
-
User selects the proto files containing the services. Once you select proto files, all the services and Rpcs in those services appear in a tree structure and you can select a particular rpc.
-
At this point any requests coming from the client will be forwarded to the default target server in the background.
-
Now your client app is ready to access all the features of Tap-Rpc.
Features
Tap Rpc provides 3 modes of operation :
Mock Rpc mode :
- Automatically setup mock response server by loading proto file
- Generates convincing mock responses based on the properties in the proto
- Supports loading multiple proto files with multiple services and rpcs
- Edit values of generated mock responses based on your need
Monitor mode :
- Monitor requests and responses by acting as the middle man between a grpc client and server
- Edit requests in real time before it reaches the backend server
- Edit response in real time before it reaches back the client
Client mode :
- Test your backend services independently with this client
- Generates convincing Mock Request objects for quick rpc calls
