This example mimicks the address book example in the protobuf repository. It
demonstrates how to use code generation with the protoc-gen-kotlin tool and
Protobuf Plugin for Gradle. See the build.gradle file for details.
For this example the generated code has been committed to show what it looks like.
To build the code for most platforms with protoc-gen-kotlin on the PATH, simply run:
path/to/gradle installDist
On Windows however, since protoc-gen-kotlin.bat is not properly read by protoc, you have to uncomment the section in
build.gradle where the path is explicitly set.
Once built, the start script will be at build/install/addressbook/bin/addressbook (and .bat version on Windows).
There are two commands that both require filenames, add-person and list-people. To add a person to a file called
sample-book, run:
build/install/addressbook/bin/addressbook add-person sample-book
Run multiple times to add multiple people. To see the list of people saved in sample-book, run:
build/install/addressbook/bin/addressbook list-people sample-book
