This repository contains various Ruby and Rails integrations for Elasticsearch:
- ActiveModel integration with adapters for ActiveRecord and Mongoid
- Repository pattern based persistence layer for Ruby objects
- Enumerable-based wrapper for search results
- ActiveRecord::Relation-based wrapper for returning search results as records
- Convenience model methods such as
search
,mapping
,import
, etc - Rake tasks for importing the data
- Support for Kaminari and WillPaginate pagination
- Integration with Rails' instrumentation framework
- Templates for generating example Rails application
Elasticsearch client and Ruby API is provided by the elasticsearch-ruby project.
The libraries are compatible with Ruby 1.9.3 and higher.
The version numbers follow the Elasticsearch major versions, and the master
branch
is compatible with the Elasticsearch master
branch, therefore, with the next major version.
Rubygem | Elasticsearch | |
---|---|---|
0.1 | → | 1.x |
2.x | → | 2.x |
5.x | → | 5.x |
6.x | → | 6.x |
master | → | master |
Install each library from Rubygems:
gem install elasticsearch-model
gem install elasticsearch-rails
To use an unreleased version, add it to your Gemfile
for Bundler:
gem 'elasticsearch-model', github: 'elastic/elasticsearch-rails', branch: '5.x'
gem 'elasticsearch-rails', github: 'elastic/elasticsearch-rails', branch: '5.x'
This project is split into three separate gems:
-
elasticsearch-model
, which contains search integration for Ruby/Rails models such as ActiveRecord::Base and Mongoid, -
elasticsearch-persistence
, which provides a standalone persistence layer for Ruby/Rails objects and models -
elasticsearch-rails
, which contains various features for Ruby on Rails applications
Example of a basic integration into an ActiveRecord-based model:
require 'elasticsearch/model'
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
include Elasticsearch::Model
include Elasticsearch::Model::Callbacks
end
# Index creation right at import time is not encouraged.
# Typically, you would call create_index! asynchronously (e.g. in a cron job)
# However, we are adding it here so that this usage example can run correctly.
Article.__elasticsearch__.create_index!
Article.import
@articles = Article.search('foobar').records
You can generate a simple Ruby on Rails application with a single command (see the other available templates):
rails new searchapp --skip --skip-bundle --template https://raw.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-rails/master/elasticsearch-rails/lib/rails/templates/01-basic.rb
Example of using Elasticsearch as a repository for a Ruby domain object:
require 'virtus'
class Article
include Virtus.model
attribute :title, String
end
require 'elasticsearch/persistence'
repository = Elasticsearch::Persistence::Repository.new
repository.save Article.new(title: 'Test')
# POST http://localhost:9200/repository/article
# => {"_index"=>"repository", "_type"=>"article", "_id"=>"Ak75E0U9Q96T5Y999_39NA", ...}
Please refer to each library documentation for detailed information and examples.
To work on the code, clone the repository and install all dependencies first:
git clone https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-rails.git
cd elasticsearch-rails/
bundle install
rake bundle:install
You can run unit and integration tests for each sub-project by running the respective Rake tasks in their folders.
You can also unit, integration, or both tests for all sub-projects from the top-level directory:
rake test:all
The test suite expects an Elasticsearch cluster running on port 9250, and will delete all the data. You can launch an isolated, in-memory Elasticsearch cluster with the following Rake task:
TEST_CLUSTER_COMMAND=/tmp/builds/elasticsearch-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/elasticsearch TEST_CLUSTER_NODES=1 bundle exec rake test:cluster:start
See more information in the documentation for the elasticsearch-extensions
gem.
