- Support group type field

About Protobuf
--------------

[](#about-protobuf)

Protocol Buffers (a.k.a., protobuf) are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. You can find [protobuf's documentation on the Google Developers site](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/).

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.6 or above
- php-json extension (for json serializer)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install with composer.

```
# add ndunks/php-simple-protobuf entry to your composer.json
{
    "require": {
        "ndunks/php-simple-protobuf": "*"
    }
}

# install requirements composer
composer install

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Compile proto 2 file to PHP Classes
-----------------------------------

[](#compile-proto-2-file-to-php-classes)

Just execute php code on console in your project root dir

```
vendor\bin\compiler.php.bat --out= --file=

```

Run the code
------------

[](#run-the-code)

```
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Class Simple compiled from simple.proto (find on test/proto)
$obj = new Simple();
$obj->setName('user');
$obj->setAddress('Indonesia');
$obj->setAge(25);
$obj->toArray(); // as PHP Array
$obj->toJson(); // as JSON formated string

```

Example on Linux
----------------

[](#example-on-linux)

Example Setup & installation on Linux make sure your php.ini (cli) has `short_open_tag` is `On`

```
git clone https://github.com/ndunks/php-simple-protobuf
cd php-simple-protobuf
composer dump-autoload

```

You can skip `composer install` if you want to use it (not develop it) because this project not depend to any other composer library. Run this to compile example proto (on project dir)

```
# if output directory not exist, you must create it manualy
mkdir result
# Compile it
php bin/compiler.php --out=result --file=test/proto/simple.proto

```

Check on result dir, you will get `Simple.php` file generated from `simple.proto`
