Proto + Mongo == Pronto

Pronto is a MongoDB Codec Provider that serializes protos to and from bson documents to be saved and loaded from MongoDB. This library will allow you to avoid writing code that manually transforms a proto into a pojo or BsonDocument and then inserting that into Mongo.

TODO

1. Create a QueryBuilder?
2. Annotations for choosing/altering field names?
3. Automation of proto migrations?
4. Support other data storage backends?

Usage

// TODO(josh): Publish to maven registry or document jitpack?

Now you will be able to register the ProtoCodecProvider in your MongoDB client. It will look something like this:

import com.mongodb.MongoClient;
import org.bson.codecs.configuration.CodecRegistry;
import com.mongodb.client.MongoCollection;

class Example {
    private final static CodecRegistry registry = fromRegistries(
        fromProviders(
            // Create a provider for the codec.
            new ProtoCodecProvider(),
            PojoCodecProvider.builder().automatic(true).build()
        )
    );

    private MongoDatabase database(MongoClient client, String name) {
        return client.getDatabase(name)
                // Register it as the codec for your client.
                .withCodecRegistry(registry)
                .withWriteConcern(WriteConcern.ACKNOWLEDGED);
    }
}

You can now insert protos using the following APIs:

import com.mongodb.client.MongoCollection;
class Repository {
    private final MongoCollection<BasicMessage> collection = database("basic_messages")
        .getCollection("enums_basic_proto", BasicMessage.class);

    public void saveThings() {
        collection.insertMany(Arrays.asList(
            BasicMessage.newBuilder()
                .setBasicEnum(BasicEnum.A)
                .build(),
            BasicMessage.newBuilder()
                .setBasicEnum(BasicEnum.B)
                .build()
        ));
    }
}

Usage (caper internal)

The only thing that is different between our public and private release of pronto is how you include it into our build chain. Just add the following to your build.gradle:

dependencies {
  include project(':pronto')
}
