Examples

See each example directory for more info.

You can generate these examples like:

# example usage, assumes protoc and other dependencies unrelated to codegen are already installed

cd ~

# if necessary, install the official go plugin
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest

# we need the example proto
git clone https://github.com/joeycumines/protoc-gen-go-copy.git

cd protoc-gen-go-copy

# and we may as well install the go-copy plugin from the same source
go install

# generate the code, into the same directory as the proto file, see also the root readme, and google's reference docs
find examples -type f -name '*.proto' -exec \
    protoc \
    --experimental_allow_proto3_optional \
    --proto_path=. --go_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-copy_out=. --go-copy_opt=paths=source_relative \
    {} +

# validate the generated code
go vet ./...
staticcheck ./...

# clean up the generated code like
find examples -type f -name '*.pb.go' -delete
