A mini utility to convert Elasticsearch's REST spec to Console's (Kibana) autocomplete format. This will be integrated into the Kibana repository when it's functional.

Until it's stable I'm using it 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 pull --depth=1 origin master

Usage

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

node bin/spec_to_console.js \
  -g "es-spec/x-pack/plugin/src/test/resources/rest-api-spec/api/*.json" \
  -d "../kibana/x-pack/plugins/console_extensions/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
