Quickstart
Before you begin
- Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
- Enable billing for your project.
- Enable the Cloud Bigtable API.
- Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/bigtable
Using the client library
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Bigtable} = require('@google-cloud/bigtable');
const bigtable = new Bigtable();
async function quickstart() {
// Connect to an existing instance:my-bigtable-instance
const instance = bigtable.instance(INSTANCE_ID);
// Connect to an existing table:my-table
const table = instance.table(TABLE_ID);
// Read a row from my-table using a row key
const [singleRow] = await table.row('r1').get();
// Print the row key and data (column value, labels, timestamp)
const rowData = JSON.stringify(singleRow.data, null, 4);
console.log(`Row key: ${singleRow.id}\nData: ${rowData}`);
}
quickstart();
Samples
Samples are in the samples/
directory. Each sample's README.md
has instructions for running its sample.
| Sample | Source Code | Try it | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------ | | Delete Snippets | source code | | | Filter Snippets | source code | | | Instances | source code | | | Quickstart | source code | | | Read Snippets | source code | | | Tableadmin | source code | | | Write Batch | source code | | | Write Conditionally | source code | | | Write Increment | source code | | | Simple Insert | source code | |
The Cloud Bigtable Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.
Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
- Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
- Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
For example, npm install @google-cloud/bigtable@legacy-8
installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be 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 stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
