javascript - Convert JSON object to protobuf IStruct - Stack Overflow

I am using the Dialogflow API for Nodejs.

This API is apparently implemented by Google via protocol buffers, though it presents a simple JavaScript/JSON based interface that I have used successfully for simple queries.

In order to request Dialogflow send me response data for a particular platform, I apparently need to encode a simple JSON object into protobuf format. The linked source gives an example that makes use of a "structjson util" that can presumably be used to do the necessary conversion:

const structjson = require('./structjson.js');

const request = {
    /* other properties omitted */
    queryParams: {
        payload: structjson.jsonToStructProto({source: 'ACTIONS_ON_GOOGLE'})
    },
};

Unfortunately, the link given for the structjson util is dead, and I can find no other reference to it.

I don't need to do anything other than encode a simple JSON object, as per the example above. Is there a simple utility (either runtime or mand line) that can be used to do that without having to do major surgery with the protobuf toolchain?

• 1 found the file in history github./googleapis/nodejs-dialogflow/blob/… – karthick Commented Dec 30, 2019 at 21:21
• thanks @karthick that's very helpful. I've also found that the samples were updated to use a new library for the conversion; I'll follow up with an answer to that effect. – Myk Willis Commented Dec 30, 2019 at 21:59

It seems the Google Dialogflow samples were updated to use the pb-util package for JSON-to-protobuf conversions. This package provides a method for encoding JSON to protobuf easily, so the example from the original question simply bees:

const {struct} = require('pb-util');

const request = {
    /* other properties omitted */
    queryParams: {
        payload: struct.encode({source: 'ACTIONS_ON_GOOGLE'})
    },
};

Thanks also to @karthick for locating the original structjson file in the Dialogflow samples repo.
