Elasticsearch Filter Append
Append additional filters to filters, queries, and filtered queries.
Why?
This library exists primarily for security reasons. Imagine you're accepting a user generated filter but would like to tack on security trimming to input. A user could submit an arbitrary filter that opens up the flood gates and allows them to see EVERYTHING. You could ensure the user only views their information by appending an extra security filter to their input; trimming their results on the fly.

constructor(queryClause)
queryClause- An elasticsearch query (DSL) clause
var FilterBuilder = require('elasticsearch-filter-append')
var queryClause = {
filter: {
term: {
name: 'Atlanta, GA'
}
}
}
var builder = new FilterBuilder(queryClause)append(filter1, filter2, filter3....filterN|Array)
append supports variable arguments or an Array as input:
var FilterBuilder = require('elasticsearch-filter-append')
var queryClause = {
filter: {
term: {
name: 'Atlanta, GA'
}
}
}
var filter1 = {
term: {
name: 'Wimberly'
}
}
var filter2 = {
term: {
name: 'Antwan'
}
}
var builder = new FilterBuilder(queryClause)
builder.append(filter1, filter2)OR
var FilterBuilder = require('elasticsearch-filter-append')
var queryClause = {
filter: {
term: {
name: 'Atlanta, GA'
}
}
}
var filter1 = {
term: {
name: 'Wimberly'
}
}
var filter2 = {
term: {
name: 'Antwan'
}
}
var filters = [filter1, filter2]
var builder = new FilterBuilder(queryClause)
builder.append(filters)The set of filters provided will be converted to an instance of a should filter. That means at least one of the condtitions
provided must evaluate to true. You can apply as many groups of conditions as you like. For example, to represent
(cond1 OR cond2) AND (cond3)
You could call append as follows:
var secureQueryClause = builder.append(filter1, filter2).append(filter3).toQueryClause()Yes, did I mention that append also supports chaining? :wink:
toQueryClause()
toQueryClause is very straightforward. It unwraps the accumulated filter. It should be called subsequent to calls to
append. append will take the latest state of the query clause into account while chaining. For example,
you could go from a query, to a filtered query with a should filter, to a filtered query with a must filter.
Once you have a query clause, you can forward the final payload off to elasticsearch:
var elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch')
var FilterBuilder = require('elasticsearch-filter-append')
var queryClause = {
filter: {
term: {
name: 'Atlanta, GA'
}
}
}
var filter = {
term: {
name: 'Wimberly'
}
}
var builder = new FilterBuilder(queryClause).toQueryClause()
var secureQueryClause = builder.append(filter)
