0.1.3

Patch Changes

• d9c13d535: Implements configuration and indexing functionality for ElasticSearch search engine. Adds indexing, searching and default translator for ElasticSearch and modifies default backend example-app to use ES if it is configured.

  Example configurations:

  AWS

  Using AWS hosted ElasticSearch the only configuration options needed is the URL to the ElasticSearch service. The implementation assumes that environment variables for AWS access key id and secret access key are defined in accordance to the default AWS credential chain..

  search:
    elasticsearch:
      provider: aws
      node: https://my-backstage-search-asdfqwerty.eu-west-1.es.amazonaws.com
  

  Elastic.co

  Elastic Cloud hosted ElasticSearch uses a Cloud ID to determine the instance of hosted ElasticSearch to connect to. Additionally, username and password needs to be provided either directly or using environment variables like defined in Backstage documentation.

  search:
    elasticsearch:
      provider: elastic
      cloudId: backstage-elastic:asdfqwertyasdfqwertyasdfqwertyasdfqwerty==
      auth:
        username: elastic
        password: changeme
  

  Others

  Other ElasticSearch instances can be connected to by using standard ElasticSearch authentication methods and exposed URL, provided that the cluster supports that. The configuration options needed are the URL to the node and authentication information. Authentication can be handled by either providing username/password or and API key or a bearer token. In case both username/password combination and one of the tokens are provided, token takes precedence. For more information how to create an API key, see Elastic documentation on API keys and how to create a bearer token, see Elastic documentation on tokens.

  Configuration examples

  With username and password

  search:
    elasticsearch:
      node: http://localhost:9200
      auth:
        username: elastic
        password: changeme
  

  With bearer token

  search:
    elasticsearch:
      node: http://localhost:9200
      auth:
        bearer: token
  

  With API key

  search:
    elasticsearch:
      node: http://localhost:9200
      auth:
        apiKey: base64EncodedKey

  • @backstage/config@0.1.6

0.1.2

Patch Changes

• db1c8f93b: The `<Search...Next /> set of components exported by the Search Plugin are now updated to use the Search Backend API. These will be made available as the default non-"next" versions in a follow-up release.

  The interfaces for decorators and collators in the Search Backend have also seen minor, breaking revisions ahead of a general release. If you happen to be building on top of these interfaces, check and update your implementations accordingly. The APIs will be considered more stable in a follow-up release.
