elastic-query 
Lightweight query builder for ElasticSearch
Install
$ npm install elastic-query
Usage
const elasticQuery = require('elastic-query');
elasticQuery
.term('user.name', 'Foobaruser')
.build();
API
Currently, this query builder is only compatible with ElasticSearch 6.x.
This query builder covers most of the basics of the Query DSL and one compound query:
match_all[query] (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-all-query.html)match_none[query] (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-all-query.html)- All the Full text queries
- All the Term level queries
- The
boolCompound query
Another important note is when you chain multiple queries, only the last query in the chain will be returned using build(). If you use buildQueryArray() then the query builder will return an array of Query objects.
Summary:
build()creates a leaf query clause.buildQueryArray()creates a collection of queries that can be used in a compound query clause likebool.
Build operations
elasticQuery.build()
This will create a leaf query of the last query operation performed on the query builder.
elasticQuery.buildQueryArray()
This will return an array of queries which can be used in compound queries.
