This repository contains various Ruby and Rails integrations forElasticsearch:

• 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 assearch,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 theelasticsearch-ruby project.

Install each library fromRubygems:

gem install elasticsearch-modelgem install elasticsearch-rails

To use an unreleased version, add it to yourGemfile forBundler:

gem'elasticsearch-model',github:'elastic/elasticsearch-rails',branch:'5.x'gem'elasticsearch-rails',github:'elastic/elasticsearch-rails',branch:'5.x'

The libraries are compatible with Ruby 2.4 and higher.

The version numbers follow the Elasticsearch major versions. Themaster branch is compatible with the latest Elasticsearch stack stable release.

Use a release that matches the major version of Elasticsearch in your stack. Each client version is backwards compatible with all minor versions of the same major version.

Check outElastic product end of life dates to learn which releases are still actively supported and tested.

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'classArticle <ActiveRecord::BaseincludeElasticsearch::ModelincludeElasticsearch::Model::Callbacksend# 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 theother available templates). You'll need to have an Elasticsearch cluster running on your system before generating the app. The easiest way of getting this set up is by running it with Docker with this command:

  docker run \    --name elasticsearch-rails-searchapp \    --publish 9200:9200 \    --env"discovery.type=single-node" \    --env"cluster.name=elasticsearch-rails" \    --env"cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled=false" \    --rm \    docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss:7.6.0

Once Elasticsearch is running, you can generate the simple app with this command:

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:

classArticleattr_accessor:titleendrequire'elasticsearch/persistence'repository=Elasticsearch::Persistence::Repository.newrepository.saveArticle.new(title:'Test')# POST http://localhost:9200/repository/article# => {"_index"=>"repository", "_type"=>"article", "_id"=>"Ak75E0U9Q96T5Y999_39NA", ...}

To work on the code, clone the repository and install all dependencies first:

git clone https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-rails.gitcd elasticsearch-rails/bundle installrake 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, andwill delete all the data.
