## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
### Installing the client library
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install gcp-metadata
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using the client library
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const gcpMetadata = require('gcp-metadata');
|
|
|
|
async function quickstart() {
|
|
// check to see if this code can access a metadata server
|
|
const isAvailable = await gcpMetadata.isAvailable();
|
|
console.log(`Is available: ${isAvailable}`);
|
|
|
|
// Instance and Project level metadata will only be available if
|
|
// running inside of a Google Cloud compute environment such as
|
|
// Cloud Functions, App Engine, Kubernetes Engine, or Compute Engine.
|
|
// To learn more about the differences between instance and project
|
|
// level metadata, see:
|
|
// https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/storing-retrieving-metadata#project-instance-metadata
|
|
if (isAvailable) {
|
|
// grab all top level metadata from the service
|
|
const instanceMetadata = await gcpMetadata.instance();
|
|
console.log('Instance metadata:');
|
|
console.log(instanceMetadata);
|
|
|
|
// get all project level metadata
|
|
const projectMetadata = await gcpMetadata.project();
|
|
console.log('Project metadata:');
|
|
console.log(projectMetadata);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
quickstart();
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Check to see if the metadata server is available
|
|
```js
|
|
const isAvailable = await gcpMetadata.isAvailable();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Access all metadata
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance();
|
|
console.log(data); // ... All metadata properties
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Access specific properties
|
|
```js
|
|
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance('hostname');
|
|
console.log(data); // ...Instance hostname
|
|
const projectId = await gcpMetadata.project('project-id');
|
|
console.log(projectId); // ...Project ID of the running instance
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Access nested properties with the relative path
|
|
```js
|
|
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance('service-accounts/default/email');
|
|
console.log(data); // ...Email address of the Compute identity service account
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Access specific properties with query parameters
|
|
```js
|
|
const data = await gcpMetadata.instance({
|
|
property: 'tags',
|
|
params: { alt: 'text' }
|
|
});
|
|
console.log(data) // ...Tags as newline-delimited list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Access with custom headers
|
|
```js
|
|
await gcpMetadata.instance({
|
|
headers: { 'no-trace': '1' }
|
|
}); // ...Request is untraced
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Take care with large number valued properties
|
|
|
|
In some cases number valued properties returned by the Metadata Service may be
|
|
too large to be representable as JavaScript numbers. In such cases we return
|
|
those values as `BigNumber` objects (from the [bignumber.js](https://github.com/MikeMcl/bignumber.js) library). Numbers
|
|
that fit within the JavaScript number range will be returned as normal number
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const id = await gcpMetadata.instance('id');
|
|
console.log(id) // ... BigNumber { s: 1, e: 18, c: [ 45200, 31799277581759 ] }
|
|
console.log(id.toString()) // ... 4520031799277581759
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Environment variables
|
|
|
|
* `GCE_METADATA_HOST`: provide an alternate host or IP to perform lookup against (useful, for example, you're connecting through a custom proxy server).
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
```
|
|
export GCE_METADATA_HOST = '169.254.169.254'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `DETECT_GCP_RETRIES`: number representing number of retries that should be attempted on metadata lookup.
|
|
|
|
* `DEBUG_AUTH`: emit debugging logs
|
|
|
|
* `METADATA_SERVER_DETECTION`: configure desired metadata server availability check behavior.
|
|
|
|
* `assume-present`: don't try to ping the metadata server, but assume it's present
|
|
* `none`: don't try to ping the metadata server, but don't try to use it either
|
|
* `bios-only`: treat the result of a BIOS probe as canonical (don't fall back to pinging)
|
|
* `ping-only`: skip the BIOS probe, and go straight to pinging
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Samples
|
|
|
|
Samples are in the [`samples/`](https://github.com/googleapis/gcp-metadata/tree/main/samples) directory. Each sample's `README.md` has instructions for running its sample.

The [GCP Metadata Node.js Client API Reference][client-docs] documentation
|
|
also contains samples.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Node.js Versions
|
|
|
|
Our client libraries follow the [Node.js release schedule](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/).
|
|
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](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/dist-tag).
|
|
The dist-tags follow the naming convention `legacy-(version)`.
|
|
For example, `npm install gcp-metadata@legacy-8` installs client libraries
|
|
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
This library follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
