Description
In some cases, especially when creating entity states, an ID field has a value which equals the value of a field of a nested message.
For example, in ProtoData, ProtobufSourceFile
message has the ID field file_path
, which has the same value as the path
value of the nested File
message contained in the file
field:
message ProtobufSourceFile {
option (entity).kind = VIEW;
// The relative path to the file.
//
// Must be the same as `file.path`.
//
FilePath file_path = 1;
File file = 2;
...
}
A programmer has to remember this fact, and currently there's no way to guard him against an error. It would be more convenient to have a validation option, which ensures that field values are equal:
message ProtobufSourceFile {
option (entity).kind = VIEW;
// The relative path to the file.
//
// Must be the same as `file.path`.
//
FilePath file_path = 1 [(same_as) = "file.path");
File file = 2;
