@kbn/query

KQL is transformed to ElasticSearch Query by the es-query module used in kibana v8.9.0. but no such package in npm or other registries. So create this repo to build them from the source code.

it includes 3 steps:

1. build the package from elastic/kibana source code
2. copy only es-query and packages it depends on to this repo
3. setup necessary config, e.g., the main entry

build from elastic/kibana source code

1. download kibana source code, repo https://github.com/elastic/kibana
2. build, run yarn kbn bootstrap and yarn build

   update src/dev/build/build_distributables.ts to stop before if (options.createPlatformFolders) with a throw statement, otherwise the sub packages will be removed by later tasks.

Now we got all the sub packages transformed/compiled in folder build/kibana/node_modules/@kbn, and all we need is the below 2 packages:

• es-query and
• i18n - used by es-query

config this repo

1. install deps used by the above 2 packages:

   • lodash
   • moment
   • moment-timezone
   • [email protected], please use the exact version as in 'elastic/kibana' package.json
   • [email protected]
   • [email protected]

2. copy the 2 packages to deps, and add it to NODE_PATH env variable with cross-env before running command.

3. re-export it
