Provides text analysis operations such as sentiment analysis and entity recognition. v1

Package

Constructors

(constructor)(opts, gaxInstance)

constructor(opts?: ClientOptions, gaxInstance?: typeof gax | typeof gax.fallback);

Construct an instance of LanguageServiceClient.

Parameters
Name	Description
`opts`	`ClientOptions`
`gaxInstance`	`typeof gax \| typeof gax.fallback` : loaded instance of `google-gax`. Useful if you need to avoid loading the default gRPC version and want to use the fallback HTTP implementation. Load only fallback version and pass it to the constructor: ``` const gax = require('google-gax/build/src/fallback'); // avoids loading google-gax with gRPC const client = new LanguageServiceClient({fallback: 'rest'}, gax); ```

Properties

apiEndpoint

static get apiEndpoint(): string;

The DNS address for this API service - same as servicePath(), exists for compatibility reasons.

auth

auth: gax.GoogleAuth;

descriptors

descriptors: Descriptors;

innerApiCalls

innerApiCalls: {
        [name: string]: Function;
    };

languageServiceStub

languageServiceStub?: Promise<{
        [name: string]: Function;
    }>;

port

static get port(): number;

The port for this API service.

scopes

static get scopes(): string[];

The scopes needed to make gRPC calls for every method defined in this service.

servicePath

static get servicePath(): string;

The DNS address for this API service.

warn

warn: (code: string, message: string, warnType?: string) => void;

initialize()

initialize(): Promise<{

You can await on this method if you want to make sure the client is initialized.

Returns
Type	Description
`Promise<{ [name: string]: Function; }>`	{Promise} A promise that resolves to an authenticated service stub.
