Hands-on material for session on how to start working with OpenSearch® and NodeJS

Additional written guidance can be also found in articles how to write search queries with OpenSearch and NodeJS and how to use aggregations with OpenSearch and NodeJS.

Prerequisites

To run examples from this repository you'll need:

1. An OpenSearch cluster. You can set it up manually or you can use a fully managed service, such as Aiven for OpenSearch.
2. NodeJS and npm. If you don’t have NodeJS or npm installed, follow these instructions.
3. Curiosity and patience 😉

Running locally

1. Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

   npm install

2. Copy .env.example, rename to .env and there the service_uri of your OpenSearch cluster.
3. Download full_format_recipes from Kaggle. Unzip and copy the JSON file to the root folder of this project.

4. Install run-func to run javascript methods from command line with more convenience:

   npm i -g run-func

You're all set! Retrieve the list of available indices by running in your terminal

run-func index getIndices

How to use

1. Make sure that you have full_format_recipes.json at the root level of the repository and run command to inject data:

   run-func index injectData

Wait till the data is indexed. Can take 15-20 seconds.

2. Check search.js and aggregate.js for examples you can run. Every method contains a terminal command sample that you can try.

run-func search match title "garlic onion cake"

run-func aggregate field rating

Structure of this repository

index.js - working with index, injecting data

search.js - examples of different types of search queries

aggregate.js - examples of different types of aggregation queries

config.js and helpers.js contain operations required to connect to the cluster and log responses.
