* don't replace extern_path'd paths tonic-build will replace all paths except for google well known types with one rooted at the super module. For paths that have already been replaced with a fully qualified path via the extern_path config option, (e.g. "::uuid::Uuid"), this results in an invalid path (e.g. "super::::uuid::Uuid"), and a build failure. These paths should also be excluded when prefixing relative modules with super. * add doc in tonic-build clarifying extern_path extern_path expects fully qualified proto and rust paths * add test cast case for extern path fix add a test that extern path does indeed result in service types using the specified type from an external crate. we test this by creating a service type that has a proto from a different crate, and asserting that it does indeed impl a trait from that crate * add license/publish to extern_path test crates
A rust implementation of gRPC, a high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first.
tonic is a gRPC over HTTP/2 implementation focused on high performance, interoperability, and flexibility. This library was created to have first class support of async/await and to act as a core building block for production systems written in Rust.

Overview
tonic is composed of three main components: the generic gRPC implementation, the high performance HTTP/2
implementation and the codegen powered by prost. The generic implementation can support any HTTP/2
implementation and any encoding via a set of generic traits. The HTTP/2 implementation is based on hyper,
a fast HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 client and server built on top of the robust tokio stack. The codegen
contains the tools to build clients and servers from protobuf definitions.
Features
- Bi-directional streaming
- High performance async io
- Interoperability
- TLS backed by
rustls - Load balancing
- Custom metadata
- Authentication
Getting Started
Examples can be found in examples and for more complex scenarios interop
may be a good resource as it shows examples of many of the gRPC features.
Rust Version
tonic currently works on rust 1.39 and above as it requires support for the async_await
feature.
$ rustup update
$ rustup component add rustfmt
$ cargo build
