Is there any unit test example when using elasticsearch Search UI libraries? I need help when try to mock ElasticSearchAPIConnector., wondering any examples that I can learn?

Thanks!

You can look at the unit tests within search-ui for ElasticsearchAPIConnector.

Elasticsearch connector uses [Searchkit](https://www.searchkit.co) so our unit tests just jest mock it. You can see an example here [search-ui/index.test.ts at main · elastic/search-ui · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/search-ui/blob/main/packages/search-ui-engines-connector/src/handlers/search/ __tests__ /index.test.ts)

Searchkit mocks the network request to Elasticsearch. [searchkit/index.test.ts at main · searchkit/searchkit · GitHub](https://github.com/searchkit/searchkit/blob/main/packages/searchkit/src/ ___tests___ /functional/index.test.ts#L37)

Hope this helps!
