Bodybuilder is a small JavaScript library for building Elasticsearch query bodies with a simple, chainable, predictable API. It supports the full Elasticsearch query DSL including queries, filters, aggregations, and suggestions, with compatibility options for Elasticsearch 1.x.

Use cases

  • build complex elasticsearch queries programmatically
  • construct elasticsearch query DSL without writing raw JSON
  • compose nested queries and aggregations in JavaScript
  • generate elasticsearch filter and aggregation bodies
  • maintain readable elasticsearch query code in Node.js apps

When to choose

  • you write Elasticsearch queries in JavaScript/Node.js and want a fluent builder instead of hand-written JSON
  • you need to dynamically compose queries, filters, and aggregations at runtime
  • you want a lightweight dependency with full query DSL coverage

When to avoid

  • you use a different search engine than Elasticsearch
  • your queries are static and simple enough to write as plain JSON objects
  • you need a client that also handles connections and requests (bodybuilder only builds bodies, it does not send them)
