## 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.


## 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.

| Sample                      | Source Code                       | Try it |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------ |

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.
