ElasticSearch Nest Create Fields Object

Question

Looking at the docs we should be able to create a new source filter like so

new SearchRequest<Project>
{
    Source = new SourceFilter
    {
        Include = Fields<Project>(p => p.Name, prop => prop.StartedOn)
    }
}

The issue I'm facing is that Fields isn't typed and doesn't have a constructor.

How do I go about making a Fields for use in sourceFilters, queries etc?

You can find Fields<> method in class Infer, so change example code to

new SearchRequest<Project>
{
    Source = new SourceFilter
    {
        Include = Infer.Fields<Project>(p => p.Name, prop => prop.StartedOn)
    }
}

Also you can import this static class in your cs file with using static Nest.Infer;, so you will be able to use this example as it is.

Hope it helps.
