rustHow to convert struct to protobuf in Rust
Converting a struct to protobuf in Rust is done using the prost
crate.
To convert a struct to protobuf, the struct must first be annotated with #[derive(Message)]
and the fields must be annotated with #[prost(...)]
.
Example code
#[derive(Message)]
struct MyStruct {
#[prost(int32, tag = "1")]
my_field: i32,
}
The #[derive(Message)]
annotation tells the compiler to generate code to serialize and deserialize the struct into protobuf. The #[prost(...)]
annotation tells the compiler how to serialize and deserialize the field.
The generated code can then be used to convert the struct to protobuf:
let my_struct = MyStruct { my_field: 42 };
let mut buf = Vec::new();
my_struct.encode(&mut buf).unwrap();
The encode
method serializes the struct into protobuf and writes it to the buf
vector.
