## Building ## Building
$ cd google/protobuf/compiler/kotlin To build Protobuf Compiler (here and below "protoc") you should have Google Protobuf libraries installed.
You can check if your system meet requirements launching "pre-build" script
$ proto/compiler/pre-build.sh
$ make $ make
This will build current version of .proto compiler, placed as *protoc* executable file in current directory. Script will ask you for your permission to install prerequisites automatically.
*Note:* You need g++ and protobuf installed (-lprotoc used for linking) Note that this process requires pulling official google-protobuf repository from Github, then building it from scratch (which, in turn,
can require addition packages installation, like libtool, autoreconf, etc), and then installing it into your system. Make sure that you
have superuser permissions.
After you have finished installation of all prerequisites, you can launch Makefile that will build ProtoKot library.
$ cd proto/compiler/pre-build.sh
$ make
This will produce build/ folder, where you can find three artifacts: executable proto-compiler protoc, runtime library protokot-runtime.jar
and symlink to runtime sources folder (in case you want to link against source files, not jar)
$ cd build
$ ls
protoc* protokot-runtime.jar sources@
Usage of ProtoKot consists of two main steps:
1. Compiling .proto-file in .kt-file with protoc
2. Linking your code against Protokot Runtime Library (needed by generated classes)
## Using compiler ## Using compiler
$ ./protoc kotlin_out==$(DST_DIR) $(PATH_TO_PROTO) $ ./protoc --kotlin_out=$(DST_DIR) $(PATH_TO_PROTO)/$(PROTO_FILE) -I $(PATH_TO_PROTO)
where $(DST_DIR) stands for path to place, where generated files should be stored, and $(PATH_TO_PROTO) stands for path to .proto-file. where $(DST_DIR) stands for path to place, where generated files should be stored, $(PATH_TO_PROTO) stands for path to .proto-file, and $(PROTO_FILE)
is .proto-file name. Note that you should specify $(PATH_TO_PROTO) second time using "-I" directive.
## Linking with Kotlin-runtime
In folder /src/ you can find sources for ProtoKot-runtime, that will be used by generated messages.
## Using generated code ## Using generated code
Example: Example:
```java ```java
// Messages work only with CodedStream classes, provided by ProtoKot-runtime library.
// One can create CodedStream passing any instance of corresponding Stream from Java's library.
val s = ByteArrayOutputStream()
val outs = CodedOutputStream(s)
// All messages are immutable. Use Builders for creating new messages // All messages are immutable. Use Builders for creating new messages
val msg = Person.BuilderPerson() // Currently you have to pass default arguments to Builders constructor by yourself. This will be changed in future.
.setEmail("wtf@dasda.com") // all setters return this builder, so you could chain modifiers in LINQ-style val msg = Person.BuilderPerson("", 0, "")
.setId(42) // all setters return "this" builder so you can chain modifiers in LINQ-style
.setName("John Doe") .setEmail("wtf@dasda.com")
.setPhones(arrayOf( // repeated fields stored as Array<>, so use arrayOf() for creating repeated fields .setId(42)
Person.PhoneNumber.BuilderPhoneNumber() .setName("John Doe")
.setNumber("342143-23423-42") // don't forget to call build() to produce message
.setType(Person.PhoneType.HOME) .build()
.build()
)) // Messages work only with CodedStream classes, provided by ProtoKot-runtime library.
.build() // don't forget to call build() to produce message // You can create CodedStream passing reference to ByteArray.
// To get serialized size of message (in bytes) use Message.getSizeNoTag() method
val byteArray = ByteArray(msg.getSizeNoTag())
val outs = CodedOutputStream(byteArray)
msg.writeTo(outs) msg.writeTo(outs)
// Now let's use output stream as input to read our message from it! // InputStreams are created in some manner.
var ins = CodedInputStream(ByteArrayInputStream(s.toByteArray())) // WARNING! You have to pass reference to the buffer containing *ONLY* message and *NOTHING* except the message.
// That mean, trailing cells containing some trash are forbidden - you will be getting errors if you try to parse message from such buffer.
var ins = CodedInputStream(byteArray)
// Create default instance of message // Parse message from input stream
var readMsg = Person.BuilderPerson().build() var readMsg = Person.BuilderPerson(0, "", 0).parseFrom(ins).build()
// Read in that message data from input stream.
readMsg.mergeFrom(ins)
// Note, that currently mergeFrom is the only way to mutate instance of message.
// Don't rely on it, probably mergeFrom will be refactored lately to guarantee full immutability of mesages.
// Better way to read a message:
ins = CodedInputStream(ByteArrayInputStream(s.toByteArray()))
readMsg = Person.BuilderPerson().readFrom(ins).build()
assert(msg == readMsg) assert(msg == readMsg)
``` ```
