Cloud Spanner is a fully managed, mission-critical, relational database service that offers transactional consistency at global scale, schemas, SQL (ANSI 2011 with extensions), and automatic, synchronous replication for high availability.

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Cloud Spanner API.
4. Set up authentication so you can access the API from your local workstation.

npm install @google-cloud/spanner

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Spanner} = require('@google-cloud/spanner');
// Creates a client
const spanner = new Spanner({projectId});
// Gets a reference to a Cloud Spanner instance and database
const instance = spanner.instance(instanceId);
const database = instance.database(databaseId);
// The query to execute
const query = {
 sql: 'SELECT 1',
};
// Execute a simple SQL statement
const [rows] = await database.run(query);
console.log(`Query: ${rows.length} found.`);
rows.forEach(row => console.log(row));

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

The Cloud Spanner Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.

Our client libraries follow the Node.js 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. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/spanner@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

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.
