elasticsearch: create index with mappings using javascript

Question

I\'m trying to create an elasticsearch index with mappings using the official javascript client.

My code is as follows:

Answer 1

None of these examples worked for me on ElasticSearch 5.3 API.

Here is an example that works for 5.3.

elasticClient.indices.putMapping({
    index: indexName,
    type: "document",
    body: {
        properties: {
            title: { type: "string" },
            content: { type: "string" },
            suggest: {
                type: "completion",
                analyzer: "simple",
                search_analyzer: "simple",
                payloads: true
            }
        }
    }
})

Note that the type has been pulled out of the body, and only the sub-params that were under the type are now in the body.
