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
The compiler creates a single source file for each .proto file input that is provided on the command line. The name of the output file is the name of the corresponding .proto file where the .proto extension is replaced with .pb.go.
Arguments
--go_out
The directory where you want the compiler to write the Go output.
