我可以使用空请求或响应定义 grpc 调用吗?

Can I define a grpc call with a null request or response?

proto3 中的 rpc 语法是否允许空请求或响应?

例如我想要以下等价物:

rpc Logout;
rpc Status returns (Status);
rpc Log (LogData);

或者我应该只创建一个空类型吗?

message Null {};

rpc Logout (Null) returns (Null);
rpc Status (Null) returns (Status);
rpc Log (LogData) returns (Null);

Kenton 下面的评论是中肯的建议:

... we as developers are really bad at guessing what we might want in the future. So I recommend being safe by always defining custom params and results types for every method, even if they are empty.


回答我自己的问题:

查看默认原型文件,我发现 Empty 与我上面建议的 Null 类型完全一样:)

该文件的摘录:

// A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated
// empty messages in your APIs. A typical example is to use it as the request
// or the response type of an API method. For instance:
//
//     service Foo {
//       rpc Bar(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty);
//     }
//

message Empty {

}

您还可以在 Reply 结构中使用另一个 bool 属性。像这样

message Reply {
  string result = 1;
  bool found = 2;
}

所以如果您找不到结果或发生了一些错误,您可以 return 从服务 class this

return new Reply()
{
   Found = false
};

您也可以使用预定义的:

import "google/protobuf/empty.proto";
package MyPackage;

service MyService {
  rpc Check(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
}
