SearchkitManager

SearchkitManager is the top level class which manages a Searchkit application

Example Usage

import {
  SearchkitManager
} from "searchkit"

const host = "/"
// const host = "http//localhost:9200/movies"

const searchkit = new SearchkitManager(host, {
  httpHeaders:{},
  basicAuth:"key:val"
})

Options

• host - A mandatory host will either be a path to a direct instance of elasticsearch with cors enabled, or can be relative to the domain the application is served on, which usually is a thin proxy to an elasticsearch server. A node implementation can be found here SearchkitExpress

• httpHeaders - A key value object containing headers to sent along with each http request

• basicAuth - A string containing "key:val" for authenticating on each request, useful if using cloud providers such as searchly.com

Default Queries

Sometimes we need to apply a default query which affects the entire search and is not serialized to the browser url.

SearchkitManager allows ability to add these

  import {
    SearchkitManager,
    TermQuery,
    FilteredQuery,
    BoolShould
  }
  const searchkit = new SearchkitManager("/")
  searchkit.addDefaultQuery((query)=> {
    return query.addQuery(FilteredQuery({
      filter:BoolShould([
        TermQuery("colour", "red"),
        TermQuery("colour", "orange")
      ])
    }))
  })
