Create a Dapr component

To setup GCP pubsub create a component of type pubsub.gcp.pubsub. See [this guide]({{< ref "howto-publish-subscribe.md#step-1-setup-the-pubsub-component" >}}) on how to create and apply a pubsub configuration

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: gcp-pubsub
  namespace: default
spec:
  type: pubsub.gcp.pubsub
  version: v1
  metadata:

    value: service_account
  - name: projectId

    value: <IDENTITY_PROJECT_ID> # replace
  - name: privateKeyId
    value: <PRIVATE_KEY_ID> #replace
  - name: clientEmail
    value: <CLIENT_EMAIL> #replace

    value: <PRIVATE_KEY> # replace x509 cert  
  - name: disableEntityManagement
    value: "false"

{{% alert title="Warning" color="warning" %}} The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described [here]({{< ref component-secrets.md >}}). {{% /alert %}}

Spec metadata fields

Field	Required	Details	Example
type	N	GCP credentials type. Only service_account is supported. Defaults to service_account	service_account
projectId	Y	GCP project id	myproject-123
identityProjectId	N	If the GCP pubsub project is different from the identity project, specify the identity project using this attribute	"myproject-123"
privateKeyId	N	If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the private_key_id field from the service account json document	"my-proviate-key"

| privateKey | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the private_key field from the service account json | -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- | clientEmail | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the client_email field from the service account json | "myservice@myproject-123.iam.gserviceaccount.com" | clientId | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the client_id field from the service account json | 106234234234 | authUri | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the auth_uri field from the service account json | https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth | tokenUri | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the token_uri field from the service account json | https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token | authProviderX509CertUrl | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the auth_provider_x509_cert_url field from the service account json | https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs | clientX509CertUrl | N | If using explicit credentials, this field should contain the client_x509_cert_url field from the service account json | https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/myserviceaccount%40myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com | disableEntityManagement | N | When set to "true", topics and subscriptions do not get created automatically. Default: "false" | "true", "false"

Create a GCP Pub/Sub

You can use either "explicit" or "implicit" credentials to configure access to your GCP pubsub instance. If using explicit, most fields are required. Implicit relies on dapr running under a Kubernetes service acccount (KSA) mapped to a Google service account (GSA) which has the necessary permissions to access pubsub. In implicit mode, only the projectId attribute is needed, all other are optional.

Follow the instructions here on setting up Google Cloud Pub/Sub system.
