NAME

Search::Typesense - Perl interface to Typesense search engine.

SYNOPSIS

    my $typesense = Search::Typesense->new(
        use_https => $bool,
        host      => $host,
        port      => $port,
        api_key   => $key,
    );
    
    my $results = $typesense->search(
        $collection_name,
        { q => 'Search String' },
    );
    if ( $results->{found} ) {
        foreach my $hit ( @{ $results->{hits} } ) {
            ...;
        }
    }

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple interface to the Typesense search engine. Most methods will do one of three things:

  • Return results as defined in the Typesense documentation (listed per section)

  • Return nothing if Typesense returns a 404.

  • croak if Typesense returns an error.

VERSION

Version 0.02

CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes a list (or hashref) of key/value pairs.

    my $typesense = Search::Typesense->new(
        use_https => $bool,
        host      => $host,
        port      => $port,
        api_key   => $key,
    );

api_key

The api key to which will be sent as the X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY header.

host

The hostname to connect to.

port

Optional port number to connect to. Defaults to 8108 if not supplied.

use_https

Optional boolean. Whether or not to connect to Typesense over https. Default true.

METHODS

assert_is_running

    $typesense->assert_is_running;

This does nothing if we can connect to Typesense. Otherwise, this method will croak with a message explaining the error.

get_collections

    if ( my $collections = $typesense->get_collections ) {
        # returns all collections
    }
    if ( my $collections = $typesense->get_collections($collection_name) ) {
        # returns collection matching $collection_name, if any
    }

Response shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#retrieve-collection

delete_collection

    my $response = $typesense->delete_collection($collection_name);

Response shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#drop-collection

create_collection

    my $collection = $typesense->create_collection(\%definition);

Arguments and response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#create-collection

create_document

    my $document = $typesense->create_document($collection, \%data);

Arguments and response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#index-document

upsert_document

    my $document = $typesense->upsert_document($collection, \%data);

Arguments and response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#upsert

update_document

    my $document = $typesense->update_document($collection, $document_id, \%data);

Arguments and response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#update-document

delete_document

    my $document = $typesense->delete_document($collection_name, $document_id);

Arguments and response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#delete-document

    my $results = $typesense->search($collection_name, {q => 'London'});

The parameters for $query are defined at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#search-collection, as are the results.

Unlike other methods, if we find nothing, we still return the data structure (instead of undef instead of a 404 exception).

export_documents

    my $export = $typesense->export_documents($collection_name);

Response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#export-documents

(An arrayref of hashrefs)

import_documents

    my $response = $typesense->import_documents(
      $collection_name,
      $action,
      \@documents,
   );

Response as shown at https://typesense.org/docs/0.19.0/api/#import-documents

$action must be one of create, update, or upsert.

delete_all_collections

    $typesense->delete_all_collections;

Deletes everything from Typsense. Use with caution!
