A programmatic API to the
[grpc-rs compiler](https://github.com/pingcap/grpc-rs).
## Requirements
- You must have Google's Protocol Buffer compiler (`protoc`) installed and in
`PATH`.
## Example `build.rs`
For a project laid out like so:
```
$ tree
.
├── build.rs
├── Cargo.toml
└── src
├── client.rs
├── protos
│ ├── example
│ │ └── diner.proto
│ └── mod.rs
└── server.rs
3 directories, 7 files
```
The `build.rs` might look like:
```rust
extern crate protoc_grpcio;
fn main() {
let proto_root = "src/protos";
println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed={}", proto_root);
protoc_grpcio::compile_grpc_protos(
&["example/diner.proto"],
&[proto_root],
&proto_root,
None
).expect("Failed to compile gRPC definitions!");
}
```
## Example `Cargo.toml`
And the `Cargo.toml` might look like:
```toml
[package]
# ...
build = "build.rs"
[lib]
name = "protos"
path = "src/protos/mod.rs"
[[bin]]
name = "server"
path = "src/server.rs"
[[bin]]
name = "client"
path = "src/client.rs"
[dependencies]
futures = "0.1.16"
grpcio = "0.4.3"
protobuf = "~2"
[build-dependencies]
protoc-grpcio = "1.0.2"
```
You can inspect this example under [`example/`](example) by compiling and running the example
server in one shell session:
```
cargo run --manifest-path example/Cargo.toml --bin server
...
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 27.97 secs
Running `example/target/debug/server`
listening on 127.0.0.1:34431
```
And then running the client in another:
```
$ cargo run --manifest-path example/Cargo.toml --bin client 34431
...
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 1.28 secs
Running `example/target/debug/client 34431`
