Setup

  1. Install Node.js v8.9.2 or greater

  2. Set the GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variable:

    Linux:

    export GCLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id
    

    Windows:

    set GCLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id
    

    Windows (PowerShell):

    $env:GCLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
    
  3. Obtain authentication credentials.

    Create local credentials by running the following command and following the oauth2 flow (read more about the command here):

    gcloud auth application-default login
    

    In non-Google Cloud environments, GCE instances created without the correct scopes, or local workstations where the gcloud beta auth application-default login command fails, use a service account by doing the following:

    • Go to API Manager -> Credentials
    • Click "New Credentials", and create a service account or click here
    • Download the JSON for this service account, and set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to point to the file containing the JSON credentials.

    Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable:

    Linux:

    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service_account_file.json
    

    Windows:

    set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service_account_file.json
    

    Windows (PowerShell):

    $env:GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service_account_file.json"
    

    Note for code running on GCE, GAE, or other environments:

    On Google App Engine, the credentials should be found automatically.

    On Google Compute Engine, the credentials should be found automatically, but require that you create the instance with the correct scopes.

    gcloud compute instances create --scopes="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute.readonly" test-instance
    

    If you did not create the instance with the right scopes, you can still upload a JSON service account and set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS as described.

How to use

MessageTransport

Using Promises

const { MessageTransport } = require("nodejs-helpers");

const topicName = "test-jal",
    data = { jal: "test" },
    attributes = { attr1: "1", attr2: "2" },
    transport = new MessageTransport(topicName);
transport
    .publish(data, attributes)
    .then((response) => {
        console.log(response);
        // 45031755284181 // messageId of the published message
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error(err);
    });

Using async/await

const { MessageTransport } = require("nodejs-helpers");

async function testMessageTransport() {
    try {
        const topicName = "test-jal",
            data = { jal: "test" },
            attributes = { attr1: "1", attr2: "2" };
        const transport = new MessageTransport(topicName);
        const response = await transport.publish(data, attributes);
        console.log(response);
        // 45031755284181 // messageId of the published message
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

(async () => {
    await testMessageTransport();
})();

StorageProvider

Using Promises

const { StorageProvider } = require("nodejs-helpers");

const storage = new StorageProvider({
    forBigQuery: true,
    bucketName: "now-ims-core-dev_bigquery-staging",
});

storage
    .save("test_jal/jal.txt", "hey")
    .then((response) => {
        console.log(response);
        // { success: true, payload: '"h"\n"e"\n"y"' }
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error(err);
    });

storage
    .save("test_jal/jal.txt", "hey", { forBigQuery: false })
    .then((response) => {
        console.log(response);
        // { success: true, payload: 'hey' }
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error(err);
    });

Using async/await

const { StorageProvider } = require("nodejs-helpers");

async function testStorageProvider() {
    try {
        const storage = new StorageProvider({
            forBigQuery: true,
            bucketName: "my-testing-bucket",
        });

        let response = await storage.save("test_jal/jal.txt", "hey");
        console.log(response);
        // { success: true, payload: '"h"\n"e"\n"y"' }

        response = await storage.save("test_jal/jal.txt", "hey", { forBigQuery: false });
        console.log(response);
        // { success: true, payload: 'hey' }
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
}

(async () => {
    await testStorageProvider();
})();

Logger

const { Logger } = require("nodejs-helpers");
const logger = new Logger();

logger.debug("debug");
// 2018-02-28T05:21:53.214Z - debug: debug
logger.info("info");
// 2018-02-28T05:21:53.217Z - info: info
logger.error("error");
// 2018-02-28T05:21:53.218Z - error: error
