REST API, Elasticsearch and Ember.js

I'm devellopping a web application with an Ember.js application and a RESTapi built with laravel.

I would like to use Elasticsearch to search data with location, date & match filter. For now I send my request to Elasticsearch from Ember.

It's seem to work, but I'm not sure it the most efficient / common way to do that.

have you any advice on things that I should do or read ?
