This module contains the protocol generator.

ProtocolGenerator Objects

class ProtocolGenerator()

This class generates a protocol_verification package from a ProtocolTemplate object.

__init__

 | __init__(path_to_protocol_specification: str, output_path: str = ".", dotted_path_to_protocol_package: Optional[str] = None) -> None

Instantiate a protocol generator.

Arguments:

  • path_to_protocol_specification: path to protocol specification file
  • output_path: the path to the location in which the protocol module is to be generated.
  • dotted_path_to_protocol_package: the path to the protocol package

:raises FileNotFoundError if any prerequisite application is not installed :raises yaml.YAMLError if yaml parser encounters an error condition :raises ProtocolSpecificationParseError if specification fails generator's validation

generate_protobuf_only_mode

 | generate_protobuf_only_mode(language: str = PROTOCOL_LANGUAGE_PYTHON, run_protolint: bool = True) -> Optional[str]

Run the generator in "protobuf only" mode:

a) validate the protocol specification. b) create the protocol buffer schema file. c) create the protocol buffer implementation file via 'protoc'.

Arguments:

  • language: the target language in which to generate the package.
  • run_protolint: whether to run protolint or not.

Returns:

None

generate_full_mode

 | generate_full_mode(language: str) -> Optional[str]

Run the generator in "full" mode:

Runs the generator in protobuf only mode: a) validate the protocol specification. b) create the protocol buffer schema file. c) create the protocol buffer implementation file via 'protoc'. Additionally: d) generates python modules. e) applies black formatting f) applies isort formatting

Arguments:

  • language: the language for which to create protobuf files

Returns:

optional warning message

generate

 | generate(protobuf_only: bool = False, language: str = PROTOCOL_LANGUAGE_PYTHON) -> Optional[str]

Run the generator either in "full" or "protobuf only" mode.

Arguments:

  • protobuf_only: mode of running the generator.
  • language: the target language in which to generate the protocol package.

Returns:

optional warning message.

public_id_to_package_name

public_id_to_package_name(public_id: PublicId) -> str

Make package name string from public_id provided.
