An idiomatic C++ client library for theCloud Build API, a service that executes your builds on Google Cloud Platform's infrastructure.
While this library isGA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/cloudbuild/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Build API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/cloudbuild/v1/cloud_build_client.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 2) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace cloudbuild = ::google::cloud::cloudbuild_v1;
auto client =
cloudbuild::CloudBuildClient(cloudbuild::MakeCloudBuildConnection());
auto const* filter = R"""(status="WORKING")"""; // List only running builds
for (auto b : client.ListBuilds(argv[1], filter)) {
if (!b) throw std::move(b).status();
std::cout << b->DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
This library offers multiple*Clientclasses, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.
The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the*Clientclasses when testing your application.
