UnityGRPC

Library and tools for using Protobuf and GRPC with unity. Currently only tested with Windows, but runtimes are included for MacOS, Linux, Android and IOS.

Setup

• install .Net Core / .Net 5.0
• Use the Unity Package Manager -> + -> add package from git UTL-> [email protected]:donnerlab1/UnityGRPC.git (this might take some time as it needs to download the grpc runtimes)
• If you want to look at the samples, either clone this repo and add it to your Project or go the the releases page and download the latest assetbundle

Usage

• Create protofiles

• Fill them with your (protobuf messages)[https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3] and (grpc services)[https://www.grpc.io/docs/languages/csharp/basics/]
• Unity Toolbar -> UnityGRPC -> Compile protos

• You are now able to use the generated client and server code

unitygrpc's Issues

WebGL Support?

Great work on this, will there be Unity WebGL support?

Small update to instructions to make it work with the Package Manager

First, this plugin works wonderfully. Thank you for making it!

The only hiccup I ran into was Unity doesn't like the git path the instructions mention. The instructions say to enter [email protected]:donnerlab1/UnityGRPC.git into Package Manager, but I needed to enter https://github.com/donnerlab1/UnityGRPC.git.
