lein-protobuf is a Leiningen plugin for compiling
Google Protobuf .proto files into Java .class files. It
can be used with or without clojure-protobuf, which
is a Clojure wrapper around the Java protobuf API.
Add the following to your project.clj file:
:plugins [[lein-protobuf "0.5.0"]]
Replace "0.5.0" with the actual latest version, which you can find at http://clojars.org/lein-protobuf.
Also, you should add the version of the protobuf library to your dependencies in project.clj corresponding to the version of protoc being used:
:dependencies [[com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java "2.6.1"]]
Note: lein-protobuf requires at least version 2.0 of Leiningen.
By default, lein-protobuf looks for .proto files in resources/proto in your project
directory. This was chosen as the default location so that .proto files would also be included in
your jar files. You can change this with:
:proto-path "path/to/proto"
You can specify custom protoc executable with:
:protoc "/usr/local/bin/protoc260"
To compile all .proto files in this directory, just run:
lein protobuf
You can also compile specific proto files with:
lein protobuf file1.proto file2.proto
We also add a hook to Leiningen's compile task, so .proto files will automatically be compiled
before that task runs. So if you like, you can simply run:
lein compile
| Protoc version | lein-protobuf version |
|---|---|
| 2.6.1 | 0.4.3 |
| 2.5.0 | 0.4.0 |
