npm module grpc is deprecated as of April 2021.
The recommended replacement is @grpc/grpc-js.
The replacement is compatible with the use cases presented in JS examples and so switching examples to it requires only changes to the list of npm modules to install and the imports.
Source for deprecation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/grpc
Source for replacement and compatibility information: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grpc/grpc-js
To avoid a naming conflict with etcd, we rename our very generic
rpc.proto to lightning.proto to match the service name that's declared
within. This will break many external tutorials and possibly also our
API docs but the change needs to be done eventually.
This commit adds a basic set of instructions for installing the necessary
gRPC dependencies to be able to drive `lnd` from node.js. In the future,
this section will be expanded with additional example
scripts/applications.
