Adonis.js Elasticsearch Wrapper

This package is a wrapper for the official elasticsearch-js client.

The connection strategy is similar to Adonis.js Lucid, providing a familiar API for managing single or multiple Elasticsearch connections.

Installation

Install the package from the npm registry as follows:

npm install @dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch

Then, you must run the following command to configure the package:

node ace configure @dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch

Note

The configure command will automatically attempt to install the latest stable version of @elastic/elasticsearch as a peer dependency. If you require a specific version, please install it manually before running the configure command.

Compatibility

This package is compatible with the following versions:

• AdonisJS: v6
• @elastic/elasticsearch: v8.x, v9.x

Note

It is recommended that the @elastic/elasticsearch client version matches your Elasticsearch server version (e.g. use client v8 for server v8). Language clients are forward compatible (support communicating with greater or equal minor versions). For more details, see the official installation documentation.

Configuration

The configuration is stored inside the config/elasticsearch.ts file.

import { defineConfig } from '@dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch'
import env from '#start/env'

const esConfig = defineConfig({
  connection: env.get('ES_CONNECTION', 'main'),
  connections: {
    main: {
      node: env.get('ES_NODE_URL', 'http://localhost:9200'),
    },
  },
})

export default esConfig

See the official documentation for more configuration options.

Basic Usage

Get Client

Here's how you can get the elasticsearch client instance.

import es from '@dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch/services/main'

const client = es.client()

Search query with pagination

const posts = await es.client().search({
  index: 'posts',
  from: (page - 1) * limit,
  size: limit,
  query: {
    match_all: {},
  },
})

Insert query

const results = await es.client().index({
  index: 'posts',
  body: {
    title,
    description,
  },
})

Update query

const results = await es.client().update({
  index: 'posts',
  id: '1',
  body: {
    doc: {
      title,
      description,
    },
  },
})

Delete query

const results = await es.client().delete({
  index: 'posts',
  id: '1',
})

Health Check

const health = await es.client().cluster.health()

See the official documentation for more query options.

Switching between connections

You can switch between connections by passing the connection name to the connection method.

import es from '@dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch/services/main'

const example = es.connection('example')

await example.get({
  index: 'items',
  id: '1',
})

Closing connections

You can close a specific connection by calling the close method. This will disconnect the client, but keep the configuration in the manager.

Note: All connections are automatically closed at the end of the application lifecycle.

import es from '@dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch/services/main'

// Close the default connection
await es.close()

// Close a specific connection
await es.close('example')

// Close all connections
await es.closeAll()

Releasing connections

You can release a specific connection by calling the release method. This will disconnect the client and remove the configuration from the manager.

import es from '@dunhamjared/adonis-elasticsearch/services/main'

// Release the default connection
await es.release()

// Release a specific connection
await es.release('example')
