Workplace Search Connector

This Connector is used to connect Search UI to Elastic’s Workplace Search API.

npm install --save @elastic/search-ui-workplace-search-connector

import WorkplaceSearchAPIConnector from "@elastic/search-ui-workplace-search-connector";

const connector = new WorkplaceSearchAPIConnector({
  kibanaBase: "https://search-ui-sandbox.kb.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243",
  enterpriseSearchBase:
    "https://search-ui-sandbox.ent.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io",
  redirectUri: "http://localhost:3000",
  clientId: "8e495e40fc4e6acf515e557e634de39d4f727f7f60a3afed24a99ce316607c1e"
});

See the usage example in our sandbox app. The example uses a private Elastic Cloud deployment. Make sure to update the configuration values to use with your own Elastic Cloud deployment.

The Workplace Search API requires authentication. This connector uses OAuth authentication. You can read more about that here and here.

Using this connector will populate two additional pieces of Application State:

isLoggedIn (boolean) - This can be used to determine whether or not a user is authenticated. Requests using this connector will only work if a user is authenticatied. If this is false, consider showing a "Login" link using the authorizeUrl state.

authorizeUrl (string) - This can be used to create a "Login" link for users to initiate OAuth authentication.

logout - (function) - This action can be used to log out user out of the search experience. Under the hood it 1) deletes the saved token from LocalStorage and 2) logs user out of Enterprise Search and Kibana to prevent the ability to get a new access token.
