Google Cloud Storage

A dart library for interacting with the Google Cloud Storage v1 APIs with full support for partial requests and PATCH updates.

Usage

Include the following in your pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  google_cloud_storage: any

Server applications

If using the library in a server application, import the server version of the library using,

'import 'google_cloud_storage/cloud_storage_server.dart';

There are two ways to connect to the cloud storage API from server applications:

From Compute Engine

To connect to the API from a VM instance running on Google Compute Engine, only the name of the project and the the project number need to be provided

eg.

 CloudStorageConnection.open(<project_id>, <project_number>).then((connection) {
     //Do something with connection.
 });

Connecting via a service account

To connect to the API from a service account, provide the details of the service account as named arguments (and a [PermissionRole] which specifies the level of access to provide to the connection) to the constructor

eg.

CloudStorageConnection.open(
    <project_id>, //The google assigned project identifier
    <project_number>, //The google assigned project number
    serviceAccount: <service_account_email>,
    pathToPrivateKey: <path>, //The (local) filesystem path containing a `.pem` file used to authenticate the service account
    role: <role> //The permission to grant to the service account. Defaults to `READER` access.
).then((connection) {
   //Do something with the connection.
});

Usage (Browser applications)

Include the following in your pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  google_cloud_storage: any

The library can then be imported using

'import 'google_cloud_storage/cloud_storage_server.dart';

Create a new instance of the [CloudStorageConnection] class, with the details of a client that is authorised to connect to the cloud storage instance and the and the appropriate authorisation level for the client.

CloudStorageConnection connection = new CloudStorageConnection(
    <project_id>, // The google assigned identifier of the project owner (the owner of the bucket/s to connect to)
    <auth> //An authentication context created with the `google_auth2client` library.
);
