putMapping elasticsearch index not found exception

I am just trying to create an index using putMapping and am fairly certain this is a syntax issue. The elastic client is working for .index and .search commands, so I do not believe the setup of it is the issue. Rather it is something with my putmapping code. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. A little description of what I am trying to do. I have searched an index, and found that it does not exist. I catch the error and test to see if it equals "index_not_found_exception". If so, I need to create the index. Everything below the "..." is inside the .catch.

"use strict";
let config = require("./config"),
    soap = require("soap"),
    elastic = require("elasticsearch").Client(config.routeHost);
...
 if (error.body.error.type == "index_not_found_exception") {
        console.log("no index");
        elastic.indices.putMapping({
            index: "ppvevents",
            type: "ppvObject",
            body: {
                properties: {
                    name: {type: "string", index: "not_analyzed"},
                    hdid: {type: "integer"},
                    sdid: {type: "integer"}
                }
            }
        }).then(function(response){
            console.log("Response: ", response);
        }).catch(function(error){
            console.log("putMapping Error: ", error);
        });
    } else if(error.body.error.type != "index_not_found_exception") {
        console.log("error: elasticsearch client search");
        console.log(error);
    }

The console response is below:

vagrant at localhost in /vagrant on master!
± node index.js

This answer is applicable to ElasticSearch 7.14. So, in order to create an index and also add an explicit mapping, you would need to invoke:

PUT http://localhost:9200/employee

with body:

{
    "settings": {},
    "mappings": {
        "properties": {
            "id": {
                "type": "integer"
            },
            "name": {
                "type": "text"
            },
            "age": {
                "type": "integer"
            },
            "role": {
                "type": "keyword"
            }
        }
    },
    "aliases": {} }

Here, I have created an empty index named employee with the given mappings. The same can be achieved through elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client v7.14 with the below code:

import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexResponse;

CreateIndexRequest cir = new CreateIndexRequest("employee");
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>();
properties.put("properties", fieldMap);//fieldMap is another map containing the value for the `properties` key of the request body
cir.mapping(properties);
CreateIndexResponse cirs = esClient.indices().create(cir,RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

new version of elasticsearch.js already removed the elastic.indices.createIndex, you need to use client.indices.create

If the index does not exist, putMapping() won't help, you need to call indices.create instead. putMapping can only be used to add a new mapping type to an already existing index.

Replace your putMapping call with this:

    elastic.indices.createIndex({
        index: "ppvevents",
        body: {
            mappings: {
               ppvObject: {
                  properties: {
                     name: {type: "string", index: "not_analyzed"},
                     hdid: {type: "integer"},
                     sdid: {type: "integer"}
                  }
               }
            }
        }
