Next.js
Start by connecting to your existing project and then run vercel link in the CLI to link to the project locally.
Connecting your project links the relevant environment variables. To use these variables in your local development environment, run:
vercel env pullInstall the OpenSearch SDK and the Vercel AWS helper that wires up SigV4 + OIDC:
npm install @opensearch-project/opensearch @vercel/awsCreate the OpenSearch client:
// lib/opensearch.tsimport { createOpenSearch } from '@vercel/aws';
const client = createOpenSearch();
export default client;You can create an index programmatically or via the OpenSearch Dashboards console:
// scripts/create-index.tsimport client from "@/lib/opensearch";
async function createIndex() { await client.indices.create({ index: "comments", body: { mappings: { properties: { comment: { type: "text" }, created_at: { type: "date" }, }, }, }, });}
createIndex();Update the page.tsx file to search and display comments from OpenSearch Serverless:
// app/page.tsximport client from "@/lib/opensearch";
export default async function Page() { const response = await client.search({ index: "comments", body: { query: { match_all: {}, }, sort: [{ created_at: { order: "desc" } }], }, });
const comments = response.body.hits.hits;
return ( <main className="main"> <h1 className="title">Next.js + OpenSearch Serverless</h1> <div className="container"> {comments.map((hit: any) => ( <div key={hit._id}> <p>{hit._source.comment}</p> <div className="metadata">{hit._id}</div> </div> ))} </div> </main> );}You're now ready to start your app locally:
npm run devNavigate to https://localhost:3000
Once ready, you can deploy your application to Vercel.
