Installation

$ npm install sage

Experimental Browser Support

sage.js and sage.min.js are the browser and minified browser versions of the library. Modern browsers are generally supported, but not widely tested. The test/index.html and test/index-min.html run the mocha tests in the browser.

Security restrictions on cross-domain requests currently limits the usefulness of the browser version. Using a local proxy or configuring Cross-Origin Resource Sharing on a proxy in front of ElasticSearch may allow you to use the library in the browser.

Philosophy

The philosophy of sage is to provide a thin wrapper around the ElasticSearch API, making the search engine easier to use from JavaScript. sage is designed to quickly allow you to get started with ElasticSearch. As you get more comfortable with sage and Elasticsearch, sage gives you full access to ElasticSearch's more advanced features.

The library API generally follows the RESTful API, so you can use the ElasticSearch docs as well as the sage docs to build your applications. If a feature is missing from sage or you need to access more advanced features, the request method allows you to send custom requests directly to ElasticSearch.
