|
||
<p>I've been working a lot with <a href=https://capnproto.org/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Cap'N Proto</a> recently with Rust, but there's a real dearth of information
|
||
on how to set up and get going quickly. In the interest of trying to get more people using this (because I think it's
|
||
fantastic), I'm going to work through a couple of examples detailing what exactly should be done to get going.</p>
|
||
<p>So, what is Cap'N Proto? It's a data serialization library. It has contemporaries with <a href=https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Protobuf</a>
|
||
and <a href=https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">FlatBuffers</a>, but is better compared with FlatBuffers. The whole point behind it
|
||
is to define a schema language and serialization format such that:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Applications that do not share the same base programming language can communicate</li>
|
||
<li>The data and schema you use can naturally evolve over time as your needs change</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>Accompanying this are typically code generators that take the schemas you define for your application and give you back
|
||
code for different languages to get data to and from that schema.</p>
|
||
<p>Now, what makes Cap'N Proto different from, say, Protobuf, is that there is no serialization/deserialization step the same way
|
||
as is implemented with Protobuf. Instead, the idea is that the message itself can be loaded in memory and used directly there.</p>
|
||
<p>We're going to take a look at a series of progressively more complex projects that use Cap'N Proto in an effort to provide some
|
||
examples of what idiomatic usage looks like, and shorten the startup time needed to make use of this library in Rust projects.
|
||
If you want to follow along, feel free. If not, I've posted <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">the final result</a>
|
||
for reference.</p>

|
||
<p>The <code>capnp</code> binary itself is needed for taking the schema files you write and turning them into a format that can be used by the
|
||
code generation libraries. Don't ask me what that actually means, I just know that you need to make sure this is installed.</p>
|
||
<p>I'll refer you to <a href=https://capnproto.org/install.html target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Cap'N Proto's installation instructions</a> here. As a quick TLDR though:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Linux users will likely have a binary shipped by their package manager - On Ubuntu, <code>apt install capnproto</code> is enough</li>
|
||
<li>OS X users can use <a href=https://brew.sh/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Homebrew</a> as an easy install path. Just <code>brew install capnp</code></li>
|
||
<li>Windows users are a bit more complicated. If you're using <a href=https://chocolatey.org/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Chocolatey</a>, there's <a href=https://chocolatey.org/packages/capnproto/ target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">a package</a> available. If that doesn't work however, you need to download <a href=https://capnproto.org/capnproto-c++-win32-0.6.1.zip target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">a release zip</a> and make sure that the <code>capnp.exe</code> binary is in your <code>%PATH%</code> environment variable</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>The way you know you're done with this step is if the following command works in your shell:</p>
|

<div class="language-bash codeBlockContainer_Ckt0 theme-code-block" style="--prism-background-color:hsl(230, 1%, 98%);--prism-color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><div class=codeBlockContent_biex><pre tabindex=0 class="prism-code language-bash codeBlock_bY9V thin-scrollbar" style="background-color:hsl(230, 1%, 98%);color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><code class=codeBlockLines_e6Vv><span class=token-line style="color:hsl(230, 8%, 24%)"><span class="token plain">capnp </span><span class="token function" style="color:hsl(221, 87%, 60%)">id</span><br></span></code></pre><div class=buttonGroup__atx><button type=button aria-label="Copy code to clipboard" title=Copy class=clean-btn><span class=copyButtonIcons_eSgA aria-hidden=true><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class=copyButtonIcon_y97N><path fill=currentColor d="M19,21H8V7H19M19,5H8A2,2 0 0,0 6,7V21A2,2 0 0,0 8,23H19A2,2 0 0,0 21,21V7A2,2 0 0,0 19,5M16,1H4A2,2 0 0,0 2,3V17H4V3H16V1Z"/></svg><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class=copyButtonSuccessIcon_LjdS><path fill=currentColor d=M21,7L9,19L3.5,13.5L4.91,12.09L9,16.17L19.59,5.59L21,7Z /></svg></span></button></div></div></div>

<p>We're going to start with writing a pretty trivial data schema that we can extend later. This is just intended to make sure

you get familiar with how to start from a basic project.</p>

<p>First, we're going to create a top-level directory for storing the schema files in:</p>

<p>This sets up the protocol compiler (<code>capnpc</code> from earlier) to compile the schema we've built so far.</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Because Cap'N Proto schema files can re-use types specified in other files, the <code>src_prefix()</code> tells the compiler
|
||
where to look for those extra files at.</li>
|
||
<li>We specify the schema file we're including by hand. In a much larger project, you could presumably build the <code>CompilerCommand</code>
|
||
dynamically, but we won't worry too much about that one for now.</li>

|
||
<p>If you've done everything correctly so far, you should be able to actually build the project and see the auto-generated code.
|
||
Run a <code>cargo build</code> command, and if you don't see <code>cargo</code> complaining, you're doing just fine!</p>
|
||
<p>So where exactly does the generated code go to? I think it's critically important for people to be able to see what the generated
|
||
code looks like, because you need to understand what you're actually programming against. The short answer is: the generated code lives
|
||
somewhere in the <code>target/</code> directory.</p>
|
||
<p>The long answer is that you're best off running a <code>find</code> command to get the actual file path:</p>

<p>See if there are any paths in your target directory that look similar.</p>
|
||
<p>Now, the file content looks pretty nasty. I've included an example <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>
|
||
if you aren't following along at home. There are a couple things I'll try and point out though so you can get an idea of how
|
||
the schema we wrote for the "Point" message is tied to the generated code.</p>
|
||
<p>First, the Cap'N Proto library splits things up into <code>Builder</code> and <code>Reader</code> structs. These are best thought of the same way
|
||
Rust separates <code>mut</code> from non-<code>mut</code> code. <code>Builder</code>s are <code>mut</code> versions of your message, and <code>Reader</code>s are immutable versions.</p>
|
||
<p>For example, the <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L90 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>Builder</code> impl</a> for <code>point</code> defines <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L105 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>get_x()</code></a>, <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L109 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>set_x()</code></a>, <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L113 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>get_y()</code></a>, and <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L117 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>set_y()</code></a> methods.
|
||
In comparison, the <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L38 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>Reader</code> impl</a> only defines <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L47 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>get_x()</code></a> and <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/target/debug/build/capnp_cookbook_1-c6e2990393c32fe6/out/point_capnp.rs#L51 target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>get_y()</code></a> methods.</p>
|
||
<p>So now we know that there are some <code>get</code> and <code>set</code> methods available for our <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> coordinates;
|
||
but what do we actually do with those?</p>
|
||
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id=step-6-making-a-point>Step 6: Making a point<a href=#step-6-making-a-point class=hash-link aria-label="Direct link to Step 6: Making a point" title="Direct link to Step 6: Making a point"></a></h2>
|
||
<p>So we've install Cap'N Proto, gotten a project set up, and can generate schema code now. It's time to actually start building
|
||
Cap'N Proto messages! I'm going to put the code you need here because it's small, and put some extra long comments inline. This code
|
||
should go in <a href=https://github.com/bspeice/capnp_cookbook_1/blob/master/src/main.rs target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer"><code>src/main.rs</code></a>:</p>
