DataStore Sample

[noizu]

For petes sake can you include a sample entity fetch and query. Inline code documentation is fairly robust but end users shoudn't need to pour over module definitions to figure out the module responsible for running queries, the setup needed to get it to work and how to setup a basic call.

Thanks @bshaffer but those are using the older Diplomat Library which is a fantastic piece of software but lacks support for cursors.

For the data store project in this code base it's actually the following.

{:ok, token} = Goth.Token.for_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/datastore")
 conn = GoogleApi.Datastore.V1.Connection.new(token.token)
 request = %GoogleApi.Datastore.V1.Model.RunQueryRequest{
      gqlQuery:  %GoogleApi.Datastore.V1.Model.GqlQuery{
        queryString: "select * from DataStoreEntityType limit 5",
        allowLiterals: true
      }
    }
r = GoogleApi.Datastore.V1.Api.Projects.datastore_projects_run_query(conn, "your-project-name", [body: request])

It took me 57 minutes to sleuth that out and I know the language and programming in general pretty well. So for some kid new to Elixir or to walking through other peoples source code that could have taken hours or days to figure out.

If the developer can post some simple examples in the readme and throw a few @examples into the inline exdocs I think it would go a long way for swinging adoption to this library away from the unofficial Diplomat client. Having access to cursors, etc. is a major improvement even if things look a little unnecessary verbose/java like.

but beggars can't be choosers, super glad to have these libraries available now ^_^.
