Distant Protocol

This package holds the distant protobuf protocol definition. It's meant as a central repository that dependents can link to as a single place for the protocol.

The protocol file is here: distant.proto

Usage

JavaScript

Install using npm:

npm install @distant/distant-protocol

or yarn:

yarn add @distant/distant-protocol

Use the package like so:

import {distant as distantProtocol} from '@distant/distant-protocol

function useProtocol() {
  // Use the protocol ...
  distantProtocol.SessionStart.create({start: { id: 1, targetUrl: 'http://example.org'}})

}

Development

After modifying the protocol, you will need to run yarn build in order to update code-generated source code.
