[[api-index-0-90]]
=== `index`
[source,js]
--------
client.index([params, [callback]])
--------
Stores a typed JSON document in an index, making it searchable. When the `id` param is not set, a unique id will be auto-generated. When you specify an `id` either a new document will be created, or an existing document will be updated. To enforce "put-if-absent" behavior set the `opType` to `"create"` or use the `create()` method.
Optimistic concurrency control is performed, when the `version` argument is specified. By default, no version checks are performed.
By default, the document will be available for `get()` actions immediately, but will only be available for searching after an index refresh (which can happen automatically or manually). See <<api-indices-refresh>>.
Check the *<<api-conventions>>* and http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/0.90/docs-index_.html[the elasticsearch docs] for more information pertaining to this method.
