## Quickstart

### Before you begin

1. [Select or create a Cloud Platform project][projects].
1. [Enable billing for your project][billing].
1. [Enable the Cloud Bigtable API][enable_api].
1. [Set up authentication with a service account][auth] so you can access the
API from your local workstation.

### Installing the client library

```bash
npm install @google-cloud/bigtable
```

### Using the client library

```javascript
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Bigtable} = require('@google-cloud/bigtable');

const bigtable = new Bigtable();

async function quickstart() {
// Connect to an existing instance:my-bigtable-instance
const instance = bigtable.instance(INSTANCE_ID);

// Connect to an existing table:my-table
const table = instance.table(TABLE_ID);

// Read a row from my-table using a row key
const [singleRow] = await table.row('r1').get();

// Print the row key and data (column value, labels, timestamp)
const rowData = JSON.stringify(singleRow.data, null, 4);
console.log(`Row key: ${singleRow.id}\nData: ${rowData}`);
}
quickstart();

```

## Samples

Samples are in the [`samples/`](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-bigtable/tree/main/samples) directory. Each sample's `README.md` has instructions for running its sample.

also contains samples.

## Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the [Node.js release schedule](https://github.com/nodejs/release#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](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/dist-tag).
The dist-tags follow the naming convention `legacy-(version)`.
For example, `npm install @google-cloud/bigtable@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 **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.
