Exposing such plugin allows independent code generators (outside of the vanilla
build.rs
workflow) to use tonic-build to get gRPC code generation. This paves the way for aprotoc-gen-tonic
plugin, opening integration in e.g. buf.And indeed, you can find the plugin over here: https://github.com/Tuetuopay/protoc-gen-tonic
This builds on my work on
protoc-gen-prost
, and allows integration in the wider protoc/buf/... ecosystem. You can read more on the motivation for such a change over on tokio-rs/prost#492, and more about the features in the prost plugin repository. The tonic plugin inherits from all nice features (like crate gen) from the prost plugin.
