operationsClient is not exported

[alexander-fenster]

hey guys! looks like the recent move to Typescript has changed things a bit.
SpeechClient doesn't expose operationsClient, neither public or private. Can somebody please show an example with new client library?

LROs still look unusable in cases when environment (like Firebase functions) won't be able to wait for the completion too long.

Hi @idudinov,

Thank you for your report, I apologize for breaking stuff! We'll fix it soon. As a first step, we need to export the OperationsClient type from our google-gax library here googleapis/gax-nodejs#677, then I'll update the generator to use this type so that operationsClient will be available. If everything goes well the fixed release will come really soon.

Before it is fixed, this snippet should work (I tried in Node REPL, it might require adding some types-related bells and whistles if you do it in your TypeScript code, but you get the idea):

> const speech = require('@google-cloud/speech')
undefined
> const client = new speech.SpeechClient()
undefined
> client.constructor.servicePath
'speech.googleapis.com'
> client.constructor.port
443
> const gax = require('google-gax')
undefined
> const operationsClient = gax.lro({auth: client.auth}).operationsClient({servicePath: client.constructor.servicePath, port: client.constructor.port})
undefined

That's pretty much the same code as is used inside the SpeechClient constructor for creating that operationsClient. The main thing is to pass servicePath, port, and auth into the right places, and it should just work.

Fixed in #485.
