# proto-lens-jsonpb
Quick hack to generate orphan ToJSON/FromJSON instances for proto-lens.
This requires the use of [proto-lens](https://github.com/google/proto-lens) to generate haskell datatypes from proto messages.
## Requirements
1. Install `protoc` (e.g., `brew install protoc`)
2. Install the required protoc plugins:
- `cabal install proto-lens-protoc`
- `go install github.com/tclem/proto-lens-jsonpb/protoc-gen-jsonpb_haskell`
## Usage
Use the protoc plugin to generate associated protobuf types from a proto file.
```
protoc -I=. --proto_path=./proto \
--plugin=protoc-gen-haskell=`which proto-lens-protoc` --haskell_out=./app \
--plugin=protoc-gen-jsonpb_haskell=./script/run-jsonpb_haskell --jsonpb_haskell_out=./app \
haberdasher.proto
```
