Stencil nodejs client
Stencil nodejs client package provides a store to lookup protobuf descriptors and options to keep the protobuf descriptors upto date.
It has following features
- Ability to refresh protobuf descriptors in specified intervals
- Support to download descriptors from multiple urls
Installation
npm install --save @raystack/stencil
Usage
Creating a client
const { Stencil } = require('stencil');
const url = 'http://url/to/proto/descriptorset/file';
const client = await Stencil.getInstance(url, {
shouldRefresh: true,
refreshInterval: 43200 // 12 hrs
});
Creating a multiURLClient
const { MultiURLStencil } = require('stencil');
const url1 = 'http://url/to/proto/descriptorset/file';
const url2 = 'http://url/to/proto/descriptorset/file2';
const client = await MultiURLStencil.getInstance([url1, url2], {
shouldRefresh: true,
refreshInterval: 43200 // 12 hrs
});
Get proto descriptor type
const { Stencil } = require('stencil');
const url = 'http://url/to/proto/descriptorset/file';
const client = await Stencil.getInstance(url, {
shouldRefresh: false
});
const type = client.getType('google.protobuf.DescriptorProto');
Encode/Decode message
Let's say we want to encode message for below proto message defniniton
syntax = "proto3";
package test;
message One {
int64 field_one = 1;
}
const { Stencil } = require('stencil');
const url = 'http://url/to/proto/descriptorset/file';
const client = await Stencil.getInstance(url, {
shouldRefresh: false
});
const type = client.getType('test.One');
// Encode
const msg = { field_one: 10 };
const errs = type.verify(msg);
if errs {
throw new Error(`unable to serialize message: ${errs}`);
}
const encodedBuffer = type.encode(msg).finish();
// Decode
const decodedType = type.decode(encodedBuffer);
console.log(decodedType.toObject())
