Searchkit is a TypeScript monorepo that provides a library and server-side API to bridge Algolia's InstantSearch UI components with Elasticsearch. It transforms InstantSearch search parameters into Elasticsearch queries, executes them via a configurable transporter (supporting API keys, basic auth, cloud_id, custom headers), and transforms responses back into InstantSearch-compatible format. The core package (`searchkit`) handles request/response transformation, query rules (conditions and actions like pin, boost, rewrite), facets (string, numeric, date, nested, geo), filters, sorting (with nested fields and array modes), highlighting/snippets (with wildcard and nested path support), and KNN/hybrid search. The `@searchkit/api` package provides a Node.js client factory for building search endpoints, and `@searchkit/instantsearch-client` offers a browser-side adapter that can connect either to a Searchkit API endpoint or directly to Elasticsearch. The monorepo also includes an analytics plugin for Elasticsearch Behavioral Analytics, extensive functional tests using nock snapshots, sample datasets, and integration examples for Next.js, Express, Cloudflare Workers, Vue, and plain JavaScript. The architecture is config-driven, with a `SearchkitConfig` object defining connection, search settings, facets, filters, sorting, and query rules, plus hooks for customizing queries and responses.
