# Go App Engine packages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/golang/appengine)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository supports the Go runtime on App Engine,
|
||
|
|
including both the standard App Engine and the
|
||
|
|
"App Engine flexible environment" (formerly known as "Managed VMs").
|
||
|
|
It provides APIs for interacting with App Engine services.
|
||
|
|
Its canonical import path is `google.golang.org/appengine`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/
|
||
|
|
for more information.

|

|
|
## Directory structure
|
||
|
|
The top level directory of this repository is the `appengine` package. It
|
||
|
|
contains the
|
||
|
|
basic APIs (e.g. `appengine.NewContext`) that apply across APIs. Specific API
|
||
|
|
packages are in subdirectories (e.g. `datastore`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is an `internal` subdirectory that contains service protocol buffers,
|
||
|
|
plus packages required for connectivity to make API calls. App Engine apps
|
||
|
|
should not directly import any package under `internal`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Updating a Go App Engine app
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This section describes how to update an older Go App Engine app to use
|
||
|
|
these packages. A provided tool, `aefix`, can help automate steps 2 and 3
|
||
|
|
(run `go get google.golang.org/appengine/cmd/aefix` to install it), but
|
||
|
|
read the details below since `aefix` can't perform all the changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1. Update YAML files (App Engine flexible environment / Managed VMs only)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `app.yaml` file (and YAML files for modules) should have these new lines added:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
vm: true
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/modules/#Go_Instance_scaling_and_class for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2. Update import paths
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The import paths for App Engine packages are now fully qualified, based at `google.golang.org/appengine`.
|
||
|
|
You will need to update your code to use import paths starting with that; for instance,
|
||
|
|
code importing `appengine/datastore` will now need to import `google.golang.org/appengine/datastore`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3. Update code using deprecated, removed or modified APIs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most App Engine services are available with exactly the same API.
|
||
|
|
A few APIs were cleaned up, and some are not available yet.
|
||
|
|
This list summarises the differences:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `appengine.Context` has been replaced with the `Context` type from `golang.org/x/net/context`.
|
||
|
|
* Logging methods that were on `appengine.Context` are now functions in `google.golang.org/appengine/log`.
|
||
|
|
* `appengine.Timeout` has been removed. Use `context.WithTimeout` instead.
|
||
|
|
* `appengine.Datacenter` now takes a `context.Context` argument.
|
||
|
|
* `datastore.PropertyLoadSaver` has been simplified to use slices in place of channels.
|
||
|
|
* `delay.Call` now returns an error.
|
||
|
|
* `search.FieldLoadSaver` now handles document metadata.
|
||
|
|
* `urlfetch.Transport` no longer has a Deadline field; set a deadline on the
|
||
|
|
`context.Context` instead.
|
||
|
|
* `aetest` no longer declares its own Context type, and uses the standard one instead.
|
||
|
|
* `taskqueue.QueueStats` no longer takes a maxTasks argument. That argument has been
|
||
|
|
deprecated and unused for a long time.
|
||
|
|
* `appengine.BackendHostname` and `appengine.BackendInstance` were for the deprecated backends feature.
|
||
|
|
Use `appengine.ModuleHostname`and `appengine.ModuleName` instead.
|
||
|
|
* Most of `appengine/file` and parts of `appengine/blobstore` are deprecated.
|
||
|
|
Use [Google Cloud Storage](https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/storage) if the
|
||
|
|
feature you require is not present in the new
|
||
|
|
[blobstore package](https://google.golang.org/appengine/blobstore).
|
||
|
|
* `appengine/socket` is not required on App Engine flexible environment / Managed VMs.
|
||
|
|
Use the standard `net` package instead.
