Description

The Erlang Cap'n Proto Compiler plugin.

This module takes a CodeGeneratorRequest message and compiles the requested schema files into Erlang header files.

Thus, a my_schema.capnp will be compiled to my_schema.capnp.hrl, implementing my_schema/N functions for reading and writing Cap'n Proto messages using my_schema.

Schema functions

The schema functions implemented in a compiled schema header file are:

fun((root, schema_type(), message()) -> {ok, object()}): Get a reference to the root object in message.
fun((root, schema_type()) -> {ok, object()}): Set root object type for a new message.
fun((get, field_name(), object()) -> field_value()): Read object field value.
fun((get, object()) -> (field_name() | {field_name(), field_value()})): Read unnamed union value of object.
fun((set, field_name(), field_value(), object()) -> ok): Write value to object field.
fun((set, {field_name(), field_value()} | field_name(), object()) -> ok): Write unnamed union value.
fun((to_struct, schema_type(), object()) -> object()): Type cast object to another struct type.
fun((to_list, schema_type(), object()) -> list()): Type cast object to list.
fun((to_text | to_data, object()) -> binary()): Type cast object to text or data.
fun((schema) -> schema()): Get the compiled schema definition.

Where fun is named after the basename of the schema file (refer to the my_schema.capnp example in the Description section).

Function Index

compile_data/1	Compile the `CodeGeneratorRequest` message (unpacked) in `Data`.
compile_file/1	Read a `CodeGeneratorRequest` message (unpacked) from `FileName` and compile it.
compile_message/1	Compile the `CodeGeneratorRequest` message.

Function Details

compile_data/1

compile_data(Data::binary()) -> ok

Compile the CodeGeneratorRequest message (unpacked) in Data.

compile_file/1

compile_file(FileName::file:name_all()) -> ok

Read a CodeGeneratorRequest message (unpacked) from FileName and compile it.

compile_message/1

compile_message(Message::message()) -> ok

Compile the CodeGeneratorRequest message. The Message argument holds the raw segments data to process, no futher processing on the message itself will be carried out prior to the compilation step.
