# protoc-gen-httpgo

![workflow](https://github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo/actions/workflows/go.yml/badge.svg)
![go-report](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo)

This is a protoc plugin that generates HTTP server and client code from proto files.

## Features

- Generation of both server and client code
- At the moment works with [fasthttp](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp)
- Provides multiple options for Marshaling/Unmarshaling:
- Uses the native `encoding/json` by default
- Optional usage of [easyjson](https://github.com/mailru/easyjson) for performance
- Optional usage of [protojson](https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/protobuf/encoding/protojson) for better
protocol buffer support
- Utilizes google.api.http for defining HTTP paths (also can generate it)
- Supports a wide range of data types in path parameters
- Supports middlewares

## Usage

### Installation

```bash
go install github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo@latest
```

### Generation

```bash
protoc -I=. --httpgo_out=. --httpgo_opt=paths=source_relative example/proto/example.proto
```

#### Parameters

| Name | Values | Description |
|-----------------|-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| paths | source_relative, import | Inherited from protogen, see [docs](https://protobuf.dev/reference/go/go-generated/#invocation) for more details |
| marshaller | easyjson, protojson | Specifies the data marshaling/unmarshaling package. Uses `encoding/json` by default. |
| only | server, client | Use to generate either the server or client code exclusively |
| autoURI | false, true | Create method URI if annotation is missing. |
| bodylessMethods | GET;DELETE | List of semicolon separated http methods that should not have a body. |

Example of parameters usage:

```bash
protoc -I=. --httpgo_out=. --httpgo_opt=paths=source_relative,marshaller=easyjson,only=server,autoURI=true example/proto/example.proto
```

The plugin will create an example.httpgo.go file with the following:

- `Register{ServiceName}HTTPGoServer` - function to register server handlers
- `{ServiceName}HTTPGoService` - interface with all client methods
- `Get{ServiceName}HTTPGoClient` - client constructor that implements the above interface

### Implementation

#### Server

```go
package main

import (
"context"

"github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo/example/implementation"
"github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo/example/proto"
"github.com/fasthttp/router"
"github.com/valyala/fasthttp"
)

func serverExample(ctx context.Context) (err error) {
var (
handler proto.ServiceNameHTTPGoService = &implementation.Handler{}
r = router.New()
)
if err = proto.RegisterServiceNameHTTPGoServer(ctx, r, handler, serverMiddlewares); err != nil {
return err
}
go func() { _ = fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":8080", r.Handler) }()
return nil
}

```

#### Client

```go
package main

import (
"context"

"github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo/example/proto"
"github.com/valyala/fasthttp"
)

func clientExample(ctx context.Context) (err error) {
var (
client *proto.ServiceNameHTTPGoClient
httpClient = &fasthttp.Client{}
host = "http://localhost:8080"
)
if client, err = proto.GetServiceNameHTTPGoClient(ctx, httpClient, host, clientMiddlewares); err != nil {
return err
}
// sending our request
_, _ = client.RPCName(context.Background(), &proto.InputMsgName{Int64Argument: 999, StringArgument: "rand"})
return nil
}

```

#### Middlewares

You can define custom middlewares with specific arguments and return values.
Pass a slice of middlewares to the constructor, and they will be invoked in the specified order.
There
are [middleware examples](https://github.com/MUlt1mate/protoc-gen-httpgo/blob/main/example/middleware/middlewares.go)
for logs, timeout, headers, etc.

```go
package implementation

import (
"log"

"github.com/valyala/fasthttp"
)

var ServerMiddlewares = []func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx, arg interface{}, next func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx)){
LoggerServerMiddleware,
}
var ClientMiddlewares = []func(req *fasthttp.Request, handler func(req *fasthttp.Request) (resp *fasthttp.Response, err error)) (resp *fasthttp.Response, err error){
LoggerClientMiddleware,
}

func LoggerServerMiddleware(
ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx, arg interface{},
next func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx),
) {
log.Println("server request", arg)
next(ctx)
log.Println("server response", string(ctx.Response.Body()))
}

func LoggerClientMiddleware(
req *fasthttp.Request,
next func(req *fasthttp.Request) (resp *fasthttp.Response, err error),
) (resp *fasthttp.Response, err error) {
log.Println("client request", string(req.RequestURI()))
resp, err = next(req)
log.Println("client response", string(resp.Body()))
return resp, err
}

```

## TODO

- Improve test cases
- Implement more web servers
