Google App Engine Node.js Samples

These are samples for using Node.js on Google App Engine Flexible Environment. These samples are referenced from the docs.

See our other Google Cloud Platform github repos for sample applications and scaffolding for other frameworks and use cases.

Run Locally

Some samples have specific instructions. If there is a README in the sample folder, please refer to it for any additional steps required to run the sample.

In general, the samples typically require:

1. Install the Google Cloud SDK, including the gcloud tool, and gcloud app component.

2. Setup the gcloud tool. This provides authentication to Google Cloud APIs and services.

    gcloud init
   

3. Acquire local credentials for autheticating with Google Cloud Platform APIs:

    gcloud beta auth application-default login
   

4. Clone this repo:

    git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples.git
   

5. Open a sample folder:

    cd <sample-folder>/
   

6. Install depedencies using npm or yarn:

    npm install
   

   or

    yarn install
   

7. Run the sample with npm or yarn:

    npm start
   

   or

    yarn start
   

8. Visit the application at http://localhost:8080.

Deploying

Some samples in this repositories may have special deployment instructions. Refer to the README file in the sample folder.

1. Use the Google Developers Console to create a project/app id. (App id and project id are identical.)

2. Setup the gcloud tool, if you haven't already.

    gcloud init
   

3. Use gcloud to deploy your app.

    gcloud app deploy
   

   Note: If there is a yarn.lock file then yarn install will be used during deployment. Delete the yarn.lock file to fall back to npm install.

4. Awesome! Your application is now live at https://YOUR_PROJECT_ID.appspot.com.
