=== TypeScript support
The client offers a first-class support for TypeScript, shipping a complete set
of type definitions of Elasticsearch's API surface.
The types are not 100% complete yet. Some APIs are missing (the newest ones, e.g. EQL),
and others may contain some errors, but we are continuously pushing fixes & improvements.
NOTE: The client is developed against the https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript?activeTab=versions[latest]
version of TypeScript. Furthermore, unless you have set `skipLibCheck` to `true`,
you should configure `esModuleInterop` to `true`.

==== Example
[source,ts]
----
import { Client } from '@elastic/elasticsearch'
const client = new Client({
cloud: { id: '<cloud-id>' },
auth: { apiKey: 'base64EncodedKey' }
})
interface Document {
character: string
quote: string
}
async function run () {
// Let's start by indexing some data
await client.index({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
document: {
character: 'Ned Stark',
quote: 'Winter is coming.'
}
})
await client.index({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
document: {
character: 'Daenerys Targaryen',
quote: 'I am the blood of the dragon.'
}
})
await client.index({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
document: {
character: 'Tyrion Lannister',
quote: 'A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone.'
}
})
// here we are forcing an index refresh, otherwise we will not
// get any result in the consequent search
await client.indices.refresh({ index: 'game-of-thrones' })
// Let's search!
const result= await client.search<Document>({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
query: {
match: { quote: 'winter' }
}
})
console.log(result.hits.hits)
}
run().catch(console.log)
