To access the compiled ProtoBuffer objects, you can use the following code:

let user = new User({
  firstName: "Homer",
  lastName: "Simpson",
  active: true,
  locations: ["Springfield"],
  projects: { SPP: "Springfield Power Plant" },
  manager: {
    firstName: "Montgomery",
    lastName: "Burns",
  },
});

const bytes = user.toBinary();
user = User.fromBinary(bytes);
user = User.fromJsonString('{"firstName": "Homer", "lastName": "Simpson"}');

The extracted and compiled ProtoBuffer definitions are ready to be used. To learn how to work with these definitions, please refer to the bufbuild/protobuf-es documentation.
