Command

Command: Proto

Generate:

• NodeJs source codes
• Typescript d.ts definitions of previous js codes
• Swagger json

from proto files.

matrix proto [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help             output usage information
    -V, --version          output the version number
    -p, --proto <dir>      directory of source proto files
    -o, --output <dir>     directory to output codes
    -i, --import <items>   third party proto import path: e.g path1,path2,path3
    -e, --exclude <items>  files or paths in -p shall be excluded: e.g file1,path1,path2,file2
    -j, --javascript       add -j to output javascript codes
    -t, --typescript       add -t to output typescript d.ts definitions
    -s, --swagger          add -s to output swagger json
    -a, --all              also parse & output all proto files in import path?

Command: grpc

Generate:

• Nodejs source code for creating the GRPC client
• Nodejs source code for creating the GRPC server api
• Nodejs source code for creating the KOA gateway api

from proto files.

matrix grpc [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help              output usage information
    -V, --version           output the version number

    -c, --client            add -c to output grpc client source codes
    -s, --server            add -s to output grpc server source codes
    -g, --gateway           add -g to output gateway router api source codes
    -d, --deepSearchLevel <number> 	add -d to parse swagger definition depth, default: 5
    

Simple

Simple：Generate js codes

matrix proto \
--proto ./examples/proto \
--output ./examples/output \
--import ./examples/proto_modules \
--exclude ./examples/proto_modules/google \
--javascript
--all

Simple：Generate d.ts codes

matrix proto \
--proto ./examples/proto \
--output ./examples/output \
--import ./examples/proto_modules \
--exclude ./examples/proto_modules/google \
--typescript
--all

Simple：Generate swagger json

grpc-gateway is a 3rd framework. We need a sub tool protoc-gen-swagger from this framework, to generate swagger json from proto files.

• Gateway tool is built with golang. So install it first, download here.
• Then setup GOPATH following this.

// install protoc-gen-swagger
go get -u github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-swagger

matrix proto \
--proto ./examples/proto \
--output ./examples/output \
--import ./examples/proto_modules \
--exclude ./examples/proto_modules/google \
--swagger
--all

Simple：Generate grpc server codes

matrix grpc \
--proto ./examples/proto \
--output ./examples/output \
--import ./examples/proto_modules \
--exclude ./examples/proto_modules/google \
--server

Simple：Generate grpc client codes

matrix grpc \
--proto ./examples/proto \
--output ./examples/output \
--import ./examples/proto_modules \
--exclude ./examples/proto_modules/google \
--client
