volo-build compiles thrift and protobuf idl files into rust code at compile-time.

Example

Usually, if you are using volo-cli to generate the code, you don't need to use volo-build directly.

If you want to use volo-build directly, you can follow the following steps:

First, add volo-build to your Cargo.toml:

toml [build-dependencies] volo-build = "*" # make sure you use a compatible version with `volo`

Second, creates a build.rs file:

rust fn main() { volo_build::Builder::default().write().unwrap(); }

Third, creates a volo.yml file in the same directory of build.rs with the following layout:

```yaml

idls: - source: local path: path/to/your/idl.thrift - source: local path: path/to/your/protobuf/idl.proto includes: - path/to/your/protobuf/ - source: git repo: git@github.com:cloudwego/volo.git ref: main path: path/in/repo/idl.thrift ```

That's it!
