Javascript client library for accessing the Typesense HTTP API. Follows the API spec here.
This library can be used both on the server-side and on the client-side. The library's source is in ES6 and during build time, we transpile it to ES5 and generate two artifacts - one that can be used on the server-side and another that uses Browserify and can be used on the client side.
npm install --save typesenseInstall peer dependencies:
npm install --save @babel/runtime<script src="dist/typesense.min.js"></script>Read the documentation here: https://typesense.org/api/
Tests are also a good place to know how the library works internally: test
Note: When using this library in a browser, please be sure to use an API Key that only allows search operations instead of the master API key. See doc/examples/server/keys.js for an example of how to generate a search only API key.
Here are some examples with inline comments that walk you through how to use the client: doc/examples
To run the examples, from the repo root:
npm run typesenseServer
node doc/examples/server/bulkImport.jsIf you use GatsbyJS for a framework, we have a plugin (that uses typesense-js behind the scenes) to automatically push your site data to Typesense when you build your site. Learn more here.
