Quickstart

Before you begin

Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
Enable billing for your project.
Enable the Cloud Channel API API.
Set up authentication so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/channel

Using the client library

// Reads the secrets from a `oauth2.keys.json` file, which should be downloaded
// from the Google Developers Console and saved in the same directory with the
// sample app.

// This sample app only calls read-only methods from the Channel API. Include
// additional scopes if calling methods that modify the configuration.
const SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.order'];

async function listCustomers(authClient, accountNumber) {
  // Imports the Google Cloud client library
  const {CloudChannelServiceClient} = require('@google-cloud/channel');

  // Instantiates a client using OAuth2 credentials.
  const sslCreds = grpc.credentials.createSsl();
  const credentials = grpc.credentials.combineChannelCredentials(
    sslCreds,
    grpc.credentials.createFromGoogleCredential(authClient)
  );

  // Instantiates a client
  const client = new CloudChannelServiceClient({
    sslCreds: credentials,
  });

  // Calls listCustomers() method
  const customers = await client.listCustomers({
    parent: `accounts/${accountNumber}`,
  });
  console.info(customers);
}

 * Create a new OAuth2Client, and go through the OAuth2 content
 * workflow.  Return the full client to the callback.
 */

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-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, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/channel@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be 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 stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
