gibson

Gibson a Golang micro services framework

Things to remember Be sure to run the gibson plugin first to create the directory structure

protoc \
    -I $HOME/googleapis \
    --proto_path=. \
    --go_out=pkg/pb \
    --go_opt=paths=source_relative \
    --go-grpc_out=pkg/pb \
    --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative \
    hello.proto

Since protoc can be a bit confusing, let be explain

• -I <path> tells the compile where to search for the imported file, In my example I have placed them in $HOME/googleapis. You can download these files here. The annotations.proto file is needed in order to describe HTTP routes for the Methods of the Service.
• --proto_path=<path> tells the compile where to look for the proto file. If you run this command inside the example/ dir, the path should be ., this flag is required because protoc will otherwise look inside the -I directory.
• --go_out and --go-grpc_out invokes the the protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc plugins.
• go_out=pahts=<path> and --go-grpc_opt=paths=<path> adds some necessary flags for the go and grpc plugins.
• hello.proto Finaly the path to the proto file.
