Deleting streams via gRPC client instead of HTTP

Hi everyone,

I want to delete streams for the first time and I currently use the Golang gRPC client.
The gRPC client does not support this yet, right?
The HTTP client supports it but I saw the deprecation warning, so it doesn’t really feel good to use it.

Can you tell me when you plan to deprecate the HTTP API and if/when there will be a gRPC replacement?

Thank you for the great documentation and the good examples, it’s easy to work with the gRPC clients in Go.

Best regards and thank you for your time.

the go client can delete streams:

github.com

EventStore/EventStore-Client-Go/blob/master/esdb/delete_test.go#L19


	"github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)

func DeleteTests(t *testing.T, db *esdb.Client) {
	t.Run("DeleteTests", func(t *testing.T) {
		t.Run("canDeleteStream", canDeleteStream(db))
		t.Run("canTombstoneStream", canTombstoneStream(db))
		t.Run("detectStreamDeleted", detectStreamDeleted(db))
	})
}
func canDeleteStream(db *esdb.Client) TestCall {
	return func(t *testing.T) {
		opts := esdb.DeleteStreamOptions{
			ExpectedRevision: esdb.Revision(0),
		}

		streamID := NAME_GENERATOR.Generate()

		_, err := db.AppendToStream(context.Background(), streamID, esdb.AppendToStreamOptions{}, createTestEvent())
		assert.NoError(t, err)
		deleteResult, err := db.DeleteStream(context.Background(), streamID, opts)
