Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “With the plugin, we can use the --validate_out option in protoc.”

A block of code is set as follows:

message AddTaskRequest {
  string description = 1;
  google.protobuf.Timestamp due_date = 2;
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

proto/todo/v2
├── todo.pb.go
├── todo.pb.validate.go
├── todo.proto
└── todo_grpc.pb.go

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ bazel run //:gazelle-update-repos
