decode-protobuf

A javascript library for decoding protobuf messages without requiring the .proto file definitions. You get one big javascipt object to sort through.

It will not:

• create .proto file definitions
• work as a protobuf client in any manner

This is a "port" (the code is 99% the same) of the pertinent code from the protobuf-decoder React project packaged for re-use.

Installation

npm install decode-protobuf

Usage

const { decodeProtobuf, parseInput } = require("decode-protobuf");

// Decode a binary protobuf message
const decoded = decodeProtobuf(parseInput(binaryData));
console.log(decoded);

You can, for example, take a got response body, feed it into decodeProtobuf and get an object.
