Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
  2. Enable billing for your project.
  3. Enable the Cloud Data Loss Prevention API.
  4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/dlp

Using the client library


// Instantiates a client
const dlp = new DLP.DlpServiceClient();

// The string to inspect
const string = 'Robert Frost';

// The project ID to run the API call under
// const projectId = 'my-project';

async function quickStart() {
  // The minimum likelihood required before returning a match
  const minLikelihood = 'LIKELIHOOD_UNSPECIFIED';

  // The maximum number of findings to report (0 = server maximum)
  const maxFindings = 0;

  // The infoTypes of information to match
  const infoTypes = [{name: 'PERSON_NAME'}, {name: 'US_STATE'}];

  // Whether to include the matching string
  const includeQuote = true;

  // Construct item to inspect
  const item = {value: string};

  // Construct request
  const request = {
    parent: `projects/${projectId}/locations/global`,
    inspectConfig: {
      infoTypes: infoTypes,
      minLikelihood: minLikelihood,
      limits: {
        maxFindingsPerRequest: maxFindings,
      },
      includeQuote: includeQuote,
    },
    item: item,
  };

  // Run request
  const [response] = await dlp.inspectContent(request);
  const findings = response.result.findings;
  if (findings.length > 0) {
    console.log('Findings:');
    findings.forEach(finding => {
      if (includeQuote) {
        console.log(`\tQuote: ${finding.quote}`);
      }
      console.log(`\tInfo type: ${finding.infoType.name}`);
      console.log(`\tLikelihood: ${finding.likelihood}`);
    });
  } else {
    console.log('No findings.');
  }
}
quickStart();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

  • Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
  • Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
  • Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/dlp@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
