Elasticsearch Rails

This repository contains various Ruby and Rails integrations for Elasticsearch:

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 as search, 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 the elasticsearch-ruby project.

Installation

Install each library from Rubygems:

gem install elasticsearch-model
gem install elasticsearch-rails

To use an unreleased version, add it to your Gemfile for Bundler:

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

Compatibility

The libraries are compatible with Ruby 2.4 and higher.

We follow Ruby’s own maintenance policy and officially support all currently maintained versions per Ruby Maintenance Branches.

The version numbers follow the Elasticsearch major versions. Currently the main branch is compatible with version 7.x of the Elasticsearch stack. We haven't tested and updated the code for Elasticsearch 8.0 yet.

Rubygem		Elasticsearch
0.1	→	1.x
2.x	→	2.x
5.x	→	5.x
6.x	→	6.x
main	→	7.x

Usage

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'

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

# 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 the other 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: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/main/elasticsearch-rails/lib/rails/templates/01-basic.rb

Example of using Elasticsearch as a repository for a Ruby domain object:

class Article
  attr_accessor :title
end

require 'elasticsearch/persistence'
repository = Elasticsearch::Persistence::Repository.new

repository.save Article.new(title: 'Test')
# POST http://localhost:9200/repository/article
# => {"_index"=>"repository", "_type"=>"article", "_id"=>"Ak75E0U9Q96T5Y999_39NA", ...}

Please refer to each library documentation for detailed information and examples.

Development

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

git clone https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-rails.git
cd elasticsearch-rails/
bundle install
rake bundle:install

Running the Test Suite

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, and will delete all the data.
