## README

# es-aws-iam-http-connector

This http connector [extends](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/extending_core_components.html) [Elasticsearch-js client](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/index.html) to allow you to use it against your [AWS ES domains](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/what-is-amazon-elasticsearch-service.html) that are [secured via AWS IAM-based access policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-createupdatedomains.html#es-createdomain-configure-access-policies).

This allows you to lock down your AWS ES domain - no need for IP-based access policies, and very granular security.

## Example

See [example/ping.js](example/ping.js).

## Credentials

### Local file

Stored in your profile's `~/.aws/credentials` file:
```js
aws: {
  credentials: new AWS.SharedIniFileCredentials({profile:'default'})
}
```

### From environment

For example, IAM instance profiles or AWS Lambda:
```js
aws: {
  credentials: new AWS.EnvironmentCredentials('AWS')
}
```
