Hello! From the log it seems that you are using the client from the browser, am I right?
In such case, there is no official support for the browser since expose your Elasticsearch instance to the rest of the world will cause you security issues eventually.
I recommend you to write a lightweight proxy that uses this client instead.

so does it mean it won't work with Angular app?

[delvedor]

@alishah730 correct. The client is not intended to be used in a browser environment, and we highly discourage you to connect to Elasticsearch directly form the browser, see https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-js/issues/1066.
