ipfsearch-index v2.5.5
ipfsearch-index generates index and inverted index for use by ipfsearch-webapp.
Usage
import * as ipfsearch from "ipfsearch-indexlib"
let indexer = new ipfsearch.Indexer()
indexer.addToIndex(new ipfsearch.Document("Python","A great, nice programming language. Super user-friendly."))
indexer.addToIndex(new ipfsearch.Document("Javascript","A language that was hacked together in 14 days and ECMA is trying to make it better. Still feels hacked together tho"))
//add more docs...
indexer.persist("assets/sortedindex.inx", "assets/index.inx","authors name","index name")
Building
Clone this repo and run:
$ npm install
$ node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p tsconfig.json
Test index
The meta.json for the files has been generated and saved to ipfs at QmUFVKRPGsGUziEydsic91GfuDzJTjXdoxSiv9dHjutv1g. It references another ipfs directory that contains the generated invinx and inx.
Result page
You can include a "result page" in your index that will be sent raw results. You can use it to format the result or add sorting.
Result page iframe API
The result page will get the results via cross-document messaging.
The message passed is a Javascript object: {"type": "results", "results": Document[]}
.
Document is an object, fetched from inx. It has to contain id, text and possibly more attributes. You will find what you have put into the index there.
