Part of the Search UI project.

This Connector is used to connect Search UI to Elastic's App Search API.

⚠️ Deprecation Notice

Note: The AppSearchConnector package is deprecated and will no longer be supported. Please migrate to Elasticsearch Connector for continued support.

Usage

npm install --save @elastic/search-ui-app-search-connector

import AppSearchAPIConnector from "@elastic/search-ui-app-search-connector";

const connector = new AppSearchAPIConnector({
  searchKey: "search-371auk61r2bwqtdzocdgutmg",
  engineName: "search-ui-examples",
  endpointBase: "http://127.0.0.1:3002"
});

Swiftype.com App Search users:

When using the SaaS version available on swiftype.com of App Search, you can configure the connector using your hostIdentifier instead of the endpointBase parameter. The hostIdentifier can be found within the Credentials menu.

const connector = new AppSearchAPIConnector({
  searchKey: "search-371auk61r2bwqtdzocdgutmg",
  engineName: "search-ui-examples",
  hostIdentifier: "host-c5s2mj"
});

Additional options

Additional options will be passed through to the underlying APIclient. Any valid parameter of the client can be used.

const connector = new AppSearchAPIConnector({
  searchKey: "search-371auk61r2bwqtdzocdgutmg",
  engineName: "search-ui-examples",
  endpointBase: "http://127.0.0.1:3002",
  cacheResponses: false
});
