proto

Documentation

Overview

Package proto contains protocol buffers that are exchanged between the client and server.

Generating Protocol Buffer Code

Anytime the Protocol Buffer definitions change, the generated Go code must be regenerated. This can be done with "go generate". Just run:

go generate ./...

Upstream documentation: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/go-generated

Code Generation Dependencies

To generate the Go code, your system must have "protoc" installed. See: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf#protocol-compiler-installation

The "protoc-gen-go" tool must also be installed. To install it, run:

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go

If you see a 'protoc-gen-go: program not found or is not executable' error for the 'go generate' command, run the following:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc
source $HOME/.bashrc
