A quick showcase of how Algolia can be integrated with JavaScript. Just in a nutshell, we won’t go in depth.

What is Algolia?

Algolia is an American proprietary search-as-a-service platform. Its main product is a web search platform for individual websites.

Integrating algolia with JavaScript

Install algoliasearch

install algoliasearch

      npm i algoliasearch
    

Indexing Records 

Data Indexing

        const algoliasearch = require("algoliasearch");  

  const appId = "...";
  const apiKey = "...";
  const indexName = "...";
  const uniqueId  = ".,.";
  const client = algoliasearch(appId, apiKey);
  const index = client.initIndex(indexName);

  // unique objectID can allow you to update object at any later point of time 
  data.objectID = uniqueId;

  index.saveObjects([data]);
    

Searching 

Searching

        const algoliasearch = require("algoliasearch");  

  const appId = "...";
  const apiKey = "...";
  const indexName = "...";

  const client = algoliasearch(appId, apiKey);
  const index = client.initIndex(indexName);
  
  const query = "dasbyte";

  index
  .search(query, {
    // it is optional
    attributesToRetrieve: ["attrA", "attrB"],
  })
  .then(({ hits }) => {
    console.log(hits);
  });
