Using with Node.js

Elasticsearch Node.js client is official client for Node.js.

A sample Node.js application can be found on GitHub https://github.com/searchly/searchly-nodejs-sample.

Configuration

Add elasticsearch dependency to your package.json file and use npm to install your dependencies

"dependencies": {
   "elasticsearch": ">=1.1.0"
}

Search

Create a search client:

var elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch');

var connectionstring = process.env.searchbox_url;

var client = new elasticsearch.client({
    host: connectionstring
});

Index a document

client.index({
  index: 'sample',
  type: 'document',
  id: '1',
  body: {
          name: 'reliability',
          text: 'reliability is improved if multiple redundant sites are used, which makes well-designed cloud computing suitable for business continuity.'
  }
}, function (error, response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Create a query and search it

client.search({
        index: 'sample',
        type: 'document',
        body: {
            query: {
                query_string:{
                   query:"reliability"
                }
            }
        }
    }).then(function (resp) {
        console.log(resp);
    }, function (err) {
        console.log(err.message);
    });
