proto-watcher v1.0.1

Proto Watcher CLI

Proto Watcher CLI is a command-line tool that watches for changes in Protocol Buffers (.proto) files and compiles them to TypeScript or JavaScript using the Protobuf.js library.

It is designed to help streamline the development process when working with Protocol Buffers in your project.

Features

• Watch a folder for changes in .proto files.
• Compile .proto files to TypeScript or JavaScript.
• Specify the input proto folder, output folder, and target language (ts or js) using command-line options.

Installation

Ensure you have Node.js installed. Then, you can use npx to run the Proto Watcher CLI without installing it globally.

npx proto-watcher -p <protoFolder> -o <outputFolder> -l <language>

• -p, --proto <protoFolder>: Specify the folder containing .proto files.
• -o, --output <outputFolder>: Specify the output folder for generated files.
• -l, --language <language>: Specify the target language (ts or js).

Example

Here is an example of using Proto Watcher:

npx proto-watcher -p ./proto -o ./output -l ts

This command watches the ./proto folder for changes in .proto files and compiles them to TypeScript, placing the generated files in the ./output folder.
