Generating gRPC code in languages

Installling tools

Download the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc-3.17.3-*)+ for your platform and add protoc to PATH environment variable

For generating Go code, install protoc-gen-go (v1.27.1+):

GIT_TAG="v1.27.1"
go get -d -u google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go
git -C "$(go env GOPATH)"/src/google.golang.org/protobuf checkout $GIT_TAG
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go

Also install protoc-gen-go-grpc v1.1.0+:

go get -u google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc

Or install using gobin:

gobin google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go
gobin google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc

For generating HTTP JSON APIs with grpc-gateway, follow the documentation.

For generating validators install go-proto-validators:

go get github.com/mwitkow/go-proto-validators/protoc-gen-govalidators

For generating Java code: From bdledger-sdk-java run gradle generateProto

For generating Node.js code (and TypeScript definitions), install Node.js then run:

npm install

For frontend JavaScript:

git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web
cd grpc-web
sudo make install-plugin

TODO: Look into protobuf.js for Nodes.js and frontend TODO: Look into Kroto+ for Kotlin

Generating code

Run:

./scripts/gen [-a, --async] [go] [gohttp] [nodejs] [docs]

Use -a or --async to speed up generation by asynchronously and concurrently generating all code and documentation (script will exit without waiting for completion)

Generateing documentation

Install Go then run:

go get -u github.com/pseudomuto/protoc-gen-doc/cmd/protoc-gen-doc
./scripts/gen [-a, --async] docs
