Issue with gcloud-node using BigQuery

Question

I am trying the basic example on Github to connect to BigQuery. I did npm install --save gcloud as advised and it seemed to have installed correctly. Is there anything else I need to install?

==============================================================

var gcloud = require('gcloud');

// Authenticating on a per-API-basis. You don't need to do this if you auth on a
// global basis (see Authentication section above).
var bigquery = gcloud.bigquery({
  projectId: 'XXXXXX MASKED XXXXXXXXXXX',
  keyFilename: './XXXXX MASKED XXXXXXX.json'
});

// Access an existing dataset.
var schoolsDataset = bigquery.dataset('mydataset.mytable');

// Import data into a dataset.
schoolsDataset.import('./myfile', function(err, job) {});

// Get results from a query job.
var job = bigquery.job('job-id');

====================================================================

TypeError: schoolsDataset.import is not a function

This is a bug in the docs! Sent a PR: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-node/pull/1067

You import data into a table, not a dataset. So one line was missing, where you access a table:

var schoolsTable = schoolsDataset.table('table-id');
