protoc-gen-gofullmethods

Description

This protoc-gen-gofullmethods plugin is intended as an extension of the protoc-gen-go-grpc plugin, exposing the full methods for each gRPC endpoint as string constants. Its original intent is to use these methods/paths for authorization purposes in a custom middleware function in the transport layer, on the gRPC server. This plugin is not intended for use with clients.

The example directory uses the sample pet API from buf to generate example output of this plugin, using the locally compiled executable. Run make update-example to regenerate it.
