Any support requests, bug reports, or development contributions should be directed to that project. A NoSQL document database built for automatic scaling, high performance, and ease of application development. While the Cloud Datastore interface has many of the same features as traditional databases, as a NoSQL database it differs from them in the way it describes relationships between data objects. ### Installation [](#installation) To begin, install the preferred dependency manager for PHP, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Now install this component: ``` $ composer require google/cloud-datastore ``` ### Authentication [](#authentication) Please see our [Authentication guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/main/AUTHENTICATION.md) for more information on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests. ### Sample [](#sample) ``` use Google\ApiCore\ApiException; use Google\Cloud\Datastore\V1\BeginTransactionRequest; use Google\Cloud\Datastore\V1\BeginTransactionResponse; use Google\Cloud\Datastore\V1\Client\DatastoreClient; // Create a client. $datastoreClient = new DatastoreClient(); // Prepare the request message. $request = (new BeginTransactionRequest()) ->setProjectId($projectId); // Call the API and handle any network failures. try { /** @var BeginTransactionResponse $response */ $response = $datastoreClient->beginTransaction($request); printf('Response data: %s' . PHP_EOL, $response->serializeToJsonString()); } catch (ApiException $ex) { printf('Call failed with message: %s' . PHP_EOL, $ex->getMessage()); } ``` ### Debugging [](#debugging) Please see our [Debugging guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/main/DEBUG.md)for more information about the debugging tools. ### Version [](#version) This component is considered GA (generally available). As such, it will not introduce backwards-incompatible changes in any minor or patch releases. We will address issues and requests with the highest priority. ### Compatibility with Google App Engine [](#compatibility-with-google-app-engine) This component is compatible with PHP projects on Google App Engine in the Standard or Flexible environments. To maximize the performance of datastore operations in your app, we recommend the following configuration: 1. PHP 7 runtime 2. Enable grpc.so and protobuf.so in your php.ini file 3. Set your DatastoreClient object's 'transport' option to 'grpc' You are likely to experience less optimal datastore performance using the PHP 5 runtime on App Engine standard due to the lack of the protobuf extension. ### Next Steps [](#next-steps) 1. Understand the [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/). 2. Take a look at [in-depth usage samples](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/php-docs-samples/tree/master/datastore). ### Health Score 69 — FairBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance87 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity50 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community40 Growing community involvement Maturity89 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
