or

yarn add protobuf-to-data-classes

Coding

A code example:

import { convertProtobufToDataClasses, DataClassType } from 'protobuf-to-data-classes';

const content = `
syntax = 'proto3';
message Foo {
  string bar = 1;
}
`;

generatedCode = convertProtobufToDataClasses(content, DataClassType.KotlinGson);
console.log(generatedCode);

The resulted code:

import com.google.gson.annotations.Expose
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName

data class Foo(
    @Expose
    @SerializedName("bar")
    val bar: String?,
)

API

`convertProtobufToDataClasses(protobuf: string, dataClassType: DataClassType): string

Generate corresponding data classes for the given protobuf content.

TODO

• Support more options for data classes.
• Refactor code because the current code base is not good :].
• Create a simple web app.
