⚠️ gcloud has been deprecated

$ npm uninstall --save gcloud
- require('gcloud')

🔀 It has been renamed to google-cloud

$ npm install --save google-cloud
+ require('google-cloud')

🎉 Now you can install only the APIs you need

$ npm install --save @google-cloud/storage
var gcs = require('@google-cloud/storage')();

No more wasting time installing dependencies from the other modules that your project doesn't require.

How will this all work?

All of the code for the modules will live under this single repository. Issues and PRs for any of the APIs can be filed here.

google-cloud will work exactly as gcloud did. It wraps all of the other modules and can share your config data between them. Your code should continue to work exactly the same. You will continue to receive new features and bug fixes under the normal semver release pattern. The first version of google-cloud picks up where gcloud left off, at 0.38.

The service modules, e.g. @google-cloud/bigquery, have all been published at 0.1, and will likely reach 1.0 status shortly.

How about the docs?

Our documentation website has expanded to support showing only the docs for the module you are using. If you are just using the bundled package, google-cloud, the docs should look and behave exactly as you're used to.

If you are using a service module, you can access its docs from the title bar on the top of the page:

// Analyze the sentiment of the document.
document.detectSentiment(function(err, sentiment) {

});

// Parse the syntax of the document.
