const response = await client.suggest({
  index: 'myindex',
  body: {
    mysuggester: {
      text: 'tset',
      term: {
        field: 'title'
      }
    }
  }
});

// response will be formatted like so:
//
// {
//   ...
//   mysuggester: [
//     {
//       text: "tset",
//       ...
//       options: [
//         {
//           text: "test",
//           score: 0.75,
//           freq: 5
//         }
//       ]
//     }
//   ]
