# grpc-health-check
Health check client and service for use with gRPC-node.
## Background
This package provides an implementation of the [gRPC Health Checking Protocol](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/health-checking.md) service, as described in [gRFC L106](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/L106-node-heath-check-library.md).
## Installation
Use the package manager [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm) to install `grpc-health-check`.
```bash
npm install grpc-health-check
```
## Usage
### Server
Any gRPC-node server can use `grpc-health-check` to adhere to the gRPC Health Checking Protocol.
The following shows how this package can be added to a pre-existing gRPC server.
```typescript
// Import package
import { HealthImplementation, ServingStatusMap } from 'grpc-health-check';
// Define service status map. Key is the service name, value is the corresponding status.
// By convention, the empty string '' key represents that status of the entire server.
const statusMap = {
'ServiceFoo': 'SERVING',
'ServiceBar': 'NOT_SERVING',
'': 'NOT_SERVING',
};
// Construct the service implementation
const healthImpl = new HealthImplementation(statusMap);
healthImpl.addToServer(server);
// When ServiceBar comes up
healthImpl.setStatus('serviceBar', 'SERVING');
```
Congrats! Your server now allows any client to run a health check against it.
### Client
Any gRPC-node client can use the `service` object exported by `grpc-health-check` to generate clients that can make health check requests.
### Command Line Usage
The absolute path to `health.proto` can be obtained on the command line with `node -p 'require("grpc-health-check").protoPath'`.
