This is a template repository for setting up NodeJS/Typescript & connecting it to ElasticSearch.
- Elastic search service (download it here)
- Node 12 & up
You can check which node version you have via
node --versionin your terminal.
To install the project run:
yarn install
After installing the dependecies, you must modify a few files to meet the requirements:
- Set up the config file, you can create a .env file in the root directory (Copy from env.example and set your secrets).
- Update the indexing script to create and populate data in the elasticsearch index, you can modify the create-elasticsearch-index.ts file in src/scripts to speed up the process.
- Once the index is all setup and populated, you must update the elastic search route located src/routes/index.ts.
Once you are done following the details above, you can run the app.
yarn server:start
Or start it in development mode to take advantage of nodemon
Note, nodemon is already a part of this service, but it can simply be used by running this command below.
yarn run server:dev
