Is there compile option for generating message struct containing enumeration use enum-type version by default, instead of i32?

[alissa-tung]

destruct and construct those messages with i32 filed are annoying, and unsafe in someway

The short answer is: no.

prost-build will generate a getter for each enum field, which returns the enum type.

There are multiple issues and PR related to this. If you are interested in why this is the status quo, I suggest you read those.

Do you want to work on improving the generated API? If so, please contact me.
