Angular service code gen

An utility tool to generate an angular REST client from the protobuf spec service definitions used by grpc-gateway.

Usage

Setup

Ensure that you have your $GOPATH set as the protoc toolchain seems to be unable to resolve imports that are resolved through modules. You must provide the imports that are specified inside the input proto file to the protoc binary using the -I options. You might also have to set your $GOBIN.

Install the protoc-gen-angular binary by running:

go build && go install

Otherwise you can install it using go mod as such:

go get github.com/heroiclabs/nakama/console/protoc-gen-angular

Options

Options are passed to the protoc flag in the following way: --angular_out=service_name=foo,filename=bar.ts:..

• filename: The filename for the generated output.
• service_name: The name of the generated TypeScript service class.

Generate the Angular service

Example

protoc -I. -I$GOPATH/src/github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/third_party/googleapis -I$GOPATH/src/github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway -I../vendor --angular_out=filename=console.service.ts,service_name=ConsoleService:. <input file.proto>

The output file is: console.service.ts.

Limitations

The code generator has only been checked against a limited set of grpc-gateway service definitions and might have trouble handling nested enumerables inside message definitions YMMV.
