# gRPCox
[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/gusaul/grpcox)
turn [gRPCurl](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl) into web based UI, extremely easy to use
## Features
- Recognize and provide list of services and methods inside it as an options.
- Automatically recognize schema input and compose it into JSON based. (ensure your gRPC server supports [server reflection](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/proto/grpc/reflection/v1alpha/reflection.proto)). Examples for how to set up server reflection can be found [here](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/server-reflection.md#known-implementations).
- Save established connection, and reuse it for next invoke/request (also can close/restart connection)
## Installation
### Docker Compose
from terminal, move to grpcox directory, then run command
```shell
docker-compose up
```
if you're using docker and want to connect gRPC on your local machine, then use
`host.docker.internal:` instead of `localhost`
### Golang
if you have golang installed on your local machine, just run command
```shell
make start
```
configure app preferences by editing `config.env` file
| var | usage | type | unit |
