README

A search proxy system that proxies all search queries through a SilverStripe-hosted endpoint so that your API keys, endpoint URLs etc. aren't exposed to the public.

This is designed to be used alongside the elastic/search-ui React library. It lets you use all the power and flexibility of the React-powered frontend, while ensuring your API credentials and endpoint remain hidden.

The concept behind this is simple enough that should be straightforward to port to other frameworks if desired.

Requirements

• SilverStripe ^4
• Elastic App Search, Elastic Enterprise Search or similar (either self-hosted or Elastic Cloud)

Installation

composer require madmatt/silverstripe-elastic-proxy

Configuration

This module does nothing until it's configured. See docs/configuration.md.

Upgrading

When new versions of the module are released, you will need to manually re-run through the configuration steps again - nothing will automatically update for you.

Troubleshooting

If you are having issues with the module, first try reverting the JS changes made in the configuration docs, to ensure what you are doing works fine when connecting directly to Elastic. If it does, but it doesn't work when using the endpointBase of /_search, there may be a bug with the module - please create a GitHub issue with as much detail as you can.
