Cloud Storage with local emulator

[arbesfeld]

There are a few "Mock s3" servers that run in memory/disk. Since the google cloud storage and S3 APIs are the same, I was wondering if there was a way to use one of these servers with the Cloud Storage client? If not, what is the recommended way to use this API for local development?

Can you link the mock libraries? I'm not sure they'd be the same, but soon we will support using a custom endpoint which accepts the requests from our API (#1630).

I found that it was simple enough to create my own mock classes to emulate Google Cloud Storage just enough for my tests to pass. I posted my code to this gist in case anyone finds it useful as a starting point. Note: written in ES7 with Flow annotations.
