Pb

Utility for Google Protocol Buffers.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'the_pb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install the_pb

You can use Pb to generate protobuf objects.

[1] pry(main)> Pb.to_timestamp("2019-03-01T15:30:00")
=> <Google::Protobuf::Timestamp: seconds: 1551421800, nanos: 0>

[2] pry(main)> Pb.to_strval("Hello")
=> <Google::Protobuf::StringValue: value: "Hello">

You can also use Pb.to_proto to generate nested objects.

message Account {
  int64 id = 1;
  google.protobuf.Timestamp registered_at = 2;
  Profile profile = 3;
}

message Profile {
  int64 id = 1;
}

[1] pry(main)> Pb.to_proto(Account, { id: 1, registered_at: Time.new(2019, 3, 1), profile: { id: 2 })
=> <Account: id: 1, registered_at: <Google::Protobuf::Timestamp: seconds: 1551366000, nanos: 0>, profile: <Profile: id: 2>>
