Protocol buffer files
Protocol buffer files define the data structures used by Cosmos SDK modules.
Files and directories
Inside the proto
directory, a directory for each custom module contains query.proto
, tx.proto
, genesis.proto
, and other files.
The ignite chain serve
command automatically generates Go code from proto files on every file change.
Third-party proto files
Third-party proto files, including those of Cosmos SDK and Tendermint, are bundled with Ignite CLI. To import third-party proto files in your custom proto files:
import "cosmos/base/query/v1beta1/pagination.proto";
You can also manually add third-party proto files. By default, Ignite CLI imports proto files from these directories: third_party/proto
and proto_vendor
. You can define third-party paths of the import directory in config.yml
:
build:
proto:
third_party_paths: ["my_third_party_proto"]
