Base plugin that adds methods for creating, updating and using search indices.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save base-searchvar search = require('base-search');Plugin for base applications like generate, assemble, verb, and update to add an instance of sarge as app.search that has methods for creating search indices using indexers.
Params
config{Object}: Configuration object used to specify default indexer to use.returns{Function}: Plugin function passed toapp.usemethods.
Example
var app = assemble();
app.use(search());
console.log(app.search);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 = {};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);
};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();
