@bufbuild/protoplugin

This package helps to create your own code generator plugin using the Protobuf-ES plugin framework.

Protobuf-ES is a complete implementation of Protocol Buffers in TypeScript, suitable for web browsers and Node.js.

In addition to a full Protobuf runtime library, it also provides a code generator protoc-gen-es, which utilizes a plugin framework to generate base types from your Protobuf schema. It is fully compatible with both Buf and protoc compilers.

And now, you can write your own Protobuf-ES compatible plugins using this same plugin framework with the @bufbuild/protoplugin package.

With @bufbuild/protoplugin, you can generate your own TypeScript code tailored to your project or needs. You also have various options for producing JavaScript and TypeScript declaration files:

• Exercise full control by writing your own JavaScript and declaration file generators in addition to TypeScript.

• Generate TypeScript files only and let the framework generate JavaScript and declaration files automatically using our internal TypeScript compiler.

• Generate TypeScript files only and bring your own TypeScript compiler, using it to generate JavaScript and declaration files with your own version of TypeScript and your own compiler options.

With protoplugin, you have all the tools at your disposal to produce ECMAScript-compliant code.
