I'm using the elasticsearch javascript API, 1.5, as currently 1.5 is the latest version of ElasticSearch which AWS elasticsearch supports.
The function in javascript which I am suppose to use works given the following template
{
_source: ['inner_hits'],
size: `{{size}}{{^size}}10{{/size}}`,
from: `{{from}}{{^from}}0{{/from}}`,
filter: {
prefix: {
series: `{{series}}`,
isbn: `{{isbn}}`,
},
},
}
The current filter works, but doesn't allow an array of 'series', or 'isbns' to be passed into the filter. I can't use the following filter object
filter: {
terms: {
series: [`{{series}}`],
isbn: [`{{isbn}}`],
},
},
because if series or isbn is not passed in, no book matches an empty string, even if I passed in a default value, it would have to match every book, which would mean it would have to contain all series, and all isbns.
Ideally, I would just write a normal mustache file, and use pre-registered templates the way described here.
This describes two ways of storing templates on the cluster, first storing them in the config/scripts directory, which I don't have access to on AWS elasticsearch, and secondly, passing in the templates as a string to an index called ".scripts".
For the second option i'm unaware of how to do this using the elasticsearch.js api, so I would have to do it another way, and I can't find an example of this online.
