Closed zachfi closed 4 years ago

zachfi commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm looking to generate client helper methods for each protobuf message to access a database.

Describe the solution you'd like To be able to name a template like templates/{{ .MessageName }}.go.tmpl or some such.

Describe alternatives you've considered Copying a template file to the places I need it to be named, for each message type I want to render.

This is already implemented, but you need to escape the filename, i.e.: https://github.com/moul/protoc-gen-gotemplate/tree/master/examples/single-package-mode

Tell me if it works for you

Oh neat! I'll use that, thank you. Just out of curiosity, why does it need it be escaped? But I know nothing of how this actually works.

Also thank you for this rad project. I've been generating all sorts of stuff based on the proto file; ldap database schema, client methods for my rpc, goodies galore.
