I’ve written a simple .proto file
syntax = "proto3";
message Event {
optional string name = 1;
}
I’ve downloaded the protoc linux compiler (protoc-3.19.3-linux-x86_64.zip) and installed it in my local machine outside of the project’s folder.
Then I installed the core runtime dependency with
$ npm i google-protobuf
My package.json shows:
"google-protobuf": "^3.19.3",
I then ran this line to generate the JS code from the .proto file
$ protoc –js_out=import_style=commonjs,binary:. protos/event.proto
It outputs some generated code that I can import with
const Schema = require("./protos/event_pb");
by inspecting Schema.Event I can see that my prop .name is in there, but I can’t get any autocomplete going. Is there a way to achieve this?
