Currently, there is no support for bidirectional streaming in gRPC-web.

You could follow the following thread if you're interested: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/issues/24

Thanks :)

UPDATE (04/2023): In the latest streaming roadmap, it's decided that WebTransport will be used for future support of bi-directional streaming in gRPC-Web.

Remark: WebTransport is for HTTP/3 while this gRPC-web is for HTTP/2
        In fact, WebTransport want to be variant for websocket and is compatible with QUIC.
        WebTransport have streaming support and is bidirectional(client-server paradigm).
