#[[ ## Overview These build rules are used for building [protobufs][protobuf]/[gRPC][grpc] in [Rust][rust] with Bazel. There are two rule sets. The first ruleset defines the `rust_prost_library` which generates Rust code using the [`prost`] and [`tonic`] dependencies. The second ruleset defines the `rust_proto_library` and `rust_grpc_library` rules which generate Rust code using the [`rust-protobuf`] dependencies. [rust]: http://www.rust-lang.org/ [protobuf]: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ [grpc]: https://grpc.io [`rust-protobuf`]: https://github.com/stepancheg/rust-protobuf/ See the [protobuf example](../examples/proto) for a more complete example of use. ### Prost Setup ```python load("@rules_rust//proto/prost:repositories.bzl", "rust_prost_dependencies") rust_prost_dependencies() load("@rules_rust//proto/prost:transitive_repositories.bzl", "rust_prost_transitive_repositories") rust_prost_transitive_repositories() ``` The `prost` and `tonic` rules do not specify a default toolchain in order to avoid mismatched dependency issues. To setup the `prost` and `tonic` toolchain, please see the section [Customizing `prost` and `tonic` Dependencies](#custom-prost-deps). For additional information about Bazel toolchains, see [here](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/toolchains.html). #### Customizing `prost` and `tonic` Dependencies These rules depend on the [`prost`] and [`tonic`] dependencies. To setup the necessary toolchain for these rules, you must define a toolchain with the [`prost`], [`prost-types`], [`tonic`], [`protoc-gen-prost`], and [`protoc-gen-tonic`] crates as well as the [`protoc`] binary. [`prost`]: https://crates.io/crates/prost [`prost-types`]: https://crates.io/crates/prost-types [`protoc-gen-prost`]: https://crates.io/crates/protoc-gen-prost [`protoc-gen-tonic`]: https://crates.io/crates/protoc-gen-tonic [`tonic`]: https://crates.io/crates/tonic [`protoc`]: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf To get access to these crates, you can use the [crate_universe](./crate_universe.md) repository rules. For example: ```python load("//crate_universe:defs.bzl", "crate", "crates_repository") crates_repository( name = "crates_io", annotations = { "protoc-gen-prost": [crate.annotation( gen_binaries = ["protoc-gen-prost"], patch_args = [ "-p1", ], patches = [ # Note: You will need to use this patch until a version greater than `0.2.2` of # `protoc-gen-prost` is released. "@rules_rust//proto/prost/private/3rdparty/patches:protoc-gen-prost.patch", ], )], "protoc-gen-tonic": [crate.annotation( gen_binaries = ["protoc-gen-tonic"], )], }, cargo_lockfile = "Cargo.Bazel.lock", mode = "remote", packages = { "prost": crate.spec( version = "0", ), "prost-types": crate.spec( version = "0", ), "protoc-gen-prost": crate.spec( version = "0", ), "protoc-gen-tonic": crate.spec( version = "0", ), "tonic": crate.spec( version = "0", ), }, repository_name = "rules_rust_prost", tags = ["manual"], ) ``` You can then define a toolchain with the `rust_prost_toolchain` rule which uses the crates defined above. For example: ```python load("@rules_rust//proto/prost:defs.bzl", "rust_prost_toolchain") load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library_group") rust_library_group( name = "prost_runtime", deps = [ "@crates_io//:prost", ], ) rust_library_group( name = "tonic_runtime", deps = [ ":prost_runtime", "@crates_io//:tonic", ], ) rust_prost_toolchain( name = "prost_toolchain_impl", prost_plugin = "@crates_io//:protoc-gen-prost__protoc-gen-prost", prost_runtime = ":prost_runtime", prost_types = "@crates_io//:prost-types", proto_compiler = "@com_google_protobuf//:protoc", tonic_plugin = "@crates_io//:protoc-gen-tonic__protoc-gen-tonic", tonic_runtime = ":tonic_runtime", ) toolchain( name = "prost_toolchain", toolchain = "prost_toolchain_impl", toolchain_type = "@rules_rust//proto/prost:toolchain_type", ) ``` Lastly, you must register the toolchain in your `WORKSPACE` file. For example: ```python register_toolchains("//toolchains:prost_toolchain") ``` ## Rust-Protobuf Setup To use the Rust proto rules, add the following to your `WORKSPACE` file to add the external repositories for the Rust proto toolchain (in addition to the [rust rules setup](..)): ```python load("@rules_rust//proto/protobuf:repositories.bzl", "rust_proto_protobuf_dependencies", "rust_proto_protobuf_register_toolchains") rust_proto_protobuf_dependencies() rust_proto_protobuf_register_toolchains() load("@rules_rust//proto/protobuf:transitive_repositories.bzl", "rust_proto_protobuf_transitive_repositories") rust_proto_protobuf_transitive_repositories() ``` This will load the required dependencies for the [`rust-protobuf`] rules. It will also register a default toolchain for the `rust_proto_library` and `rust_grpc_library` rules. To customize the `rust_proto_library` and `rust_grpc_library` toolchain, please see the section [Customizing `rust-protobuf` Dependencies](#custom-proto-deps). For additional information about Bazel toolchains, see [here](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/toolchains.html). #### Customizing `rust-protobuf` Dependencies These rules depend on the [`protobuf`](https://crates.io/crates/protobuf) and the [`grpc`](https://crates.io/crates/grpc) crates in addition to the [protobuf compiler](https://github.com/google/protobuf). To obtain these crates, `rust_proto_repositories` imports the given crates using BUILD files generated with [crate_universe](./crate_universe.md). If you want to either change the protobuf and gRPC rust compilers, or to simply use [crate_universe](./crate_universe.md) in a more complex scenario (with more dependencies), you must redefine those dependencies. To do this, once you've imported the needed dependencies (see our [@rules_rust//proto/3rdparty/BUILD.bazel](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/blob/main/proto/3rdparty/BUILD.bazel) file to see the default dependencies), you need to create your own toolchain. To do so you can create a BUILD file with your toolchain definition, for example: ```python load("@rules_rust//proto:toolchain.bzl", "rust_proto_toolchain") rust_proto_toolchain( name = "proto-toolchain-impl", # Path to the protobuf compiler. protoc = "@com_google_protobuf//:protoc", # Protobuf compiler plugin to generate rust gRPC stubs. grpc_plugin = "//3rdparty/crates:cargo_bin_protoc_gen_rust_grpc", # Protobuf compiler plugin to generate rust protobuf stubs. proto_plugin = "//3rdparty/crates:cargo_bin_protoc_gen_rust", ) toolchain( name = "proto-toolchain", toolchain = ":proto-toolchain-impl", toolchain_type = "@rules_rust//proto/protobuf:toolchain_type", ) ``` Now that you have your own toolchain, you need to register it by inserting the following statement in your `WORKSPACE` file: ```python register_toolchains("//my/toolchains:proto-toolchain") ``` Finally, you might want to set the `rust_deps` attribute in `rust_proto_library` and `rust_grpc_library` to change the compile-time dependencies: ```python rust_proto_library( ... rust_deps = ["//3rdparty/crates:protobuf"], ... ) rust_grpc_library( ... rust_deps = [ "//3rdparty/crates:protobuf", "//3rdparty/crates:grpc", "//3rdparty/crates:tls_api", "//3rdparty/crates:tls_api_stub", ], ... ) ``` __Note__: Ideally, we would inject those dependencies from the toolchain, but due to [bazelbuild/bazel#6889](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6889) all dependencies added via the toolchain ends-up being in the wrong configuration. --- --- ]]#
