MilvusClient()
This class serves as an initializer for a Milvus client instance. Upon successful connection to the Milvus instance, the client can execute various operations.
Example
import { MilvusClient } from "@zilliz/milvus2-sdk-node";
const milvusClient = new MilvusClient({
  address: "192.168.0.1:19530",
  ssl: false, // deprecated on `node sdk v2.2.12`+
  username: "optional",
  password: "optional",
});
Now you can use all methods of the client, like client.createCollection, client.createIndex, client.loadCollection, client.search to communicate with the Milvus server.
Parameters
| Parameters | Description | Type | Example | 
|---|---|---|---|
| address | The Milvus IP address | String | ‘192.168.0.1:19530’ | 
| ssl? | SSL connection. It is false by default, if you are using Zilliz Cloud, set it to true. | Boolean | false | 
| username? | The username used to connect to Milvus | String | milvus | 
| address? | The password used to connect to Milvus | String | milvus | 
| maxRetries? | The number of retries for the grpc method, by default: 3 | Number | 3 | 
| retryDelay? | The delay between attempts at retrying a failed grpc method in ms, by default: 30 | Number | 30 | 
| channelOptions? | an optional configuration object that can be passed to a gRPC client when creating a channel to connect to a gRPC server | Object | |
| tls? | TLS configuration | Object | 
TLS config object
| Parameters | Description | Type | Example | 
|---|---|---|---|
| rootCertPath | The file path to the root certificate used for TLS/SSL connection | String | ‘/path/to/my/cert’ | 
| privateKeyPath? | The file path to the private key used for SSL connection | Boolean | ‘/path/to/my/private_key’ | 
| certChainPath? | The file path to the certificate chain used for TLS/SSL connection | String | ‘/path/to/my/cert/chain’ | 
| verifyOptions? | Options for certificate verification during TLS/SSL connection (e.g., ‘verify_peer’) | String | |
| serverName? | The server name used for certificate verification during TLS/SSL connection | String |
