protoc

To use protoc-gen-gorm with protoc, make sure protoc-gen-gorm is in your path (see Install) and invoke protoc with --gorm_out=dir, where dir is your desired output directory for the files that protoc-gen-gorm generates.

For this example we invoke (go generate):

protoc -Iprotos --go_out=./ --gorm_out=./ protos/models.proto

This compiles our GORM v2 model (and Go bindings) that we make use of in main.go:

alice := &pb.UserModel{Name: "Alice"}
db.Create(alice)

When run:

$ go generate
$ go run main.go
...
Created first user: Alice

$ go run main.go
The first user is: Alice
