BDLedger gRPC API

Generating gRPC code in languages

Installling tools

Download the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc-3.11.4-*) for your platform and add protoc to PATH environment variable

For generating Go code:

GIT_TAG="v1.4.0-rc.4"
go get -d -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
git -C "$(go env GOPATH)"/src/github.com/golang/protobuf checkout $GIT_TAG
go install github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

(Update to google.golang.org/protobuf when https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/pull/3435 resolves)

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

For generating Node.js code:

npm install -g grpc-tools 

For generating TypeScript definitions, also run:

npm install -g protoc-gen-ts

For frontend JavaScript:

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