Integration guide based on phind output
To create a FastAPI route that uses the AsyncElasticsearch client, we can use dependency injection to inject the client as a dependency. Here's how to do it:
-
First, we need to install the required libraries. We need the
elasticsearch
library for the Elasticsearch client and thefastapi
library for the web framework. We can install them using pip:pip install elasticsearch fastapi
-
Next, we need to create an instance of the AsyncElasticsearch client and add it as a dependency to our FastAPI app. Here's an example:
from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends from elasticsearch import AsyncElasticsearch app = FastAPI() async def get_es_client(): es_client = AsyncElasticsearch(hosts=["localhost"]) yield es_client await es_client.close() @app.get("/") async def root(es_client: AsyncElasticsearch = Depends(get_es_client)): # Use the Elasticsearch client to perform a search result = await es_client.search(index="my-index", body={"query": {"match_all": {}}}) return result
In this example, we define a function
get_es_client
that creates an instance of the AsyncElasticsearch client and yields it as a dependency. We also define a FastAPI route that depends on the Elasticsearch client. When the route is called, FastAPI will inject the Elasticsearch client as a dependency.Note that we use the
yield
keyword instead ofreturn
inget_es_client
. This is because we want to keep the Elasticsearch client open for the duration of the request. When the request is finished, FastAPI will callawait es_client.close()
to close the client.We also specify the
hosts
parameter when creating the Elasticsearch client. This tells the client where to connect to. In this example, we connect to a local Elasticsearch instance. -
To test the route, we can start the FastAPI app using
uvicorn
:uvicorn main:app --reload
This will start the app and automatically reload it whenever we make changes to the code.
-
We can now make a request to the route using a web browser or a tool like
curl
. The response should be a JSON object containing the results of the Elasticsearch search.$ curl http://localhost:8000/ {"took": 1, "timed_out": false, "_shards": {...}}
Note that we didn't specify the
index
orbody
parameters when calling thesearch
method. This is because they are already specified in the route definition. If we want to perform a different search, we can modify thebody
parameter in the route definition.@app.get("/") async def root(es_client: AsyncElasticsearch = Depends(get_es_client)): # Use the Elasticsearch client to perform a search result = await es_client.search(index="my-other-index", body={"query": {"match_all": {}}}) return result
This will perform a search on the
my-other-index
index instead of themy-index
index.
