elastic-search-lib

Module written in nodejs to integrate easily with Elastic Search. It has additional integrations to support linting, testing, coverage, reporting, GitGub actions for publishing to npm repository, dependency updates and other goodies.

Easily use this module to interact with the ElasticSearch Engine.

What is ElasticSearch?

Elasticsearch is a distributed, free and open search and analytics engine for all types of data, including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured. Elasticsearch is built on Apache Lucene and was first released in 2010 by Elasticsearch N.V. (now known as Elastic). Known for its simple REST APIs, distributed nature, speed, and scalability, Elasticsearch is the central component of the Elastic Stack, a set of free and open tools for data ingestion, enrichment, storage, analysis, and visualization. Commonly referred to as the ELK Stack (after Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), the Elastic Stack now includes a rich collection of lightweight shipping agents known as Beats for sending data to Elasticsearch.

Usage Instrcution

Installing

Install it directly using npm by running the command below:

npm i @aicore/template-nodejs

Prerequisites

Inorder to use this module, elasticsearch should be installed on the server/local machine. Please refer to the links below:

  1. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html
  2. https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/databases/elasticsearch/

List of Available Operations:

  • createIndices
  • bulkInsert
  • bulkUpdate
  • bulkDelete
  • search
  • get

Code Usage

1. createIndices

Create Index API is used to manually create an index in Elasticsearch. All documents in Elasticsearch are stored inside of one index or another. Please refer API docs for more details.

Required Parameters

  • nodeAddress (Type: String): Complete URL endpoint of the node including port. For e.g http://165.34.23.1:9200/
  • mappingObject (Type: JSON Object): omposite object according to elastic search standards.

Example

// import the module directly after installation
import searchClient from '@aicore/elasticsearch-lib';

const indices = {
       index: indexName,
       body: {
           mappings: {
               extension_registry_beta: {
                   properties: {
                       name: { type: 'text' },
                       title: { type: 'text' },
                       description: { type: 'text'}
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   };

   const indexResponse = await searchClient.createIndices(nodeAddress, indices);

   console.log("Create Index response received :" + JSON.stringify(indexResponse));
    //Sample log: https://pastebin.com/1e1axYQE

2. bulkInsert/bulkUpdate/bulkDelete

Performs multiple indexing or delete operations in a single API call. This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed. Please refer API docs for more details.

  • nodeAddress (Type: String): Complete URL endpoint of the node including port. For e.g http://165.34.23.1:9200/
  • indexName (Type: String): Unique identifier for index.
  • datasets (Type: Array): Array of data objects for bulk insert.

Please Note: The bulkInsert, bulkUpdate and bulkDelete modules all use the same underlying elasticSearch bulk API so the usage is similar to each other.

Example

//import the module
import searchClient from '@aicore/elasticsearch-lib'
//array of data objects to be inserted
const dataset = [
       {
           name: 'Theme101',
           title: 'Brackets',
           description: 'Provides ability to use code snippets in Brackets.',
           homepage: 'https://github.com/jrowny/brackets-snippets',
           author: {
               name: 'demo',
               email: '[email protected]'
           }
       }];

const bulkInsertResponse = await searchClient.bulkInsert(nodeAddress, indexName, dataset);

console.log("Bulk Insert Response " + JSON.stringify(bulkInsertResponse));

3. search

The search API allows you to execute a search query and get back search hits that match the query.Please refer API docs for more details.

Required Parameters

  • nodeAddress (Type: String): Complete URL endpoint of the node including port. For e.g http://165.34.23.1:9200/
  • indexName (Type: String): Unique identifier for index.
  • searchQuery (Type: JSON Object): containing search parameters. Refer API docs for format

Example

////import the module
import searchClient from '@aicore/elasticsearch-lib';
//composite searchQuery object to retrieve all results
const searchQuery = {
        index: indexName,
        body: {
            query: {
                match_all: {}
            }
        }
    };

const searchResponse = await searchClient.search(nodeAddress, indexName, searchQuery);

4. get

The get API allows to get a typed JSON document from the index based on its id. Please refer API docs for more details.

Required Parameters

  • nodeAddress (Type: String): Complete URL endpoint of the node including port. For e.g http://165.34.23.1:9200/
  • indexName (Type: String): Unique identifier for index.
  • getQuery (Type: JSON Object): Composite object containing get parameters. Refer API docs for format

Example

////import the module
import searchClient from '@aicore/elasticsearch-lib';

const getQuery = {
    index: 'game-of-thrones',
    id: '1'
};

const getResponse = await searchClient.get(nodeAddress, indexName, getQuery);

console.log(getResponse);

Commands available

Building

Since this is a pure JS template project, build command just runs test with coverage.

> npm install   // do this only once.
> npm run build

Linting

To lint the files in the project, run the following command:

> npm run lint

To Automatically fix lint errors:

> npm run lint:fix

Testing

To run all tests:

> npm run test
  Hello world Tests
    ✔ should return Hello World
    #indexOf()
      ✔ should return -1 when the value is not present

Additionally, to run unit/integration tests only, use the commands:

> npm run test:unit
> npm run test:integ

Coverage Reports

To run all tests with coverage:

> npm run cover
  Hello world Tests
    ✔ should return Hello World
    #indexOf()

To edit the publishing workflow, please see file: .github/workflows/npm-publish.yml

Dependency updates

We use Rennovate for dependency updates: https://blog.logrocket.com/renovate-dependency-updates-on-steroids/

Code Guardian

Several automated workflows that check code integrity are integrated into this template. These include:

  1. GitHub actions that runs build/test/coverage flows when a contributor raises a pull request
  2. Sonar cloud integration using .sonarcloud.properties
    1. In sonar cloud, enable Automatic analysis from Administration Analysis Method for the first time image

IDE setup

SonarLint is currently available as a free plugin for jetbrains, eclipse, vscode and visual studio IDEs. Use sonarLint plugin for webstorm or any of the available IDEs from this link before raising a pull request: https://www.sonarlint.org/ .

SonarLint static code analysis checker is not yet available as a Brackets extension.

Internals

Testing framework: Mocha , assertion style: chai

See https://mochajs.org/#getting-started on how to write tests Use chai for BDD style assertions (expect, should etc..). See move here: https://www.chaijs.com/guide/styles/#expect

Mocks and spies: sinon

if you want to mock/spy on fn() for unit tests, use sinon. refer docs: https://sinonjs.org/

Note on coverage suite used here:

we use c8 for coverage https://github.com/bcoe/c8. Its reporting is based on nyc, so detailed docs can be found here: https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc ; We didn't use nyc as it do not yet have ES module support see: digitalbazaar/bedrock-test#16 . c8 is drop replacement for nyc coverage reporting tool
