This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for Cloud Run, a managed compute platform that lets you run containers directly on top of Google's scalable infrastructure.
Note that this library only provides tools to manage Cloud Run resources. To actually deploy a C++ function to Cloud Run, see the Cloud Run for C++ Hello World example, which uses the C++ Functions Framework library.
While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/run/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Run Admin API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/run/v2/services_client.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace run = ::google::cloud::run_v2;
auto client = run::ServicesClient(run::MakeServicesConnection());
auto const parent =
std::string{"projects/"} + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2];
for (auto r : client.ListServices(parent)) {
if (!r) throw std::move(r).status();
std::cout << r->DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
This library offers multiple *Client classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a gRPC service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple gRPC services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.
The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the *Client classes when testing your application.
