Objective-C Rules

Objective-C rules have not been adequately tested. They may or may not work for you.

Rule	Description
objc_proto_repositories	Load WORKSPACE dependencies.
objc_proto_compile	Generate protobuf source files.
objc_proto_library	Generate and compiles protobuf source files.

objc_proto_repositories

Enable support by loading the dependencies in your workspace.

load("@org_pubref_rules_protobuf//objc:rules.bzl", "objc_proto_repositories")
objc_proto_repositories()

objc_proto_compile

This is a thin wrapper over the proto_compile rule having language @org_pubref_rules_protobuf//objc.

load("@org_pubref_rules_protobuf//objc:rules.bzl", "objc_proto_compile")

objc_proto_compile(
  name = "protos",
  protos = ["message.proto"],
  with_grpc = True,
)

$ bazel build :protos
Target //:protos up-to-date:
  bazel-genfiles/message.pbobjc.h
  bazel-genfiles/message.pbobjc.m

objc_proto_library

Pass the set of protobuf source files to the protos attribute.

load("@org_pubref_rules_protobuf//objc:rules.bzl", "objc_proto_library")

objc_proto_library(
  name = "protolib",
  protos = ["message.proto"],
  with_grpc = False, # not yet implemented
)

$ bazel build :protolib
Target //:protolib up-to-date:
  bazel-bin/protolib.m
