protoc-gen-temporal

About

A protobuf plugin to automatically scaffold a temporal worker with sane defaults. On top of that this plugin can generate typesafe clients for consumers to call your workflow.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You need to install protobuf to compile your protobuf. The easiest option to work with this plugin is to use buf.

Usage

Starts by defining the following RPC service:

syntax = "proto3";

message DoSomethingRequest {
   hello string = 0;
}

service MyWorkflow {
  option (temporal.worker_defaults).task_queue = "my_workflow";
  
  // DoSomething is a workflow that does something
  rpc DoSomething(DoSomethingRequest) returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {
    option (temporal.workflow).queries = {
      name: "something_info",
      response_type: "SomethingInfoResponse"
    }
    
    option (temporal.workflow).signals = {
      name: "cancel_something",
      request_type: "CancelSomethingRequest"
    }
  }
}

It will generate a typesafe client SDK and well as interface that needs to be implemented on worker side.
