I want to display the json i got from the search for localhost:8400/api/v1/search
. But I have no idea how.
I'm using the Elasticsearch Javascript Client
my routing:
'use-strict';
const express = require('express');
const elasticsearch = require('../models/elasticsearch.js');
const router = express.Router();
router.get('/api/v1/search', elasticsearch.search);
for accessing the ElasticSearch DB
const es = require('elasticsearch');
let esClient = new es.Client({
host: 'localhost:9200',
log: 'info',
apiVersion: '5.3',
requestTimeout: 30000
})
let indexName = "randomindex";
const elasticsearch = {
search() {
return esClient.search({
index: indexName,
q: "test"
})
.then(() => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(body));
// here I want to return a Response with the Content of the body
})
.catch((error) => { console.trace(error.message); });
}
}
module.exports = elasticsearch;
Since you add elasticsearch.search
as the route handler, it will be invoked with some arguments.
Change the signature of the search
method to search(req, res)
.
Then just call res.send(JSON.stringify(body));
See https://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#res for more details
Firstly, the route handlers for express routes always have (request, response, next)
as it's parameters. You can use the response object to send data back to the client.
Instead of passing the elasticsearch.search
method as a route handler, you can write your own route handler and call elasticsearch.search
in there, so you still have access to the response
object. For example:
function handleSearch(req, res, next) {
elasticsearch.search()
.then(function(data) {
res.json(data)
})
.catch(next)
}
And structure your search function like so:
const elasticsearch = {
search() {
return esClient.search({
index: indexName,
q: "test"
})
.then((body) => body) // just return the body from this method
}
}
This way you separate your concerns of querying elastic and handling the request. You also have access to the request object in case you want to pass any query string parameters from your request to your search function.
