Configuration

Configuration files are based in `./config/` directory. The main configuration file is `root.json`. Below is example of configuration: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "{\n \"elasticsearch\": {\n \"host\": \"localhost:9200\",\n \"log\": \"error\"\n },\n \"redis\": {\n \"host\": \"127.0.0.1\",\n \"port\": 6379,\n \"auth_pass\": null\n },\n \"server\": {\n \"host\": \"http://127.0.0.1\",\n \"port\": 3000\n },\n \"collections\": {\n \"db\": \"json\",\n \"filename\": \"./config/collections.json\"\n }\n}", "language": "json", "name": "root.json" } ] } [/block] You can override it with `./config/local.json` [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "{\n \"collections\": {\n \"db\": \"json\",\n \"filename\": \"./config/local/my-local-collections.json\"\n }\n}", "language": "json", "name": "local.json" } ] } [/block] As you see it is quite flexible. You can override configurations programmatically if you use itemsapi in node.js script: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var itemsapi = require('itemsapi');\n\nitemsapi.init({\n server: {\n port: 5000\n },\n collections: {\n db: 'json',\n filename: './collections.json'\n },\n elasticsearch: {\n host: 'localhost:9200'\n }\n}) ", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block] You can even extend express.js to make additionals endpoints i.e. yourdomain.com/about-us: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "var itemsapi = require('./server');\nitemsapi.init({})\n\n// standard express syntax\nvar express = itemsapi.get('express');\nexpress.get('/about-us', function(req, res) {\n res.json({\n name: 'itemsapi',\n license: 'MIT'\n });\n});\n", "language": "javascript" } ] } [/block] [block:api-header] { "type": "basic", "title": "Collections configuration" } [/block] In config file we include `collections` configuration which currently is stored in JSON file.

It is a way to filter items to get more narrow and precise results. There are few type of aggregations. The first one is the simplest `terms`. The field for `terms` be string (i.e. some country) or array (i.e. list of tags) [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "{\n \"schema\": {\n \"country\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"index\": \"not_analyzed\",\n \"store\": true\n }\n },\n \"aggregations\": {\n \"country\": {\n \"type\": \"terms\",\n \"field\": \"country\",\n \"size\": 10,\n \"conjunction\": true,\n \"title\": \"Country\"\n }\n }\n}\n", "language": "javascript", "name": "part of collection conf" } ] } [/block] It looks like: [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/5BIO5nPR1K6IWOyx3wO0_Selection_263.jpg", "Selection_263.jpg", "270", "240", "#72889c", "" ] } ] } [/block] Sorting terms aggregation: [block:code] { "codes": [ { "code": "{\n \"schema\": {\n \"country\": {\n \"type\": \"string\",\n \"index\": \"not_analyzed\",\n \"store\": true\n }\n },\n \"aggregations\": {\n \"country\": {\n \"type\": \"terms\",\n \"field\": \"country\",\n \"size\": 10,\n \"title\": \"Country\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"sort\": \"_term\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"order\": \"asc\"\n }\n }\n}\n", "language": "json" } ] } [/block] [block:callout] { "type": "info", "title": "Sorting options", "body": "\"sort\" can be \"_term\" or \"_count\" and \"order\": \"asc\" or \"desc\"" } [/block] [block:api-header] { "type": "basic", "title": "Geo distance aggregation" } [/block] Next type of aggregation is `geo_distance`.
