This PR adds pass-through calls to post to allow tonic users to make use of a new function in
prost
calledinclude_file
.Motivation
The
include_file
function provides users with a way to more elegantly handle compiling a set of.proto
files with complex dependency hierarchies. Traditionally, users would either need to emulate the folder structure of their.proto
sources or manually configure amod.rs
that accurately mapped the source.proto
folder structure to a module graph. Now,include_file
will do that for you.Solution
Assuming some complex
.proto
source folder structure and dependency graph, users can add a call toinclude_file
in their configuration like this.By configuring
include_file
in the config as shown,prost
will now generate amod.rs
that looks like this.
