NAME

Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Default - The default type map used by Elastic::Model

VERSION

version 0.25

DESCRIPTION

Moose's type constraints and introspection allows Elastic::Model to figure out how to map your data model to the ElasticSearch backend with the minimum of effort on your part.

What YOU need to do is: Be specific about the type constraint for each attribute.

For instance, if you have an attribute called count, then specify the type constraint isa => 'Int'. That way, we know how to define the field in ElasticSearch, and how to deflate and inflate the value.

Type constraints can inherit their mapping, inflator and deflator from their parent type-constraints. For instance, if you were to assign count the type constraint PositiveInt, although we don't know about that constraint, we do know about its parent, Int, so we could still handle the field correctly.

Type maps are used to define:

• what mapping Elastic::Model will generate for each attribute when you create an index or update the mapping of an existing index.
• how Elastic::Model will deflate and inflate each attribute when saving or retrieving docs stored in ElasticSearch.

BUILT-IN TYPE MAPS

Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Default loads the following type-maps.

• Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Moose
• Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Objects
• Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Structured
• Elastic::Model::TypeMap::ES
• Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Common

DEFINING YOUR OWN TYPE MAP

See Elastic::Model::TypeMap::Base for instructions on how to define your own type-map classes.

TWEAKING YOUR ATTRIBUTE MAPPING

See Elastic::Manual::Attributes for keywords you can use in your attribute declarations to tweak the mapping of individual fields.
