💡
Getting Started
First, install Algolia JavaScript API Client via the npm package manager:
npm install algoliasearch
Then, create objects on your index:
const algoliasearch = require("algoliasearch");
const client = algoliasearch("YourApplicationID", "YourAdminAPIKey");
const index = client.initIndex("your_index_name");
const objects = [
{
objectID: 1,
name: "Foo"
}
];
index
.saveObjects(objects)
.then(({ objectIDs }) => {
console.log(objectIDs);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
Finally, let's actually search using the search method:
index
.search("Fo")
.then(({ hits }) => {
console.log(hits);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
