mongoolia-v5 v1.0.2

mongoolia-v5

Keep your mongoosejs schemas synced with Algolia

This plugin will automatically synchronise your models with an Algolia index every time a new document is added, updated or removed.

You can also index your whole collection if you didn't use this plugin when you started using mongoose.

How to

Only supports mongoose v5

First install the library:

• > yarn add mongoolia-v5 OR
• > npm add mongoolia-v5 -S

Then you need to specify which fields of your schema you want to index with Algolia and register the plugin to your mongoose model created with this schema:

// ES6
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import mongoolia from 'mongoolia-v5';

// ES5
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mongoolia = require('mongoolia-v5').default;

// Pass `{algoliaIndex: true}` to push theses attributes for indexing to Algolia
const BookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: { type: String, required: true, algoliaIndex: true },
  author: { type: String, required: true, algoliaIndex: true },
  description: { type: String, required: true, algoliaIndex: true }
});

// Specify your Algolia credentials which you can find into your dashboard
BookSchema.plugin(mongoolia, {
  appId: 'xxxxx'
  apiKey: 'xxxx',
  indexName: 'xxxx',
  fieldName: 'xxxx' // Optional, Default: "_algoliaObjectID"
})

Model.clearAlgoliaIndex(): Promise

Clears your Algolia index and remove fieldName from your documents.

Model.setAlgoliaIndexSettings(settings: {}, forwardToReplicas: boolean): Promise

Model.algoliaSearch({ query: string, params?: {}, populate?: boolean }): Promise

Search into your Algolia index for a specific query. You can customize the search parameters as well.
