== About
=== Features
* One-to-one mapping with REST API
* Configurable, automatic discovery of cluster nodes
* Persistent, Keep-Alive connections
* Intelligent handling of node/connection failure
* Load balancing (with plug-able selection strategy) across all available nodes.
* Works great in node, as well as modern browsers (many thanks to https://github.com/substack/node-browserify[browserify]!).
* Generalized, plug-able, and highly configurable architecture. You can change anything! See <<extending_core_components>>
=== Install in Node
[source,shell]
--------
npm install --save elasticsearch
--------
=== Browser Builds
We also provide builds of the elasticsearch.js client for use in the browser. These versions of the client are currently ***experimental***. We test these builds using https://saucelabs.com/u/elasticsearch-js[saucelabs] in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 10, and 11. We also test in IE 9, but there is a known issue with making non-standard (get/post) requests across domains.
==== Bower
If you use bower to manage your dependencies, then just run:
[source,shell]
---------
bower install elasticsearch
---------
==== Download
* v2.1.4: https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-js/elasticsearch-js-2.1.4.zip[zip], https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-js/elasticsearch-js-2.1.4.tar.gz[tar.gz]
==== Angular Build (elasticsearch.angular.js)
* Registers the elasticsearch object as a factory `esFactory`
* Uses Angular's `$http` service
* Returns promises using Angular's `$q` service to properly trigger digest cycles within Angular
.Create a client instance and register it as a service
[source,js]
-------------------
module.service('es', function (esFactory) {
return esFactory({
host: 'localhost:9200',
// ...
});
});
-------------------
==== jQuery Build (elasticsearch.jquery.js)
* Uses jQuery's `.ajax()` functionality
* Returns jQuery "promises"
* Registers the module at `jQuery.es`
.Create a client with the jQuery build
[source,js]
-------------------
var client = new $.es.Client({
hosts: 'localhost:9200'
});
-------------------
