Quickstart

$3

1. [Select or create a Cloud Platform project][projects].
1. [Enable the Google Cloud Datastore API][enable_api].
1. [Set up authentication][auth] so you can access the
API from your local workstation.

$3

``bash
npm install @google-cloud/datastore
`




$3

`javascript
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Datastore} = require('@google-cloud/datastore');

// Creates a client
const datastore = new Datastore();

async function quickstart() {
// The kind for the new entity
const kind = 'Task';

// The name/ID for the new entity
const name = 'sampletask1';

// The Cloud Datastore key for the new entity
const taskKey = datastore.key([kind, name]);

// Prepares the new entity
const task = {
key: taskKey,
data: {
description: 'Buy milk',
},
};

// Saves the entity
await datastore.save(task);
console.log(Saved ${task.key.name}: ${task.data.description});
}
quickstart();

#### Emulator returning DEADLINE_EXCEEDED, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Reference Issue: #95

When using the emulator, you may experience errors such as "DEADLINE_EXCEEDED" within your application, corresponding to an error in the emulator: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". These errors are unique to the emulator environment and will not persist in production.

A workaround is available, provided by @ohmpatel1997 here.

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/datastore@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.
