# About chromedp-gen
chromedp-gen is a standalone cli tool for the chromedp package that generates
the types for the chrome domain APIs as defined in `protocol.json`.
`chromedp-gen` is a standalone cli tool for the [chromedp](https://github.com/knq/chromedp)
package that generates the types for the chrome domain APIs as defined in
Chrome's `protocol.json`.
# Updating
## Updating protocol.json
Run update.sh to retrieve and combine the latest `js_protocol.json` and
`browser_protocol.json` into `protocol.json`.
Run [`update.sh`](update.sh) to retrieve and combine the latest
[`browser_protocol.json`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/third_party/WebKit/Source/core/inspector/browser_protocol.json) and
[`js_protocol.json`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/master/src/inspector/js_protocol.json)
from the [Chromium source tree](https://chromium.googlesource.com/) into [`protocol.json`](protocol.json).
# Running
## Installing quicktemplate and easyjson
`chromedp-gen` uses [quicktemplate](https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate) for
code generation templates, and uses [easyjson](https://github.com/mailru/easyjson)
for JSON marshaling/unmarshaling.
Unfortunately, both of these projects cannot be used directly out of the box,
as the versions used by `chromedp-gen` make use of a couple minor modifications:
1. quicktemplate has been modified to recognize '{% end %}' templates
2. easyjson has been modified to always output generated code in the same order
(previously, the mailru version did not always generate the same output, as
a couple points in the code were being affected by the Go map/key order
issue).
I ([kenshaw](https://github.com/kenshaw)) have put in issues/pull requests to
both projects in the hope that the changes I've made get merged and/or fixed
otherwise.
For now, the exact versions that are in use with `chromedp-gen` can be obtained
on my personal Github account:
* [github.com/kenshaw/quicktemplate](https://github.com/kenshaw/quicktemplate)
* [github.com/kenshaw/easyjson](https://github.com/kenshaw/easyjson)
The commands (and their associated dependencies) can be installed in the usual
Go way:
```sh
go get -u github.com/kenshaw/quicktemplate/qtc github.com/kenshaw/easyjson/easyjson
```
Each package provides a command (`qtc` and `easyjson`, respectively) that need
to be available on the path for the `chromedp-gen` command to work.
## Generating types for chromedp
Assuming the `qtc` and `easyjson` commands are available (see above), one can
then run the [`build.sh`](build.sh) which will handle generating template
files, and building/invoking the `chromedp-gen` command.
## Reference Output
The output of running `update.sh` and `build.sh` is below:
```sh
ken@ken-desktop:~/src/go/src/github.com/knq/chromedp/cmd/chromedp-gen$ ./update.sh
# download
curl -s $BROWSER_PROTO | base64 -d > $BROWSER_TMP
curl -s $JS_PROTO | base64 -d > $JS_TMP
# merge browser_protocol.json and js_protocol.json
jq -s '[.[] | to_entries] | flatten | reduce .[] as $dot ({}; .[$dot.key] += $dot.value)' $BROWSER_TMP $JS_TMP > $OUT
# convert boolean values listed as strings to real booleans
# (this is not used in favor of using the custom Bool type that correctly JSON unmarshals the value)
# left here for completeness
#perl -pi -e 's/"\s*:\s*"(true|false)"/": \1/g' $OUT
