I'm using Javascript client. Trying to create search templates through it, but didn't found the method to do it.

Use the `putScript` API to create a search template (which is nothing else than a script). [API Reference | Elasticsearch Node.js client [7.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/api-reference.html#_putscript)

Then the [searchTemplate](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/api-reference.html#_searchtemplate) should be the way to go.
