[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 either 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(
        grpc_ctxtags.StreamServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_opentracing.StreamServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_prometheus.StreamServerInterceptor,
        grpc_zap.StreamServerInterceptor(zapLogger),
        grpc_auth.StreamServerInterceptor(myAuthFunction),
        grpc_recovery.StreamServerInterceptor(),
    )),
    grpc.UnaryInterceptor(grpc_middleware.ChainUnaryServer(
        grpc_ctxtags.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_opentracing.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_prometheus.UnaryServerInterceptor,
        grpc_zap.UnaryServerInterceptor(zapLogger),
        grpc_auth.UnaryServerInterceptor(myAuthFunction),
        grpc_recovery.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
    )),
)
```

## 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.


#### 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
   * [`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.
