David PedersenandGitHub 4dda4cbcca feat(tonic): Use BoxBody from http-body crate (#622)
As of `http-body` 0.4.1 its has had a `BoxBody` type similar to
`tonic::body::BoxBody`. It also has `Empty` and `Body::map_{data,err}`.

That means all the custom body things we had in tonic can basically be
replaced with that.

Note that this is a breaking change so we should merge this next time we
decide to ship a breaking release.

The breaking changes are:

- `tonic::body::Body` has been removed. I think its fine for users to
depend directly on `http-body` if they need this trait.
- `tonic::body::BoxBody` is now just a type alias for
`http_body::combinators::BoxBody<Bytes, Status>`. So the methods it
previously had are gone. The replacements are
  - `tonic::body::Body::new` -> `http_body::Body::boxed`
  - `tonic::body::Body::map_from` -> `http_body::Body::map_data` and
  `http_body::Body::map_err` depending on which part you want to map.
  - `tonic::body::Body::empty` -> `http_body::Empty`

Additionally a `Sync` bound has been added to a few methods. I actually
don't think this is a breaking change because the old
`tonic::body::Body` trait had `Sync` as a supertrait meaning the `Sync`
requirement was already there.

tonic-build

Compiles proto files via prost and generates service stubs and proto definitiones for use with tonic.

Features

  • rustfmt: This feature enables the use of rustfmt to format the output code this makes the code readable and the error messages nice. This requires that rustfmt is installed. This is enabled by default.

Required dependencies

[dependencies]
tonic = <tonic-version>
prost = <prost-version>

[build-dependencies]
tonic-build = <tonic-version>

Examples

Simple

In build.rs:

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    tonic_build::compile_protos("proto/service.proto")?;
    Ok(())
}

Configuration

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
   tonic_build::configure()
        .build_server(false)
        .compile(
            &["proto/helloworld/helloworld.proto"],
            &["proto/helloworld"],
        )?;
   Ok(())
}

Google APIs example

A good way to use Google API is probably using git submodules.

So suppose in our proto folder we do:

git submodule add https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis

git submodule update --remote

And a bunch of Google proto files in structure will be like this:

├── googleapis
│   └── google
│       ├── api
│       │   ├── annotations.proto
│       │   ├── client.proto
│       │   ├── field_behavior.proto
│       │   ├── http.proto
│       │   └── resource.proto
│       └── pubsub
│           └── v1
│               ├── pubsub.proto
│               └── schema.proto

Then we can generate Rust code via this setup in our build.rs

fn main() {
    tonic_build::configure()
        .build_server(false)
        //.out_dir("src/google")  // you can change the generated code's location
        .compile(
            &["proto/googleapis/google/pubsub/v1/pubsub.proto"],
            &["proto/googleapis"], // specify the root location to search proto dependencies
        ).unwrap();
}

Then you can reference the generated Rust like this this in your code:

pub mod api {
    tonic::include_proto!("google.pubsub.v1");
}
use api::{publisher_client::PublisherClient, ListTopicsRequest};

Or if you want to save the generated code in your own code base, you can uncomment the line .out_dir(...) above, and in your lib file config a mod like this:

pub mod google {
    #[path = ""]
    pub mod pubsub {
        #[path = "google.pubsub.v1.rs"]
        pub mod v1;
    }
}
