Datastore
Source: index.
Idiomatic class for interacting with Cloud Datastore. Uses the lower-level v1.DatastoreClient class under the hood.
In addition to the constructor options shown here, the Datastore class constructor accepts the same options accepted by v1.DatastoreClient.
The Datastore Emulator
Make sure you have the gcloud SDK installed, then run:
$ gcloud beta emulators datastore start --no-legacy
You will see the following printed:
[datastore] API endpoint: http://localhost:8005
[datastore] If you are using a library that supports the
DATASTORE_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable, run:
[datastore]
[datastore] export DATASTORE_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8005
[datastore]
[datastore] Dev App Server is now running.
Set that environment variable and your localhost Datastore will
automatically be used. You can also pass this address in manually with
apiEndpoint.
Additionally, DATASTORE_PROJECT_ID is recognized. If you have this set,
you don't need to provide a projectId.

Examples
Import the client library
const {Datastore} = require('@google-cloud/datastore');
<caption>Create a client that uses <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#providing_credentials_to_your_application">Application
Default Credentials (ADC)</a>:</caption> const datastore = new Datastore();
<caption>Create a client with <a
href="https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#obtaining_and_providing_service_account_credentials_manually">explicit
credentials</a>:</caption> const datastore = new Datastore({ projectId:
'your-project-id', keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});
Retrieving Records
const {Datastore} = require('@google-cloud/datastore');
const datastore = new Datastore();
// Records, called "entities" in Datastore, are retrieved by using a key. The
// key is more than a numeric identifier, it is a complex data structure that
// can be used to model relationships. The simplest key has a string `kind`
// value, and either a numeric `id` value, or a string `name` value.
//
// A single record can be retrieved with {@link Datastore#key} and
// {@link Datastore#get}.
//-
const key = datastore.key(['Company', 'Google']);
datastore.get(key, function(err, entity) {
// entity = The record.
// entity[datastore.KEY] = The key for this entity.
});
//-
// <h3>Querying Records</h3>
//
// Create a query with {@link Datastore#createQuery}.
//-
const query = datastore.createQuery('Company');
//-
// Multiple records can be found that match criteria with
// {@link Query#filter}.
//-
query.filter('location', 'CA');
//-
// Records can also be ordered with {@link Query#order}.
//-
query.order('name');
//-
// The number of records returned can be specified with
// {@link Query#limit}.
//-
query.limit(5);
//-
// Records' key structures can also be queried with
// {@link Query#hasAncestor}.
//-
const ancestorKey = datastore.key(['ParentCompany', 'Alphabet']);
query.hasAncestor(ancestorKey);
//-
// Run the query with {@link Datastore#runQuery}.
//-
datastore.runQuery(query, (err, entities) => {
// entities = An array of records.
// Access the Key object for an entity.
const firstEntityKey = entities[0][datastore.KEY];
});
Paginating Records
// Imagine building a website that allows a user to sift through hundreds of
// their contacts. You'll likely want to only display a subset of these at
// once, so you set a limit.
//-
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const NUM_RESULTS_PER_PAGE = 15;
app.get('/contacts', (req, res) => {
const query = datastore.createQuery('Contacts')
.limit(NUM_RESULTS_PER_PAGE);
if (req.query.nextPageCursor) {
query.start(req.query.nextPageCursor);
}
datastore.runQuery(query, (err, entities, info) => {
if (err) {
// Error handling omitted.
return;
}
// Respond to the front end with the contacts and the cursoring token
// from the query we just ran.
const frontEndResponse = {
contacts: entities
};
// Check if more results may exist.
if (info.moreResults !== datastore.NO_MORE_RESULTS) {
frontEndResponse.nextPageCursor = info.endCursor;
}
res.render('contacts', frontEndResponse);
});
});
Creating Records
// New entities can be created and persisted with {@link Datastore#save}.
// The entitiy must have a key to be saved. If you don't specify an
// identifier for the key, one is generated for you.
//
// We will create a key with a `name` identifier, "Google".
//-
const key = datastore.key(['Company', 'Google']);
const data = {
name: 'Google',
location: 'CA'
};
datastore.save({
key: key,
data: data
}, (err) => {
if (!err) {
// Record saved successfully.
}
});
//-
// We can verify the data was saved by using {@link Datastore#get}.
//-
datastore.get(key, (err, entity) => {
// entity = {
// name: 'Google',
// location: 'CA'
// }
});
//-
// If we want to update this record, we can modify the data object and re-
// save it.
//-
data.symbol = 'GOOG';
datastore.save({
key: key, // defined above (datastore.key(['Company', 'Google']))
data: data
}, (err, entity) => {
if (!err) {
// Record updated successfully.
}
});
Deleting Records
// Entities can be removed from Datastore by passing the entity's key object
// to {@link Datastore#delete}.
//-
const key = datastore.key(['Company', 'Google']);
datastore.delete(key, (err) => {
if (!err) {
// Record deleted successfully.
}
});
Transactions
// Complex logic can be wrapped in a transaction with
// {@link Datastore#transaction}. All queries and updates run within
// the transaction will be applied when the `done` function is called.
//-
const transaction = datastore.transaction();
transaction.run((err) => {
if (err) {
// Error handling omitted.
}
const key = datastore.key(['Company', 'Google']);
transaction.get(key, (err, entity) => {
if (err) {
// Error handling omitted.
}
entity.symbol = 'GOOG';
transaction.save(entity);
transaction.commit((err) => {
if (!err) {
// Transaction committed successfully.
}
});
});
});

const datastore = new Datastore();
const customerId1 = 2993844;
const customerId2 = 4993882;
const customerKey1 = datastore.key(['Customer', customerId1]);

key([options]) → Key
Helper to create a Key object, scoped to the instance's namespace by default.
You may also specify a configuration object to define a namespace and path.
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');
<caption>Create a complete key with a kind value of `Company` and id
`123`.</caption> const {Datastore} = require('@google-cloud/datastore');
const datastore = new Datastore();
const key = datastore.key(['Company', 123]);
<caption>If the ID integer is outside the bounds of a JavaScript Number
object, create an Int.</caption> 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']);
<caption>Create a complete key from a provided namespace and
path.</caption> const {Datastore} = require('@google-cloud/datastore');
const datastore = new Datastore();
const key = datastore.key({
namespace: 'My-NS',
path: ['Company', 123]
});
Parameters
| Name | Type | Optional | Description | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
options |
(object, string, or array) |
Yes |
Key path. To specify or override a namespace, you must use an object here to explicitly state it. Values in
|
- Returns
-
A newly created Key from the options given.
runQuery(query[, options][, callback])
Datastore allows you to query entities by kind, filter them by property filters, and sort them by a property name. Projection and pagination are also supported.
The query is run, and the results are returned as the second argument to your callback. A third argument may also exist, which is a query object that uses the end cursor from the previous query as the starting cursor for the next query. You can pass that object back to this method to see if more results exist.
Example
//-
// Where you see `transaction`, assume this is the context that's relevant
to
// your use, whether that be a Datastore or a Transaction object.
//-
const query = datastore.createQuery('Lion');
datastore.runQuery(query, (err, entities, info) => {
// entities = An array of records.
// Access the Key object for an entity.
const firstEntityKey = entities[0][datastore.KEY];
});
//-
// Or, if you're using a transaction object.
//-
const transaction = datastore.transaction();
transaction.run((err) => {
if (err) {
// Error handling omitted.
}
transaction.runQuery(query, (err, entities) => {
if (err) {
// Error handling omitted.
}
transaction.commit((err) => {
if (!err) {
// Transaction committed successfully.
}
});
});
});
//-
// A keys-only query returns just the keys of the result entities instead
of
// the entities themselves, at lower latency and cost.
//-
const keysOnlyQuery = datastore.createQuery('Lion').select('__key__');
datastore.runQuery(keysOnlyQuery, (err, entities) => {
const keys = entities.map((entity) => {
return entity[datastore.KEY];
});
});
//-
// Returns a Promise if callback is omitted.
//-
datastore.runQuery(query).then((data) => {
const entities = data[0];
});

save(entities[, gaxOptions], callback)
Insert or update the specified object(s). If a key is incomplete, its associated object is inserted and the original Key object is updated to contain the generated ID.
This method will determine the correct Datastore method to execute
(upsert, insert, or update) by using the key(s) provided. For
example, if you provide an incomplete key (one without an ID), the request
will create a new entity and have its ID automatically assigned. If you
provide a complete key, the entity will be updated with the data specified.
By default, all properties are indexed. To prevent a property from being
included in all indexes, you must supply an excludeFromIndexes array.
See below for an example.
Example
//-
// Save a single entity.
//
// Notice that we are providing an incomplete key. After saving, the
original
// Key object used to save will be updated to contain the path with its
// generated ID.
//-
const key = datastore.key('Company');
const entity = {
key: key,
data: {
rating: '10'
}
};
datastore.save(entity, (err) => {
console.log(key.path); // [ 'Company', 5669468231434240 ]
console.log(key.namespace); // undefined
});
//-
// Save a single entity using a provided name instead of auto-generated ID.
//
// Here we are providing a key with name instead of an ID. After saving,
the
// original Key object used to save will be updated to contain the path
with
// the name instead of a generated ID.
//-
const key = datastore.key(['Company', 'donutshack']);
const entity = {
key: key,
data: {
name: 'DonutShack',
rating: 8
}
};
datastore.save(entity, (err) => {
console.log(key.path); // ['Company', 'donutshack']
console.log(key.namespace); // undefined
});
//-
// Save a single entity with a provided namespace. Namespaces allow for
// multitenancy. To read more about this, see
// [the Datastore docs on key concepts](https://goo.gl/M1LUAu).
//
// Here we are providing a key with namespace.
//-
const key = datastore.key({
namespace: 'my-namespace',
path: ['Company', 'donutshack']
});
const entity = {
key: key,
data: {
name: 'DonutShack',
rating: 8
}
};
datastore.save(entity, (err) => {
console.log(key.path); // ['Company', 'donutshack']
console.log(key.namespace); // 'my-namespace'
});
//-
// Save different types of data, including ints, doubles, dates, booleans,
// blobs, and lists.
//
// Notice that we are providing an incomplete key. After saving, the
original
// Key object used to save will be updated to contain the path with its
// generated ID.
//-
const key = datastore.key('Company');
const entity = {
