Generates F# code from protobuf schema for binary and json format

Falanx code generation

This repository contains the code generator to generate F# source (.fs files) from Protobuf v3 schema.

The general concepts are as follows:

• Code generation, to generate F# source code, rather than types being injected as a type provider.
• Idiomatic F# code is generated rather than simple .NET 1.1 era code. This means records, discriminated unions, etc., are generated where appropriate.

How to use

In a .NET Sdk library project, add the following packages

<PackageReference Include="Falanx.Proto.Codec.Binary" Version="0.5.*" />
<PackageReference Include="Falanx.Proto.Codec.Json" Version="0.5.*" />
<PackageReference Include="Falanx.Sdk" Version="0.5.*" PrivateAssets="All" />

It's possibile to use only one of Falanx.Proto.Codec.Binary and Falanx.Proto.Codec.Json or both, the generated code will depends on the packages referenced

Now specify the .proto file path like

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProtoFile Include="..\proto\bundle.proto" />
  </ItemGroup>

and an auto generated file will be created on build

More info in example-sdk/README.md

Template

Install the .NET template for an example library sample

dotnet new -i Falanx.Templates
dotnet new falanx

use --codec argument to specify the codecs (values json,binary,all)

Tool

It's possibile to use falanx as command line .NET global tool

dotnet tool install -g Falanx.Tool
falanx --help

To generate a .fs file for a specified .proto file:

falanx --inputfile test\examples\schemas\bundle.proto --defaultnamespace test --outputfile bundle.fs

More info in example\README.md

How to build Falanx

More info in docs/developer_guide.md

Use the src/Falanx.sln solution for development, or directly the projects with .NET Core Sdk (dotnet).

Projects:

• src/Falanx.Tool the falanx console app, run with dotnet run
• test/Falanx.Tests the unit test, run with dotnet run
• test/Falanx.IntegrationTests the integration tests, run with dotnet run

As shortcuts, from root:

• dotnet build to build the falanx executable Falanx.Tool.
• dotnet pack to generate packages in bin/nupks
• dotnet test -v n to run tests

To build packages

From root

dotnet pack

The nupkgs will be in bin/nupkg

To specify a version pass the Version property like /p:Version=0.1.0-alpha7

Info

Falanx uses:

• Type Provider SDK common type for quotation and AST support
• FsAst untyped F# AST to code via the code formatter Fantomas
• Froto protobuf parser and binary serializer
• Fantomas code formatter and linter
