@bufbuild/protoplugin
Advanced tools
This package helps you 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, Node.js, and Deno.
In addition to a full Protobuf runtime library, it provides the protoc-gen-es
code generator, which uses 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 @bufbuild/protoplugin, you have all the tools at your disposal to produce
ECMAScript-compliant code.
Get started now with our plugin documentation.
protobufjs is a popular library for working with Protocol Buffers in JavaScript. It provides comprehensive support for parsing, serializing, and generating protobuf messages. Compared to @bufbuild/protoplugin, protobufjs is more focused on general protobuf operations rather than plugin development for the Buf build system.
grpc-tools is a package that provides tools for working with gRPC and Protocol Buffers. It includes a code generator for creating gRPC service stubs and protobuf message classes. While grpc-tools is more focused on gRPC services, @bufbuild/protoplugin is tailored for creating plugins for the Buf build system.
protoc-gen-ts is a plugin for the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc) that generates TypeScript code from .proto files. It is similar to @bufbuild/protoplugin in that it focuses on code generation, but it is specifically designed for TypeScript, whereas @bufbuild/protoplugin is more general-purpose and integrated with the Buf build system.
