alloy.proto#grpc

This protocol represents the GRPC protocol as defined at grpc.io.

The following traits should be taken into consideration by implementors of the protocol :

• alloy.proto#protoIndex
• alloy.proto#protoNumType
• alloy.proto#protoTimestampFormat
• alloy.proto#protoEnumFormat
• alloy.proto#protoWrapped
• alloy.proto#protoCompactUUID

Additionally, the following traits can be taken into consideration by other tooling to translate smithy specifications to proto specifications.

• alloy.proto#protoEnabled
• alloy.proto#protoReservedFields

Serialisation

The gRPC protocol expects the input and output of an operation to be serialised in protobuf, according to the rules described in protobuf.md.

⚠️ Out-of-the-box support for protobuf or gRPC is not provided in smithy4s smithy4s.

In order to make them work you will need to:

1. Translate *.smithy files to *.proto, see the example.
2. Use the generated *.proto schemas to create your services and clients.

The alloy.proto#grpc shape exists for the future implementation of out-of-the-box gRPC (PRs welcomed :slightly_smiling_face:)

See the minimal example below:

ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.13.9"
ThisBuild / version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
ThisBuild / organization := "com.example"
ThisBuild / organizationName := "example"

lazy val root = (project in file("."))
  .enablePlugins(Smithy4sCodegenPlugin)
  .dependsOn(`proto-hints`)
  .settings(
    name := "foo",
    libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
      "com.disneystreaming.smithy4s" %% "smithy4s-http4s" % smithy4sVersion.value,
      "com.disneystreaming.smithy4s" %% "smithy4s-http4s-swagger" % smithy4sVersion.value,
      "org.http4s" %% "http4s-ember-server" % "0.23.16"
    ),
    Compile / run / fork := true,
    Compile / run / connectInput := true
  )

// Generate the hints from alloy.proto in a separate project. They are not pre-packaged in smithy4s,
// and you need to explicitly allow for the generation of `alloy.proto` hints as we protect against the
// generation of any namespace prefixed with `alloy` by default
lazy val `proto-hints` = (project in file("proto-hints"))
  .enablePlugins(Smithy4sCodegenPlugin)
  .settings(
    name := "proto-hints",
    libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
      "com.disneystreaming.alloy" % "alloy-core" % "0.2.8" % Smithy4s,
      "com.disneystreaming.smithy4s" %% "smithy4s-core" % smithy4sVersion.value
    ),
    Compile / smithy4sAllowedNamespaces := List("alloy.proto")
  )
