Using a GRPC client creates a stream. An important note that the client should be already connected (client.connect called) to the server before creating a stream.

MethodDescription
Stream(client, url, [,params])Using a GRPC client creates a stream.
Stream.write(message)Writes a message to the stream.
Stream.on(event, handler)Set up handler functions for various events on the GRPC stream.
Stream.end()Signals to the server that the client has finished sending.

Examples

A k6 script that sends several randomly chosen points from the pre-generated feature database with a variable delay in between. Prints the statistics when they are sent from the server.

grpc-client-streaming.js
import { Client, Stream } from 'k6/experimental/grpc';
import { sleep } from 'k6';
const COORD_FACTOR = 1e7;
const GRPC_ADDR = __ENV.GRPC_ADDR || '127.0.0.1:10000';
const GRPC_PROTO_PATH = __ENV.GRPC_PROTO_PATH || '../../grpc_server/route_guide.proto';
const client = new Client();
client.load([], GRPC_PROTO_PATH);
// a sample DB of points
const DB = [

A k6 script that sends a rectangle message and results (features) are streamed back to the client.

grpc-server-streaming.js
import { Client, Stream } from 'k6/experimental/grpc';
import { sleep } from 'k6';
const COORD_FACTOR = 1e7;
const GRPC_ADDR = __ENV.GRPC_ADDR || '127.0.0.1:10000';
const GRPC_PROTO_PATH = __ENV.GRPC_PROTO_PATH || '../../grpc_server/route_guide.proto';
const client = new Client();
client.load([], GRPC_PROTO_PATH);
export default () => {
client.connect(GRPC_ADDR, { plaintext: true });
const stream = new Stream(client, 'main.FeatureExplorer/ListFeatures', null);
stream.on('data', function (feature) {
console.log(
'Found feature called "' +
feature.name +
'" at ' +
feature.location.latitude / COORD_FACTOR +
', ' +
feature.location.longitude / COORD_FACTOR
);
});
stream.on('end', function () {
// The server has finished sending
client.close();
console.log('All done');
});
stream.on('error', function (e) {
// An error has occurred and the stream has been closed.
console.log('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(e));
});
// send a message to the server
stream.write({
lo: {
latitude: 400000000,
longitude: -750000000,
},
hi: {
latitude: 420000000,
longitude: -730000000,
},
});
sleep(0.5);
};

The preceding examples use a demo server, which you can run with the following command (Golang should be installed) in k6 repository's root:

$ go run -mod=mod examples/grpc_server/*.go
