Search Service

It is a Go-based service that provides search functionality using Elasticsearch for a collection of stores and their items.

Features

• Elasticsearch with MongoDB: Utilizes Elasticsearch to perform efficient searches on store data. Using go-elasticsearch and Monstache for quick and easy integration with MongoDB.
• Gin Web Framework: Uses the Gin web framework for handling HTTP requests and responses.
• Structured Query: Supports structured queries, including nested queries. Integrated dashboard with Kibana.

Prerequisites

Before running the service, make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• Go (version 1.20 or higher)
• Elasticsearch (version 6.x)
• Docker

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/search-service.git
   cd search-service
   

2. Add your personal MongoDB URL to the config.toml file in the monstache directory.

   mongo-url = <url for your personal mongo instance>
   

3. Add a .env file in the root directory. It should contain the following fields.

   PORT=<port for the api-service>
   ELASTICSEARCH_URL=<url for your personal elasticsearch instance>
   MONGODB_URL=<url for your personal mongo instance>
   MONGODB_COLLECTION=<database-name.collection-name in your mongo instance> 
   

4. Build the docker image for the api-service. Run the following command in the root directory.

   docker build -t search-service-api:latest .
   

5. Start the services using docker-compose. Note that it is expected your Mongo is hosted on cloud.

   sudo docker-compose compose build && sudo docker-compose up
   

   When you start the services for the first time, your Elastic/Kibana credentials will be in the application logs, on your terminal screen.

6. After the services are up and running, you can visit the Kibana dashboard at http://localhost:5601/. Enter the credentials required. Now you can run queries!
