An idiomatic C++ client library for the Storage Control API, a service to Lets you store and retrieve potentially-large, immutable data objects.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning. Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/storagecontrol/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Storage Control API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/storagecontrol/v2/storage_control_client.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " bucket-id\n";
    return 1;
  }
  auto const name =
      std::string{"projects/_/buckets/"} + argv[1] + "/storageLayout";

  namespace storagecontrol = ::google::cloud::storagecontrol_v2;
  auto client = storagecontrol::StorageControlClient(
      storagecontrol::MakeStorageControlConnection());

  auto layout = client.GetStorageLayout(name);
  if (!layout) throw std::move(layout).status();
  std::cout << layout->DebugString() << "\n";

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}

Main classes

The main class in this library is storagecontrol_v2::StorageControlClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock storagecontrol_v2::StorageControlClient when testing your application.
