Dummy Introduction to Protobuf Compile

Import protobuf models into other and compile them

tsjd [To short, just do];

1. Define go_package option something like:

option go_package = "github.com/meysampg/project_name/pb/folder_name_which_compiled_model_must_be_on_it";

2. Import package on a .proto file with an address from project root, like

$ cat pb/pb/package/file.proto
syntax = "proto3";

import "pb/another_package/antoher_file.proto";

package file;

3. Run pb compiler command from the project root:

$ protoc pb/package/file.proto -I. --go_out=plugins=grpc:$GOPATH/src

4. Now Models will be under pb/folder_name_which_compiled_model_must_be_on_it folder (relative to project root).
