# This BUILD file shows how to use protobuf with bazel. Before you can use # proto_library/_proto_library rules in a BUILD file, you need to # include protobuf repo as remote repositories in your WORKSPACE file. See # the WORKSPACE file in the same directory with this BUILD file for an # example. # For each .proto file, a proto_library target should be defined. This target # is not bound to any particular language. Instead, it defines the dependency # graph of the .proto files (i.e., proto imports) and serves as the provider # of .proto source files to the protocol compiler. # # Remote repository "com_google_protobuf" must be defined to use this rule. proto_library( name = "addressbook_proto", srcs = ["addressbook.proto"], deps = ["@com_google_protobuf//:timestamp_proto"], ) # The cc_proto_library rule generates C++ code for a proto_library rule. It # must have exactly one proto_library dependency. If you want to use multiple # proto_library targets, create a separate cc_proto_library target for each # of them. # # Remote repository "com_google_protobuf_cc" must be defined to use this rule. cc_proto_library( name = "addressbook_cc_proto", deps = [":addressbook_proto"], ) # cc_library/cc_binary targets can depend on cc_proto_library targets. cc_binary( name = "add_person_cpp", srcs = ["add_person.cc"], deps = [":addressbook_cc_proto"], ) cc_binary( name = "list_people_cpp", srcs = ["list_people.cc"], deps = [":addressbook_cc_proto"], ) # Similar to cc_proto_library but for Java. # # Remote repository "com_google_protobuf_java" must be defined to use this rule. java_proto_library( name = "addressbook_java_proto", deps = [":addressbook_proto"], ) java_binary( name = "add_person_java", srcs = ["AddPerson.java"], main_class = "AddPerson", deps = [":addressbook_java_proto"], ) java_binary( name = "list_people_java", srcs = ["ListPeople.java"], main_class = "ListPeople", deps = [":addressbook_java_proto"], ) # Java lite. # # Remote repository "com_google_protobuf_javalite" must be defined to use this # rule. java_lite_proto_library( name = "addressbook_java_lite_proto", deps = [":addressbook_proto"], ) # Java lite API is a subset of the regular Java API so if you only uses this # subset in your code, you can actually compile your code against both (i.e., # share code between server build and Android build). # # The lite version has a smaller code size, and you can see that by comparing # the resulted .jar file: # # $ bazel build :add_person_java_deploy.jar :add_person_java_lite_deploy.jar # $ ls -l bazel-bin/*_deploy.jar # -r-xr-xr-x 1 xiaofeng eng 1230797 Sep 8 12:24 bazel-bin/add_person_java_deploy.jar # -r-xr-xr-x 1 xiaofeng eng 236166 Sep 8 12:24 bazel-bin/add_person_java_lite_deploy.jar # # In the above example, the lite .jar file is 6 times smaller. With proper # proguard inlining/stripping, the difference can be much more larger than # that. java_binary( name = "add_person_java_lite", srcs = ["AddPerson.java"], main_class = "AddPerson", deps = [":addressbook_java_lite_proto"], ) java_binary( name = "list_people_java_lite", srcs = ["ListPeople.java"], main_class = "ListPeople", deps = [":addressbook_java_lite_proto"], )
