C#

Rules for generating C# protobuf and gRPC .cs files and libraries using standard Protocol Buffers and gRPC. Libraries are created with csharp_library from rules_dotnet

Rules

Rule

Description

csharp_proto_compile

Generates C# protobuf .cs files

csharp_grpc_compile

Generates C# protobuf and gRPC .cs files

csharp_proto_library

Generates a C# protobuf library using csharp_library from rules_dotnet

csharp_grpc_library

Generates a C# protobuf and gRPC library using csharp_library from rules_dotnet

Installation

The C# module can be installed by adding the following lines to your MODULE.bazel file, replacing the version number placeholder with the desired version:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_proto_grpc_csharp", version = "<version number here>")

csharp_proto_compile

Generates C# protobuf .cs files

Example

Full example project can be found here

BUILD.bazel

load("@rules_proto_grpc_csharp//:defs.bzl", "csharp_proto_compile")

csharp_proto_compile(
    name = "person_csharp_proto",
    protos = ["@rules_proto_grpc_example_protos//:person_proto"],
)

Attributes

Attributes for csharp_proto_compile

Name

Type

Mandatory

Default

Description

protos

label_list

true

List of labels that provide the ProtoInfo provider (such as proto_library from @protobuf)

options

string_list_dict

false

[]

Extra options to pass to plugins, as a dict of plugin label -> list of strings. The key * can be used exclusively to apply to all plugins

verbose

int

false

0

The verbosity level. Supported values and results are 0: Show nothing, 1: Show command, 2: Show command and sandbox after running protoc, 3: Show command and sandbox before and after running protoc, 4. Show env, command, expected outputs and sandbox before and after running protoc

prefix_path

string

false

""

Path to prefix to the generated files in the output directory

extra_protoc_args

string_list

false

[]

A list of extra command line arguments to pass directly to protoc, not as plugin options

extra_protoc_files

label_list

false

[]

List of labels that provide extra files to be available during protoc execution

output_mode

string

false

PREFIXED

The output mode for the target. PREFIXED (the default) will output to a directory named by the target within the current package root, NO_PREFIX will output directly to the current package. Using NO_PREFIX may lead to conflicting writes
