Description

> ### Original Description
> To eliminate two files definition by users (proto.file and typescript) we can create a tool to automatically generate typescript interfaces/classes from a proto file and add it, for example, to CLI.
>
> Interesting example is this tool -> https://geotho.github.io/protobuf-to-typescript/
> But the main problem this tool doesn't handle services and RPC methods.
>
> Maybe we need to create our generating tool based on this? If yes, where to put our tool and how it will work?
>
