protobufModels

Storage of protobuf .proto files that generate *.go files independent of the implementation projects. Helps keep the requirement out of the other projects build.

prerequisites

to assure that the tools are already installed for protobufs, i recommend

• using go 1.12+
• unset GOPATH from environment variables
• go get -u google.golang.org/grpc
• go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
• add the newly compiled go plugin to your path export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin //default install on OSX

modify .proto files

anytime you modify the protobuf definition files, just regen all the native go files

protoc -I . helloProto.proto --go_out=plugins=grpc:.
