Lindel

This library is a small wrapper around :elastix to simplify interaction with a "static" index.

Experimental stuff, may change unexpectedly!

Due to the nature of being a wrapper it may cease functioning with any random update of the :elastix module. So be sure to test whatever you are using...

Setup

Add Lindel as a dependency to your mix.exs file:

defp deps do
  [{ :lindel, "~> 0.1" }]
end

You should also update your applications to include all necessary projects:

def application do
  # :elastix is not started by :lindel itself!
  [ applications: [ :elastix, :lindel ]]
end

Usage

Usage depends on two parts, configuration and index definition.

Defining the index is as simple as just creating a module for it:

defmodule MyIndex do
  use Lindel.Index, otp_app: :my_otp_app
end

The configuration is done separately:

config :my_otp_app, MyIndex,
  name: "the_name_of_the_index"
  url:  "http://url.to.elasticsearch.host"

This creates a wrapper structure with the following namespace mappings:

• Elastix.Index - MyIndex
• Elastix.Search - MyIndex
• Elastix.Document - MyIndex.Document
• Elastix.Mapping - MyIndex.Mapping

All functions asking for both server url and index name are provided without both parameters:

# original functions
Elastix.Index.exists?(elastic_url, index_name)
Elastix.Search.search(elastic_url, index_name, types, data)

Elastix.Document.index(elastic_url, index_name, type_name, id, data)
Elastix.Mapping.put(elastic_url, index_name, type_name, data)

# wrapped functions
MyIndex.exists?()
MyIndex.search(types, data)

MyIndex.Document.index(type_name, id, data)
MyIndex.Mapping.put(type_name, data)
