Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Cloud Spanner 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/spanner

Using the client library

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

  // Creates a client
  const spanner = new Spanner({projectId});

  // Gets a reference to a Cloud Spanner instance and database
  const instance = spanner.instance(instanceId);
  const database = instance.database(databaseId);

  // The query to execute
  const query = {
    sql: 'SELECT 1',
  };

  // Execute a simple SQL statement
  const [rows] = await database.run(query);
  console.log(`Query: ${rows.length} found.`);
  rows.forEach(row => console.log(row));

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 GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
