kibana/packages/kbn-spec-to-console

A mini utility to convert Elasticsearch's REST spec to Console's (Kibana) autocomplete format.

It is used to semi-manually update Console's autocompletion rules.

Retrieving the spec

cd es-spec
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo "rest-api-spec/src/main/resources/rest-api-spec/api/*" > .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull --depth=1 origin master

Usage

yarn spec_to_console \
  -g "es-spec/rest-api-spec/src/main/resources/rest-api-spec/api/*.json" \
  -d "../kibana/src/core_plugins/console/api_server/spec/generated"

Information used in Console that is not available in the REST spec

• Request bodies
• Data fetched at runtime: indices, fields, snapshots, etc
• Ad hoc additions
