Searchkit Architecture

ElasticSearch's querying is very sophisticated and modelling relationship between query, components, results and url required a certain core architecture.

Searchkit's core classes

• SearchkitManager us a top level class to manage searchkit
• Accessor An accessor manages state, maps to a url key and produces a part of an ElasticSearch query
• SearchkitComponent is the main react baseclass which ties the Searcher and Accessor to the UI.
• ImmutableQuery A query object which is passed top down, the query is rebuilt on every search and accessors take care of returning a query based on its state.

  Note The query object is immutable as it removes defensive code related to worrying about internal change. It also allows comparison with previous queries when deciding when to search.
