easy-elasticsearch

An elasticsearch HTTP client built to be flexible, intelligent, and informative. easy-elasticsearch has a built in query builder to ease the pain of generating the proper JSON.

Install

$ npm install easy-elasticsearch

Usage

var elastic = require('easy-elasticsearch');

// Initialize the client with options
elastic.configure({
	hostname : 'localhost',
	port : 9200
});

// A sample document to index
var doc = { field : 'data' };

elastic.index('myIndex', 'myType', 'docID', doc, function(err, data)  {
	// Check err...
});

Additionally, we can bake the index, type, and even ID right into the configuration:

// Initialize the client with options
elastic.configure({
	hostname : 'localhost',
	port : 9200,
	index : 'myIndex',
	type : 'myType',
	id : 'docID'
});

elastic.index(doc, function(err, data) {
	// Check err...
});

Make as many easy-elasticsearch clients as needed:

var Elastic = require('elasticsearch-client').Client;

// Initialize the client with options
var cluster = new Elastic().configure({
	hostname : 'localhost',
	port : 9200
});

var index = new Elastic().configure({
	hostname : 'otherhost',
	port : 9200,
	index : 'myIndex'
});
