Draft: Feat/protobuf #24

Closed EtienneDx closed 4 months ago

EtienneDx commented 5 months ago

Added protobuf definition and mechanism for transpilation to rust and typescript.

Still missing an exemple usage in typescript, I'll work on it soon.

After looking more into typescript-protobuf integration, it appears using protobuf creates some major drawbacks and isn't the best option considering the goal of the project. A better option would be using JSON schemas generated from the rust code to ensure the front-end matches the back end perfectly. The process would look like:

Rust -> on build -> create schema.json -> on npm start -> create types.ts from schema.json -> build and run project

This was and still is a mess. Found a better solution with #25
