Proposal: Support for grpc-web

[CosminSontu]

Currently htmx supports AJAX, WebSockets, SSE, but not grpc-web.

I think that would be very useful.
I also think it's possible to use grpc-web using some kind of event-based workaround, but it would be great to have first-class support.

I apologize if there's already an issue on grpc-web or a documented way to do grpc-web with htmx, I just did not find it.

Cheers!

It could be done through extending htmx , it would probably have to be extended anyway in order to serialize/deserialize any grpc messages.

I could be wrong but grpc and protocol buffers requiring serialization/deserialization don't seem to fit the vision of hypermedia?

It's true, but same can be said about WebSockets for example. Should be ok as long as it serves html.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to create example using gRPC and htmx
extension, but don't know how I can paste my response from backend into DOM (here).

My knowledge of Javascript is not sufficient to complete this example. Help pls)).

Upd: I received string(html) from gRPC,and call selectAndSwap method from htmx.js api. And it's work!
