Class Key (6.6.2)

Build a Datastore Key object.

Package

@google-cloud/datastore

Examples

 //-
// Create an incomplete key with a kind value of `Company`.
//-
const {Datastore} = require(' @google-cloud/datastore 
');
const datastore = new Datastore 
();
const key = datastore. key 
('Company'); 
 //-
// Create a complete key with a kind value of `Company` and id`123`.
//-
const {Datastore} = require(' @google-cloud/datastore 
');
const datastore = new Datastore 
();
const key = datastore. key 
(['Company', 123]); 
 //-
// If the ID integer is outside the bounds of a JavaScript Number
// object, create an Int.
//-
const {Datastore} = require(' @google-cloud/datastore 
');
const datastore = new Datastore 
();
const key = datastore. key 
([
  'Company',
  datastore. int 
('100000000000001234')
]); 
 const {Datastore} = require(' @google-cloud/datastore 
');
const datastore = new Datastore 
();
// Create a complete key with a kind value of `Company` and name `Google`.
// Note: `id` is used for numeric identifiers and `name` is used otherwise.
const key = datastore. key 
(['Company', 'Google']); 
 //-
// Create a complete key from a provided namespace and path.
//-
const {Datastore} = require(' @google-cloud/datastore 
');
const datastore = new Datastore 
();
const key = datastore. key 
({
  namespace: 'My-NS',
  path: ['Company', 123]
}); 

Serialize the key for later re-use.

 const {Datastore} = require(' @google-cloud/datastore 
');
const datastore = new Datastore 
();
const key = datastore. key 
({
  namespace: 'My-NS',
  path: ['Company', 123]
});
// Later...
const key = datastore. key 
( key 
. serialized 
);
