elasticclient
![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/aquasecurity/elasticclient.svg?branch=master)
A non-obtrusive, idiomatic and easy-to-use query and aggregation builder for the official Go client for ElasticSearch.

Description
elasticclient
alleviates the need to use extremely nested maps (map[string]interface{}
) and serializing queries to JSON manually. It also helps eliminating common mistakes such as misspelling query types, as everything is statically typed.
Using elasticclient
can make your code much easier to write, read and maintain, and significantly reduce the amount of code you write. Wanna know how much code you'll save? just check this project's tests.
Status
This is an early release, API may still change.
Installation
elasticclient
is a Go module. To install, simply run this in your project's root directory:
go get github.com/aquasecurity/elasticclient
Usage
elasticclient provides a method chaining-style API for building and executing queries and aggregations. It does not wrap the official Go client nor does it require you to change your existing code in order to integrate the library. Queries can be directly built with elasticclient
, and executed by passing an *elasticsearch.Client
instance (with optional search parameters). Results are returned as-is from the official client (e.g. *esapi.Response
objects).
Getting started is extremely simple:
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"github.com/aquasecurity/elasticclient"
"github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7"
)
func main() {
es, err := elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed creating client: %s", err)
}
res, err := elasticclient.Search().
Query(
elasticclient.
Bool().
Must(elasticclient.Term("title", "Go and Stuff")).
Filter(elasticclient.Term("tag", "tech")),
).
Aggs(
elasticclient.Avg("average_score", "score"),
elasticclient.Max("max_score", "score"),
).
Size(20).
Run(
es,
es.Search.WithContext(context.TODO()),
es.Search.WithIndex("test"),
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed searching for stuff: %s", err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
}
Notes
elasticclient
currently supports version 7 of the ElasticSearch Go client.- The library cannot currently generate "short queries". For example, whereas
ElasticSearch can accept this:
{ "query": { "term": { "user": "Kimchy" } } }
The library will always generate this:
{ "query": { "term": { "user": { "value": "Kimchy" } } } }
This is also true for queries such as "bool", where fields like "must" can
either receive one query object, or an array of query objects. elasticclient
will
generate an array even if there's only one query object.
