Searchspot

This service is used as endpoint responsible for Honeypot's ElasticSearch data and it's powered by benashford's rs-es.

We hope that it will be useful to anyone who needs a search engine with a more-or-less complex system of data filtering (including strings, dates and booleans querying and full text search).

Things that are missing

• Bulk indexing
• Proper indentation
• Proper pagination

Dependencies

• Rust
• ElasticSearch 2.x (1.6+ here)

Our target is Rust Stable. However, you can use Rust Nightly too by passing --features nightly --no-default-features to cargo.

Setup

Install the latest release of Rust using either rustup, the official way or your package manager (i.e.: brew install rust)).

Then clone this repository to your computer and run the executable with

$ cargo run examples/default.toml

You can generate an optimized executable just appending --release, but the compile time will be longer.

You can execute $ cargo test to run the tests and $ cargo doc to generate the documentation.

Please make sure you have an ElasticSearch instance running.

Example

You can create your own searchspot creating a new executable with cargo, whose main.rs will look like ours, but instead of using searchspot::resources::user::Talent you'll need to replace it with a new resource made by you, according to your needs.

Basically, a resource is any struct that implements the trait searchspot::resource::Resource.

Authentication

When the authentication is enabled, the server accepts only requests that provide an Authentication header containing a valid TOTP token generated using the secrets defined in searchspot's auth.read or auth.write depending from the kind of request (either GET or POST/DELETE), i.e.: { "Authorize" => "token 492039" }.

Heroku

To deploy this application on Heroku, just run

$ heroku create my-searchspot --buildpack https://github.com/Hoverbear/heroku-buildpack-rust
$ heroku ps:scale web=1`

You need also to set the following environment variables (example in parentheses):

• ES_HOST ($user:$pass@$host)
• ES_INDEX (my_index)
• ES_PORT (80)
• HTTP_HOST (0.0.0.0)
• AUTH_ENABLED (true)
• AUTH_READ (icsbqwdg7ukqluav)
• AUTH_WRITE (7x2ockhyff4fmm5n)

You can get the data for ES_HOST by adding an addon ((☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞) for ElasticSearch to my-searchspot and click on it.

AUTH_ is optional – if omitted the feature will be turned off.

P.S.: Companies on Honeypot use this service to search the developers they need to hire!
