Google Datastore PHP Sample Application

A simple app to make calls to the Datastore API

Register your application

• Go to Google Developers Console and create a new project. This will automatically enable an App Engine application with the same ID as the project.

• Enable the "Google Cloud Datastore API" under "APIs & auth > APIs."

• edit app.yaml and change YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID to your App Engine project ID

• For local development also follow the instructions below.

  • Go to "Credentials" and create a new Service Account.

  • Select "Generate new JSON key", then download a new JSON file.

  • Set the following environment variables:

    • GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: the file path to the downloaded JSON file.
    • GCP_PROJECT_ID: Your app engine project ID

Prerequisites

• Install composer
• Install Google API client library for PHP by running:

composer install

Run locally

you can run locally using PHP's built-in web server:

cd php-docs-samples/datastore
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/credentials.json
export GCP_PROJECT_ID=my-project-id
php -S localhost:8080 -t web/

Now you can view the app running at http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Deploy to App Engine

Prerequisites

• Install the App Engine PHP SDK. We recommend you install Cloud SDK rather than just installing App Engine SDK.

Deploy with gcloud

$ gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml --set-default --project YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID

Then access the following URL: https://{YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID}.appspot.com/

Run for App Engine locally

$ dev_appserver.py -A your-project-id .
