How to specify multiple host in elasticsearch npm package?

Question

I am using this npm package for elasticsearch -

"@elastic/elasticsearch": "^7.15.0".

I try to specify multiple hosts in the node part but its not working -

const {
   Client
} = require('@elastic/elasticsearch');
const client = new Client({
    node: [ 'http://localhost:9200','http://localhost:9201']
})```

With a single IP it works fine, but its not taking an array of ip addresses. I even tried the now deprecated elasticsearch package but to no avail. Can somebody please help?

According to the official documentation, you need to specify the nodes setting instead of node, like this:

const {
   Client
} = require('@elastic/elasticsearch');
const client = new Client({
    nodes: [ 'http://localhost:9200','http://localhost:9201']
})      ^
