Protobuf to Go struct literal conversion

The proto2 package provides a single function GoStruct() that returns a Go struct literal representation of a protobuf message. This can be handy if you want to generate Go code from a protobuf message.

Example

// msg is an arbitrary protobuf message
msg := &hotstuff.Proposal{
 Block: &hotstuff.Block{
  Parent:   []byte{1, 2, 3},
  QC:       &hotstuff.QuorumCert{},
  View:     1,
  Command:  []byte{4, 5, 6},
  Proposer: 2,
 },
 AggQC: &hotstuff.AggQC{},
}
fmt.Println(proto2.GoStruct(msg))

This produces the following output:

&hotstuff.Proposal{
 Block: &hotstuff.Block{
  Parent:   []byte{1, 2, 3},
  QC:       &hotstuff.QuorumCert{},
  View:     1,
  Command:  []byte{4, 5, 6},
  Proposer: 2,
 },
 AggQC: &hotstuff.AggQC{},
}
