pb-from-json

Convert js objects to proto objects, useful to use with grpc-web

Official js protobuf have this issue actively discussed:

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/1591

protocolbuffers/protobuf#5449

Once the above issues are resolved, this package doesn't need to exist

example:

import { PingRequest } from 'my-service-pb'
import pbFromJson from 'pb-from-json'

const obj = {
    a: 'a',
    b: 'b'
}

const pbObj = pbFromJson(PingRequest, obj)

nested example:

import {PingRequest, PingSubRequest} from 'my-service-pb'
import pbFromJson from 'pb-from-json'

const obj = {
    a: 'a',
    b: {
        c: 'c'
    }
}
const pbObj = pbFromJson(PingRequest, obj, {'b.ctors':PingSubRequest})
