Elasticsearch Provider for Contexture

Usage

This provider takes a config object as a parameter, and expects a getClient method to be provided, which should be an instantiated elasticsearch client.

Provider

This provider takes a config object as a parameter:

Option	Type	Description	Required
getClient	function	Returns an instantiated elasticsearch client	x
request	object	Merged in the json body of every request to elasticsearch (e.g. to add custom headers)
types	object	Contexture node types, like all other providers

Schemas

Schemas with with an elasticsearch provider can specify any or all of the following properties:

Option	Type	Description	Required
index	string	Which ES index to use when querying	x
type	string	Which ES type to use when querying
summaryView	function	Used by results to return a summary view instead of the whole document, (e.g. for indexes with many fields). Defaults to returning the hit property.
highlight	object	Used by results to determine what fields to highlight, and whether or not they are inline (copied over inline on to the source) or additional (in a list of additional fields that matched)

Example Schema for SomeType in SomeIndex

module.exports = {
  elasticsearch: {
    index: 'SomeIndex',
    type: 'SomeType'
  }
}

Seting up contexture

let _ = require('lodash')
let Contexture = require('contexture')
let provider = require('contexture-elasticsearch')
let types = require('contexture-elasticsearch/types')
let schemas = require('./path/to/schemas')
let elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch')
let AgentKeepAlive  = require('agentkeepalive'),

let process = Contexture({
  schemas,
  providers: {
    elasticsearch: provider({
      getClient: _.memoize(() =>
        elasticsearch.Client({
          // This is an example config, see the elasticsearch js docs for more
          minSockets: 1,
          maxSockets: 20,
          keepAlive: true,
          createNodeAgent: (connection, config) =>
            new AgentKeepAlive(connection.makeAgentConfig(config))
        })
      ),
      request: {
        headers: {
          'custom-header-app-name': 'my-app-sent-this'
        }
      },
      types: types({
        geo: {
          geocodeLocation: query =>
            googleplaces.textSearch({
              query
            })
        }
      })
    })
  }
})

Default Types

Combo Filter + Result Types

These types both filter and have contextual results.

facet

Facet represents a list of dynamic choices, e.g. a checkbox list filter.

Input

Name	Type	Default	Description
field	string	None, required	The field it's operating on
mode	include/exclude	include	Should this filter act as inclusion or exclusion of the values
values	array[string]	[]	What is checked
fieldMode	autocomplete/word/suggest	autocomplete	Whether to look at the entire field (autocomplete), the analyzed words in the field, or magic suggestions. This generally means switching field/analyzers but abstracts that lower level es/index knowledge away from the client.
size	number	12	How many options to return
cardinality	number	5000	Precision threshold override
includeZeroes	boolean	false	If true, it will include options with 0 matching documents (aka min_doc_count: 0)
optionsFilter	string	''	Filters the options further, e.g. a find box above a checkbox list
caseSensitive	boolean	false	Whether options filter is case sensitive. no known usages
sort	term/count	count	Sort results alphabetically or by count of matching records

Output

{
  cardinality: Number, // Cardinality (total number of options) for the field
  options: [{
    name: String,
    count: Number
  }]
}

geo

Represents a geographic radius search. Needs a geocodeLocation service passed in to it. Currently assumes it is a google maps geocoder search.

Input

Name	Type	Default	Description
field	string	None, required	The field it's operating on
location	string	None, required	Location to geocode (e.g. an address, businessname, anything the google geocode can take)
radius	number	None, required	Radius in miles
operator	within/not within	within	Whether the filter forces inclusion or exclusion

Output

{
  place: GeocodeLocationResponse
}

The result can be used to show what location the server on a map, though in practice it's usually better to geocode on the client. This type is planned to be extended to support passing along raw lat/lng.

Filter Only Types

Filter only types just filter and nothing more. They don't have contextual results of their own.

bool

Bool represent a boolean check, e.g. a checkbox for true/false

{
  field: String,
  value: String|Boolean
}

date

Date represents a data range filter, with support datemath

{
  field: String,
  from: DateString|'thisQuarter|lastQuarter|nextQuarter', // Date string or one of three custom date math options
  to: DateString,
  useDateMath: Boolean // If true, it will parse dates as dateMath using @elastic/datemath
}

exists

Exists represents whether or not a field is present on results

{
  field: String,
  value: Boolean // Whether the field should exist or not
}

number

Number represents a number range with inclusive bounds. This type is planned to be extended to return contextual info on min, max, and histogram value distribution.

Some Notes:

1. An empty value as the upper boundary represents infinity.
2. An empty value as the lower boundary represents negative infinity.
3. Zero has to be respected as a boundary value.

{
  field: String,
  min: Number,
  max: Number
}

query

Query represents a raw elasticsearch query_string.

{
  field: String,
  query: String, // The actual query
  exact: Boolean // Represents opting out of stemming. Currently assumes the presence of an `.exact` subfield and analyzer. Defaults to false.
}

text

Result-Only Types

These types don't do any filtering of their own and only have results. These often power charts or analytics pages.
