How do I interact with entities in Datastore? #568
Comments
Yeah the entity is an object with |
I think an (Here's the Python documentation for this: http://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-python/latest/datastore-entities.html) |
var entity = Entity(key: Key | String | Array, data: Object)
|
What about the "get and modify" process. Would that look like.... var companyKey = dataset.key(['Company', 123]);
dataset.get(companyKey, function(err, entity) {
entity.HQ = 'Houston, TX';
dataset.save(entity);
}); ? |
Yes, that would work. Currently we have: var companyKey = dataset.key(['Company', 123]);
dataset.get(companyKey, function(err, entity) {
entity.data.HQ = 'Houston, TX';
dataset.save(entity, callback);
}); I'm starting to wonder if an Entity type is a better solution than making sure we show more complete workflows in our Examples. |
Anyone else have thoughts here? // @callmehiphop? |
Looking at the old vs. new code samples, I don't really see any benefits in creating an Entity class. It sounds to me like our problem is that we need more documentation around interacting with entities. An Entity class could fix that, but I think it's the wrong way to go about it. |
I agree. I like using plain JS objects where possible, and this seems like a logical place. I think #574 will go a long way to answer the question we repeatedly hear: "How do I get the generated ID?" Regarding entities, users seem to be grasping how it works to store, get, and update. But, it couldn't hurt to add an example here: https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-node/#/docs/v0.25.0/datastore/dataset?method=get |
