JavaScript + Algolia

Get started

First, install Algolia JavaScript API Client via the npm package manager: (if needed, get a free account here)

1npm install algoliasearch

Then, create objects on your index:

1const algoliasearch = require("algoliasearch");
2
3const client = algoliasearch("YourApplicationID", "YourAdminAPIKey");
4const index = client.initIndex("your_index_name");
5​
6const objects = [
7  {
8    objectID: 1,
9    name: "Foo"
10  }
11];
12​
13index
14  .saveObjects(objects)
15  .then(({ objectIDs }) => {
16    console.log(objectIDs);
17  })
18  .catch(err => {
19    console.log(err);
20  });

Finally, let's actually search using the search method:

1index
2  .search("Fo")
3  .then(({ hits }) => {
4    console.log(hits);
5  })
6  .catch(err => {
7    console.log(err);
8  });
