just do it

最近在写一个web IM 项目，虽然本人主打golang后端，但是部分前端还是需要自己解决。因为这是一个IM系统，所以不考虑使用json来传送数据，改用protocol buffers ，优点见官网。由于前端不太熟练，经常被Angular坑，包括这次，花费我一个下午时间来解决Angular2+ 使用 Protocol Buffers的问题。
灵感来源：Using protocol buffers with Node.js + Swagger + Angular

进入正题，本机环境 Linux ubuntu

1. 定义一个简单的 .proto 文件

具体的protocol buffers 的.proto文件定义见官网，下面展现一个简单的小例子：

// Protocol.proto
syntax="proto3";
package Protocol; 

message C2CSendRequest{
    int64 from = 1;         //发送者
    int64 to = 2;           //接受者
    string content = 3 ;   //消息内容
}

2.生成 .js 和 .d.ts 文件

首先使用npm命令 安装 protobuf.js：

npm install protobufjs

然后你会得到 pbjs 和 pbts 这两个命令 [注意下面！有坑！]
这两个命令都在 node_modules/protobufjs/cli/bin/ 路径底下(看清楚这路径有cli)，你如果不知道在哪里的话

执行 sudo find / -name pbjs

得到下面的输出

pjw@O-E-M:~$ sudo find / -name pbjs
find: ‘/tmp/.mount_Shadowl3Qfnt’: 权限不够
/usr/local/node-v10.15.0-linux-x64/bin/pbjs
/usr/local/node-v10.15.0-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/pbjs
/home/pjw/node_modules/.bin/pbjs
/home/pjw/node_modules/protobufjs/bin/pbjs
/home/pjw/node_modules/protobufjs/cli/bin/pbjs      <===就是这个目录的 pbjs，不是别的目录。(注意这个/home/pjw是我的家目录目录）
/home/pjw/.local/share/Trash/files/protobuf.2.js/cli/bin/pbjs
/home/pjw/.local/share/Trash/files/protobuf.js/bin/pbjs
/home/pjw/.local/share/Trash/files/protobuf.js/cli/bin/pbjs

这目录底下的两个命令还是不可以执行的，在这个目录底下执行：

sudo chmod a+x pbjs
sudo chmod a+x pbts

先说一下我在这里遇到的坑：如果刚执行完 npm install protobufjs ,马上执行 pbjs 命令，这条命令是不正确的，并且你执行 pbts 会显示找不到命令。而正确的命令是在 node_modules/protobufjs/cli/bin/底下。

正式开始生成.js 和 .d.ts 文件：

../node_modules/protobufjs/cli/bin/pbjs -t static-module -w commonjs -o Protocol.js Protocol.proto
../node_modules/protobufjs/cli/bin/pbts -o Protocol.d.ts Protocol.js

分别生成 Protocol.js 和 Protocol.d.ts 。
这时候 Protocol.d.ts 文件有些错误，Cannot find name 'Long', 原因是 .proto 文件有些字段是 int64 类型 。
解决办法 在Protocol.d.ts 文件第二行插入 ：

import {Long} from "protobufjs";

那么现在 js和 .d.ts 声明文件也有了，那如何在Angular上使用。

3. protobuf 在Angular 简单使用

简单的测试一下是否可以再Angular上面使用，更复杂的使用待学习。

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Protocol } from "./Protocol";    <====引入模块
@Injectable()
export class TestService {
  request: Protocol.C2CSendRequest = new(Protocol.C2CSendRequest);   <=== new 一个 message
  constructor() { }
  test(){
    this.request.content="dasdasdas";     <===使用它
    this.request.from=1;
    this.request.msgid=222;
    this.request.timestamp=231412;
    console.log(this.request)
  }
}

4.总结

其实在这篇文章灵感来源：Using protocol buffers with Node.js + Swagger + Angular讲的很详细，是我大部分的借鉴来源。虽然一开始搜到这篇文章，但是因为是英文没有详细阅读，而是随意浏览，错过这个解决办法。幸好师姐帮我解决问题的时候，把这篇文章再看一遍，才发现里面的解决方案。其中一直困扰着我的问题就是： 为什么我的 pbjs 生成的js文件和别人的生成js文件不一样，即使是.proto文件相同。最后是发现 是node_modules/protobufjs/cli/bin目录底下的命令才是真正需要的命令。
