## Getting started 🐣

```

or clone locally:

```shell
$ git clone [email protected]:elastic/site-search-node.git

## Usage

Create a new instance of the client with your api key:

```javascript
var SiteSearchClient = require("@elastic/site-search-node");
var client = new SiteSearchClient({
apiKey: "yourApiKey"
});
```

### Searching

```javascript
client.search(
{
engine: "my-engine",
q: "cats",
filters: {
page: {
enumField: "theFilter"
}
},
facets: {
page: ["enumField", "anotherField"]
}
},
function(err, res) {
console.log(res);
}
);
```

### Autocomplete

Autocomplete suggestion for `cat` on the engine `my-engine` with filters:

```javascript
client.suggest(
{
engine: "my-engine",

filters: {
page: {
enumField: "theFilter"
}
}
},
function(err, res) {
console.log(res);
}
);
```

### Click

id: "the-document-id",
documentType: "page"
},
function(err, res) {
console.log(res);

Check out the tests for more examples!

## Running tests

```shell
$ npm test
```

The tests use stubbed HTTP interactions that are recorded with the [node-replay](https://github.com/assaf/node-replay) module. By default, HTTP interactions are not allowed when running the tests.

The tests can also use environment variables so that you can create new replays against your own account. Don't forget to change the "authorization" header in the replay files to not give away your api key.

- SITE_SEARCH_TEST_MY_ENGINE = the slug for your 'my-engine' in the tests
- SITE_SEARCH_TEST_BOOKSTORE_ENGINE = the slug for your 'bookstore' in the tests
- SITE_SEARCH_TEST_TEMPORARY_ENGINE = the slug for your 'temporary' in the tests
- SITE_SEARCH_TEST_API_KEY = your api key in the tests
- REPLAY = 'record' to record new replay files
