@google-cloud/bigtable

module

The default export of the @google-cloud/bigtable package is the Bigtable class.

See Bigtable and ClientConfig for client methods and configuration options.

Examples

Install the client library with npm:

npm install --save @google-cloud/bigtable

Import the client library

const Bigtable = require('@google-cloud/bigtable');

Create a client that uses Application Default Credentials (ADC):

const bigtable = new Bigtable();

Create a client with explicit credentials:

const bigtable = new Bigtable({
  projectId: 'your-project-id',
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});

Full quickstart example:

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const Bigtable = require('@google-cloud/bigtable');

// Creates a client
const bigtable = new Bigtable();

// The name for the new instance
const instanceName = 'my-new-instance';

// Creates the new instance
bigtable
  .createInstance(instanceName, {
    clusters: [
      {
        name: 'my-cluster',
        location: 'us-central1-c',
        nodes: 3,
      },
    ],
  })
  .then(() => {
    console.log(`Instance ${instanceName} created.`);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log('ERROR:', err);
  });
