gcloud-datastore-schema

Define and follow a schema for your Datastore entities

$ npm install --save gcloud-datastore-schema

var gcloud = require('gcloud');
var schema = require('gcloud-datastore-schema');

var datastore = schema(gcloud.datastore({/*...*/}));

// New method: register
datastore.register('Person', {
  // Native JavaScript types
  name: String,
  age: Number,
  tools: Array,
  favoriteNumbers: [Number],
  isPremiumUser: Boolean,

  // Datastore types
  gpa: gcloud.datastore.double,

  // Nested schemas
  address: {
    streetNumber: Number,
    streetName: String,
    // Nested nested schemas
    zip: {
      firstPart: Number,
      secondPart: Number
    }
  },

  // Nested array schemas
  phoneNumbers: [

      number: String,
      metadata: {
        type: String,

        availability: [

        ]
      }
    }
  ],

  // Custom validators
  fullName: function (input) {
    return input.split(' ').length > 1;
  }
});

// The original save method will now validate by default
// So let's make it mad
