NEST-MEILISEARCH
Nest-meilisearch is a simple nestjs wrapper around the meilisearch-js library.
Installation
This plugin requires you to install the meilisearch
package to work
Installation with npm
npm i nest-meilisearch meilisearch
Installation with yarn
yarn add nest-meilisearch meilisearch
Getting Started
Start by importing the MeiliSearchModule
global module in your AppModule
. Then configure your meilisearch client using the forRoot
.
import { MeiliSearchModule } from "nest-meilisearch";
@Module({
imports: [
MeiliSearchModule.forRoot({
host: "http://127.0.0.1:7700", // your meilisearch client server url
apiKey: "MASTER_KEY", // your server api key
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
You can also set up basic indices / indexes when configuring your meilisearch client
import { MeiliSearchModule } from "nest-meilisearch";
@Module({
imports: [
MeiliSearchModule.forRoot({
host: "http://127.0.0.1:7700", // your meilisearch client server url
apiKey: "MASTER_KEY", // your server api key
indices: ['movies','products'],
// or pass option for your indices like this
indices: [{ uid: "movies", options: { primaryKey: 'id' } }],
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
Your indices would be created once your app is loaded and you can start using them right away.
Usage
Simply Inject the MeiliSearchService
into your app and start using it. It extends all the methods provided by the meilisearch-js library.
import { Inject, Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";
import { MeiliSearch } from "meilisearch";
import { MeiliSearchService } from "nest-meilisearch";
@Injectable()
export class AppService {
constructor(
@Inject(MeiliSearchService) private readonly meiliSearch: MeiliSearch
) {}
async searchMovies(query: string) {
const moviesIndex = this.meiliSearch.index("movies");
return await moviesIndex.search(query);
}
}
