## Quickstart

### Before you begin

1. [Select or create a Cloud Platform project][projects].
1. [Enable the Google Cloud Datastore API][enable_api].
1. [Set up authentication][auth] so you can access the
API from your local workstation.

### Installing the client library

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

### Using the client library

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

// Creates a client
const datastore = new Datastore();

async function quickstart() {
// The kind for the new entity
const kind = 'Task';

// The name/ID for the new entity
const name = 'sampletask1';

// The Cloud Datastore key for the new entity
const taskKey = datastore.key([kind, name]);

// Prepares the new entity
const task = {
key: taskKey,
data: {
description: 'Buy milk',
},
};

// Saves the entity
await datastore.save(task);
console.log(`Saved ${task.key.name}: ${task.data.description}`);
}
quickstart();

```
### Troubleshooting
#### Emulator returning `DEADLINE_EXCEEDED`, `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError`
*Reference Issue: [#95](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-datastore/issues/95)*

When using the emulator, you may experience errors such as "DEADLINE_EXCEEDED" within your application, corresponding to an error in the emulator: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". These errors are unique to the emulator environment and will not persist in production.

A workaround is available, provided by [@ohmpatel1997](https://github.com/ohmpatel1997) [here](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-datastore/issues/95#issuecomment-554387312).

## Samples

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

## 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/datastore@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.
