How to Patch a BigQuery View using Node.js - node.js

Question

I have a Cloud Function written in the Node.js v8 that uses the #google-cloud/bigquery v1.3.0 library.
I like it, I'm able to perform BigQuery changes such as creating a view using the very simple code below without worry about promises and it's synchronous.
const bigquery = new BigQuery({projectId: 'my-project'});
const options = {
view: {
query: 'SELECT * FROM `my-project.my-datatset.my-table`',
useLegacySql: false
}
};
results = await bigquery
.dataset('my-datatset')
.createTable('my-view', options);
But I've been unable to work out how this code can be modified to perform a patch operations. I would expect a very similar syntax to be available but I can't find it. E.g. none of the examples below work:
//bigquery.dataset(datasetId).patchTable(viewId,options);
//bigquery.dataset(datasetId).table(viewId).patch(options);
//bigquery.dataset(datasetId).tables(viewId).patch(options);
I'm able to do the patch operation I want using the rest API through Googles reference documents. But I just can't find a code solution that's consistent with the approach above.
Any ideas?

This solution is longer and asynchronous, but it seems to work. In case anyone runs into the same problem
var {google} = require('googleapis');
var bigQuery = google.bigquery("v2")
google.auth.getApplicationDefault(function(err, authClient) {
if (err) {
//Handle error
}
if (authClient.createScopedRequired && authClient.createScopedRequired()) {
var scopes = [
//Either scope is sufficient according to the spec.
//https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest/v2/tables/patch
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery'
];
authClient = authClient.createScoped(scopes);
}
var request = {
projectId: 'my-project',
datasetId:'my-datatset',
tableId:'my-view',
resource: {
view: {
query: 'SELECT * FROM `my-project.my-datatset.my-table`',
useLegacySql: false
}
},
// Auth client
auth: authClient
};
tables = bigQuery.tables;
tables.patch(request, function(err, response) {
if (err) {
//Handle error
} else {
//Print response
}
});
});
