How to create basic token from username and password, and then put in header
const username = 'username';
const password = 'password';
const encodedBase64Token = Buffer.from(`${username}:${password}`).toString('base64');
const authorization = `Basic ${encodedBase64Token}`;
var request = {
host: endpoint,
method: 'POST',
path: '/_bulk',
body: body,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Host': endpoint,
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(body),
'X-Amz-Security-Token': process.env.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN,
'X-Amz-Date': datetime,
'Authorization': authorization,
}
};
Here is what the above code is Doing:
1. We’re creating a new date object and formatting it to the required format.
2. We’re creating a new body object and adding the data we want to send to Elasticsearch.
3. We’re creating a new authorization object and adding the username and password.
4. We’re creating a new request object and adding the host, method, path, body, and headers.
Now that we have our request object, we can send it to Elasticsearch.
