protoc-gen-twagger

A protobuf plugin that generates Swagger docs for your Twirp services.

Lots of assumptions being made at the moment...use with caution.

For a demo, clone the repo and run make setup swagger. Then open your browser to http://localhost:8080 and browse around.

Running the Plugin

You'll need to install the binary.

go get -u github.com/pseudomuto/protoc-gen-twagger/cmd/protoc-gen-twagger

Even better, if you use a tool like retool you can get a specific version. For example:

retool add github.com/pseudomuto/protoc-gen-twagger/cmd/protoc-gen-twagger <branch|tag>

Once installed you can invoke it with protoc like so:

protoc -I. -I$(GOPATH)src --twagger_out=. input_proto1.proto input_proto2.proto

This will generate swagger.json in the current directory.

Using Docker

Alternatively you can run this with docker. There's a public image pseudomuto/protoc-gen-twagger which can be used to run the plugin.

docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/protos:/in:ro \
  -v $(pwd):/out:rw \
  pseudomuto/protoc-gen-twagger input_proto1.proto input_proto2.proto

Input paths are relative from /in inside the container. Take a look at the run-docker make task for a working example.
