`go_protobuf`

go_protobuf installs google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go with the selected managed Go SDK and returns a typed generator for protobuf_generate.

Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
`version`	Yes	Exact `protoc-gen-go` semantic version without a leading `v`, such as `"1.36.6"`.
`deps`	No	Dependencies activated before `go install`, in list order. Defaults to `[]`.

The helper installs google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@v<version> using the same isolated command directory and managed environment as go_install. Selecting the returned generator activates that installation automatically before protoc.

Example

load("@[email protected]", "go_protobuf")
load("@[email protected]", "protobuf_generate")

protobuf_generate(
    sources=["proto/service.proto"],
    generator=go_protobuf("1.36.6"),
    output="generated/go",
    proto_paths=["proto"],
    options=["paths=source_relative"],
)
