How to do it...

We can rewrite the mapping code found in the previous example recipe using an array of items:

PUT test/_doc/_mapping
{
    "properties" : {
      "id" : {"type" : "keyword"},
      "date" : {"type" : "date"},
      "customer_id" : {"type" : "keyword", "store" : "yes"},
      "sent" : {"type" : "boolean"},
      "item" : {
        "type" : "object",
        "properties" : {
          "name" : {"type" : "text"},
          "quantity" : {"type" : "integer"},
          "price" : {"type" : "double"},
          "vat" : {"type" : "double"}
          }
        }
     }
}
