This module provides helper methods for the generated class corresponding to the google.protobuf.FieldMask Well-Known Type. These methods are injected into the Protobuf::WKT::FieldMask class, which should be automatically used when google/protobuf/field_mask.proto is processed.
The FieldMask type is used to specify a subset of fields that should be returned by a get operation or modified by an update operation.
METHODS
to_string()
Returns the field mask paths as a single comma-separated string.
from_string($str)
Parses a comma-separated string and populates the paths repeated field.
Returns $self for chaining.
get_injected_methods()
Internal method used by Protobuf::ClassGenerator to list methods to inject into the class.
