• --enum_raw_type: Use string as the type for enums in Protobuf (default: true).
• --skip_unsupported: Skip fields with types that are not supported (default: true).
• --time_proto_type string: Protobuf type to use for time.Time fields. Options: int64, string, google.protobuf.Timestamp (default: int64).
• --uuid_proto_type string: Protobuf type to use for uuid.UUID fields. Options: string, bytes (default: string).
• --unsupported_proto_type string: Protobuf type to use for unsupported fields. Options: google.protobuf.Any, google.protobuf.Struct, bytes (default: google.protobuf.Any).
• --import_proto string: Define external Protobuf imports. Format: path1,package1,type1;path2,package2,type2 (default: google/protobuf/any.proto,google.protobuf,Any;).

service

Generates service code, including both Protobuf definitions and Go service implementations.

This command has two subcommands: proto and golang.

service proto

Generates a .proto file for a new service.

Flags:

• --name string: (Required) The name of the service.
• --package string: The package name for the generated .proto file (default: dash.v1).

sphere-cli service golang --name <service-name> [--package <package-name>] [--mod <go-module-path>]

Flags:

• --name string: (Required) The name of the service.
• --package string: The package name for the generated Go code (default: dash.v1).
• --mod string: The Go module path for the generated code (default: github.com/go-sphere/sphere-layout).

---

rename

Performs a project-wide rename of the Go module path.

Usage:

sphere-cli rename --old <old-module> --new <new-module> [--target <directory>]
