Overview

The Go code that supports the data types defined in the .proto files is generated withe the compiler is invoked with the go_out flag, as shown below, and the Go plugin is installed.

Installation

The generic compiler must be installed with TODO.

To generate Go code, the Go plugin must be installed with: 

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

This will install a protoc-gen-go binary in ${GOBIN}.

Code Generation

  protoc \
    --go_out=./pkg/person \
    --proto_path=./proto \
    --go_opt=Mperson.proto=. \
    ./proto/person.proto
