Compute: Nodejs Client

This library is considered to be inpreview. This means it is still awork-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject tobackwards-incompatible changes at any time.

Compute client for Node.js

Node.js idiomatic client for [Compute Engine][product-docs].Compute Engine is acomputing and hosting service that lets you create and run virtualmachines on Google infrastructure. Compute Engine offers scale,performance, and value that lets you easily launch large computeclusters on Google infrastructure. There are no upfrontinvestments, and you can run thousands of virtual CPUs on a systemthat offers quick, consistent performance.This library is GA from version 3.1.0. It isbackwards-incompatible with prior versions 0.x.y, 1.x.y, 2.x.y,and 3.0.y.There are handwritten samples for this library innodejs-docs-samples.Additionally, there are autogenerated samples in this library under samples/generated,but we recommend using handwritten guidance where possible.

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found inthe CHANGELOG.

Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Compute API.
4. Set up authentication so you can access theAPI from your local workstation.### Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/compute

Samples

Samples are in thesamples/ directory. Each sample'sREADME.md has instructions for running its sample.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow theNode.js release schedule.Libraries are compatible with all currentactive andmaintenance versions ofNode.js.If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you updateas soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on abest-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, andcan be installed through npmdist-tags.The dist-tags follow the naming conventionlegacy-(version).For example,npm install @google-cloud/compute@legacy-8 installs client librariesfor versions compatible with Node.js 8.
