Publishing clients to hex

[wojtekmach]

I think there's a slightly different way you might try:

foo_service/
  mix.exs # {:foo_client, path: "foo_client"}

  foo_client/
    mix.exs
    proto/

that is, the client contains .proto files and the generated client code and that's what you publish on Hex. And the service depends on client to generate server code. Bonus points for integration testing the service using the client API!

edit: I just realised this is basically what you were saying 😅

I've been testing this strategy out and it seems to be working well. I'll work on updating the docs to reflect this.
