.proto file generator #68

Closed danielpclark closed 9 years ago

Feature Request

Currently you have proto to ruby. I'd love it to have a generator the other way as well. Write first in Ruby, then export to .proto files for other devs to use.

I'd be interested in helping if that's what you would need for this.

I don't have a particular use for this, but it sounds like a fun project! I'd recommend putting it in its own gem, since versioning a ruby to protobuffs compiler would mostly be independent of this serialization library's version.

danielpclark commented 9 years ago

Good point! I may get started on this shortly.

Cool! If you want some of the internal beefcake APIs about fields on an object to be made public/reliable/static, we can probably do that.
