Overview

Pbbuilder makes it easy to create a protobuf message using the builder pattern It is heavily inspired by jbuilder

Given this example message definition: message Person 

string name = 1;
repeated Person friends = 2;

You could use Pbbuilder as follows: person = RPC::Person.new Pbbuilder.new(person) do |pb|

pb.name "Hello"
pb.friends [1, 2, 3] do |number|
  pb.name "Friend ##{number}"
end

end

message.name => “Hello”

It basically works exactly like jbuilder. The main difference is that it can use introspection to figure out what kind of protobuf message it needs to create.

Constructor Details

#initialize(message) {|_self| ... } ⇒ Pbbuilder

Returns a new instance of Pbbuilder.

Yields:

  • (_self)

Yield Parameters:

  • _self (Pbbuilder) —
