Generate GAPIC Client Library without post-processing

The script, generate_library.sh, allows you to generate a GAPIC client library from proto files.

Environment

Use Linux environment and install java runtime environment (8 or above).

Prerequisite

Protos referenced by protos in proto_path (see proto_path below) should be copied to an output directory located in the working directory, referred as $cwd (for example, library_generation/output if planning to call from the same folder). The directory structure should be the same as import statements in protos.

For example, you want to generate from folder1/folder2/protoA, so proto_path should be set to folder1/folder2 (a relative path from output). protoA imports protoB as folder3/folder4/protoB, then there should be folder3/folder4 (containing protoB) in output.

In order to generate a GAPIC library, you need to pull google/ from googleapis and put it into output since protos in google/ are likely referenced by protos from which the library are generated.

Parameters to run generate_library.sh

You need to run the script with the following parameters.

proto_path

A directory in $cwd/output and copy proto files into it. The absolute path of proto_path is $cwd/output/$proto_path.

Use -p or --proto_path to specify the value.

destination_path

A directory within $cwd/output. This is the path in which the generated library will reside. The absolute path of destination_path is $cwd/output/$destination_path.

Use -d or --destination_path to specify the value.

Note that you do not need to create $destination_path beforehand.

The directory structure of the generated library is

$destination_path
  |_gapic-*
  |    |_src
  |       |_main
  |          |_java
  |          |_resources
  |       |_test
  |_grpc-*
  |    |_src
  |       |_main
  |          |_java
  |    
  |_proto-*
  |    |_src
  |       |_main
  |          |_java
  |          |_proto
  |_samples
      |_snippets
          |_generated

You can't build the library as-is since it does not have pom.xml or build.gradle. To use the library, copy the generated files to the corresponding directory of a library repository, e.g., google-cloud-java.

gapic_generator_version

You can find the released version of gapic-generator-java in maven central.

Use --gapic_generator_version to specify the value.

Note that you can specify a SNAPSHOT version as long as you have build the SNAPSHOT of gapic-generator-java in your maven local repository.

protobuf_version (optional)

You can find the released version of protobuf in GitHub. The default value is defined in gapic-generator-java-pom-parent/pom.xml.

Use --protobuf_version to specify the value.

Note that if specified, the version should be compatible with gapic-generator-java.

grpc_version (optional)

You can find the released version of grpc in maven central. The default value is defined in gapic-generator-java-pom-parent/pom.xml.

Use --grpc_version to specify the value.

Note that if specified, the version should be compatible with gapic-generator-java.

transport (optional)

One of GAPIC options passed to the generator. The value is either grpc or grpc+rest. The default value is grpc.

Use --transport to specify the value.

rest_numeric_enums (optional)

One of GAPIC options passed to the generator. The value is either true or false. The default value is true.

Use --rest_numeric_enums to specify the value.

include_samples (optional)

Whether generates code samples. The value is either true or false. The default value is true.

Use --include_samples to specify the value.

os_architecture (optional)

Choose the protoc binary type from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases. Default is "linux-x86_64".
