Google Cloud Node.js Client

Node.js idiomatic client for Google Cloud Platform services.

NPM Version Travis Build Status Dependency Status Coverage Status

This client supports the following Google Cloud Platform services:

If you need support for other Google APIs, check out the Google Node.js API Client library.

Quick Start

$ npm install --save gcloud

Example Applications

  • nodejs-getting-started - A sample and tutorial that demonstrates how to build a complete web application using Cloud Datastore, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Pub/Sub and deploy it to Google App Engine or Google Compute Engine.
  • gcloud-node-todos - A TodoMVC backend using gcloud-node and Datastore.
  • gitnpm - Easily lookup an npm package's GitHub repo using gcloud-node and Google App Engine.
  • gcloud-kvstore - Use Datastore as a simple key-value store.
  • hya-wave - Cloud-based web sample editor. Part of the hya-io family of products.
  • gstore-node - Google Datastore Entities Modeling library.
  • gstore-api - REST API builder for Google Datastore Entities.

Authentication

With gcloud-node it's incredibly easy to get authenticated and start using Google's APIs. You can set your credentials on a global basis as well as on a per-API basis. See each individual API section below to see how you can auth on a per-API-basis. This is useful if you want to use different accounts for different Google Cloud services.

On Google Compute Engine

If you are running this client on Google Compute Engine, we handle authentication for you with no configuration. You just need to make sure that when you set up the GCE instance, you add the correct scopes for the APIs you want to access.

// Authenticating on a global basis.
var projectId = process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT; // E.g. 'grape-spaceship-123'
var gcloud = require('gcloud')({
  projectId: projectId
});

// ...you're good to go! See the next section to get started using the APIs.

Elsewhere

If you are not running this client on Google Compute Engine, you need a Google Developers service account. To create a service account:

  1. Visit the Google Developers Console.
  2. Create a new project or click on an existing project.
  3. Navigate to APIs & auth > APIs section and turn on the following APIs (you may need to enable billing in order to use these services):
  • Google Cloud Datastore API
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Google Cloud Storage JSON API
  1. Navigate to APIs & auth > Credentials and then:
  • If you want to use a new service account, click on Create new Client ID and select Service account. After the account is created, you will be prompted to download the JSON key file that the library uses to authenticate your requests.
  • If you want to generate a new key for an existing service account, click on Generate new JSON key and download the JSON key file.
// Authenticating on a global basis.
var projectId = process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT; // E.g. 'grape-spaceship-123'

var gcloud = require('gcloud')({
  projectId: projectId,
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});

// ...you're good to go! See the next section to get started using the APIs.

You can also set auth on a per-API-instance basis. The examples below show you how.

Google BigQuery

Preview

var gcloud = require('gcloud');

// Authenticating on a per-API-basis. You don't need to do this if you auth on a
// global basis (see Authentication section above).
var bigquery = gcloud.bigquery({
  projectId: 'my-project',
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});

// Access an existing dataset and table.
var schoolsDataset = bigquery.dataset('schools');
var schoolsTable = schoolsDataset.table('schoolsData');

// Import data into a table.
schoolsTable.import('/local/file.json', function(err, job) {});

// Get results from a query job.
var job = bigquery.job('job-id');

// Use a callback.
job.getQueryResults(function(err, rows) {});

// Or get the same results as a readable stream.
job.getQueryResults().on('data', function(row) {});

Google Cloud Bigtable

You may need to create a cluster to use the Google Cloud Bigtable API with your project.

Preview

var gcloud = require('gcloud');

// Authenticating on a per-API-basis. You don't need to do this if you auth on a
// global basis (see Authentication section above).
var bigtable = gcloud.bigtable({
  projectId: 'my-project',
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json',
  zone: 'my-zone',
  cluster: 'my-cluster'
});

var table = bigtable.table('prezzy');

table.getRows(function(err, rows) {});

// Update a row in your table.
var row = table.row('alincoln');

row.save('follows:gwashington', 1, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    // Error handling omitted.
  }

  row.get('follows:gwashington', function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
      // Error handling omitted.
    }

    // data = {
    //   follows: {
    //     gwashington: [
    //       {
    //         value: 1
    //       }
    //     ]
    //   }
    // }
  });
});

Google Cloud Datastore

Follow the activation instructions to use the Google Cloud Datastore API with your project.

Preview

var gcloud = require('gcloud');

// Authenticating on a per-API-basis. You don't need to do this if you auth on a
// global basis (see Authentication section above).

var datastore = gcloud.datastore({

  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});

var key = datastore.key(['Product', 'Computer']);

datastore.get(key, function(err, entity) {
  console.log(err || entity);
});

// Save data to Datastore.
var blogPostData = {
  title: 'How to make the perfect homemade pasta',
  author: 'Andrew Chilton',
  isDraft: true
};

var blogPostKey = datastore.key('BlogPost');

datastore.save({
  key: blogPostKey,
  data: blogPostData
}, function(err) {
  // `blogPostKey` has been updated with an ID so you can do more operations
  // with it, such as an update.
  blogPostData.isDraft = false;

  datastore.save({
    key: blogPostKey,
    data: blogPostData
  }, function(err) {
    if (!err) {
      // The blog post is now published!
    }
  });
