Package Exports

@google-cloud/bigquery

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@google-cloud/bigquery) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Google BigQuery: Node.js Client

Node.js idiomatic client for BigQuery.

BigQuery is Google's fully managed, petabyte scale, low cost analytics data warehouse. BigQuery is NoOps—there is no infrastructure to manage and you don't need a database administrator—so you can focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights, use familiar SQL, and take advantage of our pay-as-you-go model.

Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Using the client library

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const BigQuery = require('@google-cloud/bigquery');

// Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';

// Instantiates a client
const bigquery = BigQuery({
  projectId: projectId,
});

// The name for the new dataset
const datasetName = 'my_new_dataset';

// Creates the new dataset
bigquery
  .createDataset(datasetName)
  .then(results => {
    const dataset = results[0];

    console.log(`Dataset ${dataset.id} created.`);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error('ERROR:', err);
  });

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be in beta. This means it is expected to be mostly stable while we work toward a general availability release; however, complete stability is not guaranteed. We will address issues and requests against beta libraries with a high priority.
