## Vert.x gRPC/IO Server

Vert.x gRPC/IO Server extends the Vert.x gRPC server with grpc-java integration.

This server provides compatibility with the grpc-java generated stub approach with a service bridge.

### Using Vert.x gRPC/IO Server

To use Vert.x gRPC/IO Server, add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your build descriptor:

- Maven (in your `pom.xml`):

    <dependency>
     <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
     <artifactId>vertx-grpcio-server</artifactId>
     <version>4.5.17</version>
    </dependency>

- Gradle (in your `build.gradle` file):

    dependencies {
     compile 'io.vertx:vertx-grpcio-server:4.5.17'
    }

### Service bridge

The Vert.x gRPC Server can bridge a gRPC service to use with grpc-java generated server classes.

    GrpcIoServer grpcServer = GrpcIoServer.server(vertx);

    GreeterGrpc.GreeterImplBase service = new GreeterGrpc.GreeterImplBase() {
      @Override
      public void sayHello(HelloRequest request, StreamObserver<HelloReply> responseObserver) {
        responseObserver.onNext(HelloReply.newBuilder().setMessage("Hello " + request.getName()).build());
        responseObserver.onCompleted();
      }
    };

    // Bind the service bridge in the gRPC server
    GrpcIoServiceBridge serverStub = GrpcIoServiceBridge.bridge(service);
    serverStub.bind(grpcServer);

    // Start the HTTP/2 server
    vertx.createHttpServer(options)
      .requestHandler(grpcServer)
      .listen();

The bridge supports deadline automatic cancellation: when a gRPC request carrying a timeout is received, a deadline is associated with the `io.grpc.Context` an can be obtained from the current context. This deadline automatically cancels the request in progress when its associated timeout fires.
