npm package is out of date

Not sure why, but the dist file that npm spits out different than the one in master. Specifically, it's missing https://github.com/fullscale/elastic.js/blob/master/dist/elastic.js#L15769-L15772

This should fail to find anything via grep:

curl -O http://registry.npmjs.org/elastic.js/-/elastic.js-1.2.0.tgz
tar -zxvf elastic.js-1.2.0.tgz
grep 'fast-vector-highlighter' package/dist/elastic.js

(registry.npmjs.org URL comes from the dist.tarball property in the package.json file npm install elastic.js grabs)

Yes, I found a few missing features introduced after the last release version. At present, as a workaround, I'm using the following line in my package.json to load the latest code, using npm's native GitHub support (see https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#github-urls):

"elastic.js": "fullscale/elastic.js#b29b7d2"

I want to mention here, that version 1.1.1 doesn't contain all files from dist folder.
That's because files in package.json looks like this:

"files": [
    "elastic-node-client.js",
    "elastic.js"
  ],

@dmitryt, @mklaber, @timcroydon This library hasn't been updated in years. You could try elastic-builder if you are using elasticsearch@2 or higher. You can also try it out in the online playground - https://elastic-builder.js.org/.
