# protoc-gen-gotemplate
:open_file_folder: protocol generator + golang text/template (protobuf)
Generic protocol buffer generator backed by Golang's [text/template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template).
---
This is a generator plugin for the Google Protocol Buffers compiler (`protoc`).
The plugin can generate files based on a template directory using the [Golang's `text/template`](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) engine.
## Usage
`protoc-gen-gotemplate` requires a **template_dir** directory *(by default `./templates`)*.
Every files ending with `.tmpl` will be processed and written in the destination folder, following the file hierarchy of the `template_dir`, and removing the `.tmpl` extension.
---
```console
$> ls -R
input.proto templates/doc.txt.tmpl templates/config.json.tmpl
$> protoc --gotemplate_out=. input.proto
$> ls -R
input.proto templates/doc.txt.tmpl templates/config.json.tmpl
doc.txt config.json
```
---
You can specify a custom `template_dir` or enable `debug`:
```console
$> protoc --gotemplate_out=debug=true,template_dir=/path/to/template/directory:. input.proto
```
---
See [examples](./examples).
## Funcmap
This project uses [moul/funcmap](https://github.com/moul/funcmap) library to extend the builtin [text/template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template) helpers.
Non-exhaustive list of new helpers:
* `json`
* `prettyjson`
* `indent`
* `split`
* `join`
* `title`
* `unexport`
* `add`
* `trimspace`
* `lower`
* `upper`
* `rev`
* `int`
See the project for the complete list.
