ActiveModel / ActiveRecord

The elasticsearch-model Rubygem provides integration with Ruby domain objects ("models"), commonly found for example, in Ruby on Rails applications.

It uses the elasticsearch Rubygem as the client communicating with the Elasticsearch cluster.

Features

edit

ActiveModel integration with adapters for ActiveRecord and Mongoid
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
Support for Kaminari and WillPaginate pagination
Extension implemented via proxy object to shield model namespace from collisions
Convenience methods for (re)creating the index, setting up mappings, indexing documents, …

Usage

edit

Add the library to your Gemfile:

gem 'elasticsearch-rails'

Include the extension module in your model class:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Elasticsearch::Model
end

Import some data and perform a search:

Article.import

response = Article.search 'fox dog'
response.took
# => 3

It is possible to either return results as model instances, or decorated documents from Elasticsearch, with the records and results methods, respectively:

response.records.first
# Article Load (0.4ms)  SELECT "articles".* FROM "articles"  WHERE ...
=> #<Article id: 3, title: "Foo " ...>

response.results.first._score
# => 0.02250402

response.results.first._source.title
# => "Quick brown fox"
