Setting settings?

How can we use elasticsearch-js to set settings?

I assumed that this would work

var settings = {
    "index":{
        "analysis":{
            "analyzer":{
                "inurl_analyzer": {
                    "tokenizer":"ngram",
                    "filter":"lowercase"
                }
            },
            "tokenizer":{
                "ngram": {
                    "type": "ngram",
                    "min_gram": 3,
                    "max_gram": 50
                }
            }
        }
    }
};
client.indices.putSettings(settings, ...)

But then we get an error:

TypeError: Invalid index: expected be a comma seperated list, array, number or string.

When, this works flawlessly:

curl -X PUT "http://localhost:9200/superfeedr" -d '{
    "settings":{
        "index":{
            "analysis":{
                "analyzer":{
                    "inurl_analyzer": {
                        "tokenizer":"ngram",
                        "filter":"lowercase"
                    }
                },
                "tokenizer":{
                    "ngram": {
                        "type": "ngram",
                        "min_gram": 3,
                        "max_gram": 50
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}'

Ok, for posterity what worked was indeed creating the index, with a body:

client.indices.create({index: 'superfeedr', body: settings}

The curl request is different because it specifies an index name. I expect you will get the same result if you tell the js client the index to work with:

client.indices.putSettings({
  index: 'superfeedr',
  body: settings
});
