Google Cloud Common: Node.js Client
Common components for Cloud APIs Node.js Client Libraries
A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG .
Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained .
Table of contents:
Quickstart
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/common
It's unlikely you will need to install this package directly, as it will be
installed as a dependency when you install other @google-cloud
packages.
The Google Cloud Common 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.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed via npm dist-tags
.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:
- Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
- Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.
Legacy tags available
-
legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag 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 stablelibraries are addressed with the highest priority.
