A playground to learn how protobuf can be integrated in an akka (remoting) + scalajs project.
ScalaPB is used to generate scala classes from protobuf file.
The generation is done twice, once for scalajs and once for the jvm part.
The server can be invoked with the `backend` argument to start a webserver and an akka remotely reachable system.
Invoking the server with the `remote-client` argument will start an akka system which will connect to the backend and communicate with it using protobuf messages.
Opening a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8888 will open the javascript test Client. The Client serialize a few messages and post them to the webserver which deserialize them.
Note: you may need the protoc command line tool to be installed (have to check if it’s a scalapb requirement or not).
Compile stuff in one terminal:
sbt
compile
fastOptJSStart backend in one terminal:
sbt "server/run backend"Start akka remote test in another terminal:
sbt "server/run remote-client"For javascript, open http://127.0.0.1:8888 and open the developer console.
- The generated case classes offer defaults to values and the mix of optional + default in the protobuf file may not generate what you would expect.
