Indexers

Indexers are objects that have collect and index methods that will be executed when collect or index are called on app.search.

The indexer objects may be plain objects or instances created with those methods. See the examples to see what indexers may look like.

Simple object to be used in examples below.

var indexer = {};

.collect

The collect method on an indexer will be passed a file object and a next callback. The collect method should create an object to pass back to next that will be added to the .files collection on the search instance.

If file is a view from [assemble][], we can collect information about the file that we want to index:

indexer.collect = function(file, next) {
  var obj = {
    key: file.key,
    title: file.data.title,
    category: file.data.category,
    url: file.data.url,
    body: file.content
  };
  // return the object
  next(null, obj);
};

.index

The index method on an indexer will be passed a files object containing all fo the collected files, an options object which is the same as the options passed into the search.index method, and a callback function to call when indexing is complete. The callback function is the same as the one passed into the search.index method so users may choose to return additional information if necessary.

indexer.index = function(files, options, cb) {
  for (var key in files) {
    if (files.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      console.log(key);
      console.log(files[key]);
      console.log();
    }
  }
  cb();
};
