Package Exports

protobuf.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (protobuf.js) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Protobuf.js

This is an extremely lightweight, stripped down, ugly implementation of protocol buffers written specifically for use in making a Riak library. As such, it lacks support for many of the data types, and handles a few Riak specific fields in special ways (vclocks, for one). I will happily accept pull requests to make it more compatible with the full spec.

What it does:

parses .proto files to build a schema (including imports) in a very very rough way
encodes objects to buffers
decodes buffers to objects
supports the string/bytes and varint types

What it does not do:

have full support for every directive in .proto files
have support for any types other than varint or string/bytes
make your breakfast

Usage

var protobuf = require('protobuf.js'),
    translator = protobuf.loadSchema('./riak_kv.proto');

var msg = translator.encode('RpbGetReq', { bucket: 'test', key: 'test' });
//msg will *only* contain the protobuf encoded message, *NOT* the full riak packet

var decoded = translator.decode('RpbGetResp', responsePacket);
//again, this will *only* decode the protobuf message. you have to remove the riak header yourself
