Is there a way to convert the go class to protobuf?

Hi,

Is there a way to convert the go class to protobuf? I want to convert the following to .proto file.

https://github.com/heptio/contour/blob/master/apis/generated/listers/contour/v1beta1/ingressroute.go

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Srinivas

I don't think that tooling exists todo this, but even if it did I would strongly advice against it. I've worked in a project where proto's where created for C# classes and keeping the proto's compatible with each change of the C# classes was a nightmare.

The great thing of working with proto's as a source for your code (be it go or something else) is that you change your thinking pattern. It makes you think about your contract, it's easy to keep compatible because you know and see what you are doing with your messages.

Hi Alex, 

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I agree with you on designing the protos first and using it in different languages. I will work in that direction.
