# Flatbuffers schemas

## Generating sources

Given a `.fbs` file, source code can be generated using `flatc` from
this directory:

```shell
flatc --go --go-module-name galaxy/schema/fbs {file}.fbs
```

The `--go-module-name` flag rewrites cross-namespace imports to the
fully-qualified module path (e.g. `common "galaxy/schema/fbs/common"`)
so the generated code links inside this Go module without local
replace directives. Omitting the flag yields imports such as
`common "common"` which fail to resolve.
