Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install --save @google-cloud/datastore
Using the client library
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const Datastore = require('@google-cloud/datastore');
// Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';
// Creates a client
const datastore = new Datastore({
projectId: projectId,
});
// The kind for the new entity
const kind = 'Task';
// The name/ID for the new entity
const name = 'sampletask1';
// The Cloud Datastore key for the new entity
const taskKey = datastore.key([kind, name]);
// Prepares the new entity
const task = {
key: taskKey,
data: {
description: 'Buy milk',
},
};
// Saves the entity
datastore
.save(task)
.then(() => {
console.log(`Saved ${task.key.name}: ${task.data.description}`);
})
.catch(err => {
console.error('ERROR:', err);
});

Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning .
This library is considered to be General Availability (GA) . This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
