While prototyping the javascript / typescript integration we discovered, that the existing build tooling can do sufficient task scheduling (e.g. it can invoke a code generator for protocol buffers after installing them). What we discovered is that a) the installation of Buffrs and b) the invocation of protoc is pretty cumbersome and repetitive.

A potential solution could be, to package buffrs and distribute it as npm package (making the installation happen in the background) and provide node scripts for installation and code generation.

So tasks are:

  • Publish prebuild binaries for an array of architectures
  • Somehow vendor them using npx
  • Provide a shell script to do the code compilation and add the protoc npm deps in the npm pkg
  • Create a helsing service account for npm
  • Publish buffrs to npm
