README

protoc-gen-nano

This is protobuf code generation for nano. We use protoc-gen-nano to reduce boilerplate code.

Install

go install github.com/pthethanh/nano/cmd/protoc-gen-nano

Also required:

• protoc
• protoc-gen-go

Usage

1. Define your proto file normally
2. Generate code with option "nano_out"
3. Add option --nano_opt generate_gateway=true if you want to generate the gateway registration
4. Register your service with nano server

LICENSE

protoc-gen-nano is a liberal reuse of protoc-gen-go hence we maintain the original license

Documentation

Overview

protoc-gen-nano is a plugin for the Google protocol buffer compiler to generate Go code. Run it by building this program and putting it in your path with the name

protoc-gen-nano

That word 'micro' at the end becomes part of the option string set for the protocol compiler, so once the protocol compiler (protoc) is installed you can run

protoc --nano_out=output_directory --go_out=output_directory input_directory/file.proto

to generate go-micro code for the protocol defined by file.proto. With that input, the output will be written to

output_directory/file.nano.go

The generated code is documented in the package comment for the library.
