Workaround for naming collisions?

[joeflatt]

Hi,

I'm new to this so not sure if it's a bug or a known issue that has a workaround.

I compile against a large set of proto files that contain a message named Object. I don't have any control over the proto files themselves. The generated typescript code won't compile because it makes use of static methods on JavaScript's Object class (i.e. Object.defineProperty).

Here's how I'm using protobuf-ts:
npx protoc --ts_out src/ --ts_opt generate_dependencies --proto_path apis/ find apis -name '*.proto'

Thanks!

That's a bug. Thanks for the report! Tracking in #161.

As a workaround, you should be fine with --ts_opt force_optimize_speed. If I'm not mistaken, this doesn't generate Object.defineProperty.

Thanks for the quick response! force_optimize_speed still includes Object.defineProperty... but I'm able to move ahead by not including the Object message for the time being.

Ah, sorry, it's force_optimize_code_size, not force_optimize_speed.

No need for that workaround though, just released v2.0.6 with a fix.
