Blazor WASM: Support for gRPC-Web developer tooling in Chrome

[ChristianWeyer]

For plain JS clients we can use this tool to debug and analyze gRPC-Web right in Chrome:

Are there any plans to have a similar tool for gRPC-Web in Blazor WASM?

Thanks,

No plans at the moment.

It might be possible to replicate the logic here - https://github.com/SafetyCulture/grpc-web-devtools/blob/c5a71e2168c40eb55aa094402e519580e109528d/public/content-script.js - and send events to the window using a .NET interceptor. That would allow the same extension to be reused for JS and WASM.

Hi James,

first congrats on releasing a great gRPC stack in .NET 5 :-)
Do you already know whether you can and will be working on the tooling above?

Thanks.

No plans at the moment. There hasn't been much developer interest so it isn't a high priority.

[ChristianWeyer]

OK, thanks.

FYI:
There is now a PoC showing how to do this integration:
