Package Exports

protocol-buffers-schema

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 (protocol-buffers-schema) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

protocol-buffers-schema

No nonsense protocol buffers schema parser written in Javascript

npm install protocol-buffers-schema

Usage

First save the following file as example.proto

syntax = "proto2";

message Point {
  required int32 x = 1;
  required int32 y=2;
  optional string label = 3;
}

message Line {
  required Point start = 1;
  required Point end = 2;
  optional string label = 3;
}

The run the following example

var fs = require('fs')
var schema = require('protocol-buffers-schema')

// pass a buffer or string to schema.parse
var sch = schema.parse(fs.readFileSync('example.proto'))

// will print out the schema as a javascript object
console.log(sch)

Running the above example will print something like

{
  syntax: 2,
  package: null,
  enums: [],
  messages: [{
    name: 'Point',
    enums: [],
    messages: [],
    options: {},
    fields: [{
      name: 'x',
      type: 'int32',
      tag: 1,
      required: true,
      repeated: false,
      options: {}
    }, {
      name: 'y',
      type: 'int32',
      tag: 2,
      required: true,
      repeated: false,
      options: {}
    }, {
      name: 'label',
      type: 'string',
      tag: 3,
      required: false,
      repeated: false,
      options: {}
    }]
  }, {
    name: 'Line',
    enums: [],
    messages: [],
    options: {},
    fields: [{
      name: 'start',
      type: 'Point',
      tag: 1,
      required: true,
      repeated: false,
      options: {}
    }, {
      name: 'end',
      type: 'Point',
      tag: 2,
      required: true,
      repeated: false,
      options: {}
    }, {
      name: 'label',
      type: 'string',
      tag: 3,
      required: false,
      repeated: false,
      options: {}
    }]
  }],
  options:{}
}
