# googleapis/swift-google-gax-grpc

gRPC transport infrastructure for Google Cloud client libraries in Swift.

## Overview

`GoogleGaxGRPC` provides the gRPC transport layer built on `grpc-swift-2` and `SwiftProtobuf` for Google Cloud client libraries that use gRPC (such as the Google Cloud Storage Control plane).

This package is separated from `swift-google-gax` so that HTTP/REST client libraries depending only on `GoogleGax` do not pull `grpc-swift-2`, `grpc-swift-nio-transport`, `grpc-swift-protobuf`, or `swift-protobuf` into their Swift Package Manager dependency graph.

## Requirements

For the minimum supported Swift version and platform requirements, see the [Requirements](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-swift#minimum-supported-swift-version) section in the `google-cloud-swift` repository.

## Installation

Add `swift-google-gax-grpc` as a package dependency:

```bash swift package add-dependency https://github.com/googleapis/swift-google-gax-grpc.git --from 0.3.0 ```

Then add `GoogleGaxGRPC` to your target's dependencies:

```bash swift package add-target-dependency GoogleGaxGRPC <target-name> --package swift-google-gax-grpc ```
