NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::ElasticSearch - Dancer2 plugin for obtaining Search::Elasticsearch handles

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

use Dancer2::Plugin::ElasticSearch;
get '/count_all_docs' => sub {
  return elastic->search(search_type => 'count',
                         body => { query => { match_all => {} } });
}

DESCRIPTION

This Dancer2 plugin handles connection configuration and fork-and-thread safety for ElasticSearch connectors.

KEYWORDS

elastic

elastic->ping;
elastic('other')->ping;

Return a Search::Elasticsearch::Client subclass suitable for running queries against an ElasticSearch instance. Each thread is guaranteed to have its own client instances. If a connection already exists for a given configuration name, it is returned instead of being re-created.

If a configuration name is not passed, "default" is assumed.

CONFIGURATION

plugins:
  ElasticSearch:
    default:
      params:
        nodes: localhost:9200
    other:
      params: etc

The params hashref must contain a map of parameters that can be passed directly to the Search::Elasticsearch constructor. In the above example, calling elastic (or elastic('default')) will result in

Search::Elasticsearch->new(nodes => 'localhost:9200');

INSTALLATION

You can install this module as you would any Perl module.

During installation, the unit tests will run queries against a local ElasticSearch instance if there is one (read-only queries, of course!). If you have no local ElasticSearch instance, but still wish to run the unit tests, set the D2_PLUGIN_ES variable to "$host:$port". If no instance can be reached, the tests will be safely skipped.
