Example of working with Bazel

[mikeamosov]

📚 Documentation

Hello. Where can I find an example of how to use the library with Bazel.

0. I tried the examples from examples/internal, but didn't understand how to generate Go and Swagger files. In the example, these files are already there, when I try to collect them from myself, I just have the Go files collected in the Bazel cache.
   Is there an example of an echo server with automatic generation of these files?

1. How to use ' grpc.gateway.protoc_gen_openapiv2.options.openapiv2_operation ' together with Bazel?
   I get the following error:

ERROR: /example/BUILD.bazel:5:14: no such package 'protoc-gen-openapiv2/options': BUILD file not found in any of the following directories. Add a BUILD file to a directory to mark it as a package.
 - /protoc-gen-openapiv2/options and referenced by '//example:example_proto'

2. How do I get the generated files to the folder with the .proto file? I don't understand how you can write code in the IDE without it. As I understand it, only write a script that will take files out of the assembly?

There's no documentation on how to get started with this using bazel. I have a bazel setup + gazelle and I'm still getting errors while building a simple example.

I'll post the work that I'm doing in order to have something submitted to this codebase.

Sorry for the radio silence here, you're right that the bazel documentation is definitely lacking. I'm not personally very experience with its use so I would appreciate any contributions that could help newcomers use our bazel tooling.

I just created a dummy repository that uses bazel to import grpc-gateway and generate the openapiv2 documentation from a proto file: https://github.com/pbsf/protoc-gen-openapi-bazel-example. I hope that helps.

The protobuffer, go and gazelle versions are important, so are the commands order on the WORKSPACE.
