Google Cloud Storage: Node.js Client

release level npm version codecov

Node.js idiomatic client for Cloud Storage .

Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data at any time. You can use Google Cloud Storage for a range of scenarios including serving website content, storing data for archival and disaster recovery, or distributing large data objects to users via direct download.

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG .

Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project .
  2. Enable billing for your project .
  3. Enable the Google Cloud Storage API .
  4. 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/storage 

Using the client library

 // Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Storage} = require(' @google-cloud/storage 
');

// For more information on ways to initialize Storage, please see
// https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/storage/latest/Storage.html

// Creates a client using Application Default Credentials
const storage = new Storage();

// Creates a client from a Google service account key
// const storage = new Storage({keyFilename: 'key.json'});

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
 */
// The ID of your GCS bucket
// const bucketName = 'your-unique-bucket-name';

async function createBucket() {
  // Creates the new bucket
  await storage. createBucket 
(bucketName);
  console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created.`);
}

createBucket().catch(console.error);

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 General Availability (GA). This means it is 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 GAlibraries are addressed with the highest priority.
