[−][src]Crate meilisearch_sdk
MeiliSearch Rust is a client for MeiliSearch written in Rust. MeiliSearch is a powerful, fast, open-source, easy to use and deploy search engine. Both searching and indexing are highly customizable. Features such as typo-tolerance, filters, and synonyms are provided out-of-the-box.

🔧 Installation
This crate requires a MeiliSearch server to run. See here to install and run MeiliSearch.
Then, put meilisearch-sdk = "0.1"
in your Cargo.toml, as usual.
Using this crate is possible without serde, but a lot of features require serde.
Add serde = {version="1.0", features=["derive"]}
in your Cargo.toml.
🚀 Getting Started
Here is a quickstart for a search request (please follow the installation steps before)
use meilisearch_sdk::{document::*, indexes::*, client::*, search::*}; use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize}; #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)] struct Book { book_id: usize, title: String, } // That trait is required to make a struct usable by an index impl Document for Book { type UIDType = usize; fn get_uid(&self) -> &Self::UIDType { &self.book_id } } // Create a client (without sending any request so that can't fail) let client = Client::new("http://localhost:7700", ""); // Get the index called "books" let mut books = client.get_or_create("books").unwrap(); // Add some books in the index books.add_documents(vec![ Book{book_id: 123, title: String::from("Pride and Prejudice")}, Book{book_id: 456, title: String::from("Le Petit Prince")}, Book{book_id: 1, title: String::from("Alice In Wonderland")}, Book{book_id: 1344, title: String::from("The Hobbit")}, Book{book_id: 4, title: String::from("Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince")}, Book{book_id: 42, title: String::from("The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy")}, ], Some("book_id")).unwrap(); // Query books (note that there is a typo) let query = Query::new("harry pottre"); println!("{:?}", books.search::<Book>(&query).unwrap().hits);
Output:
[Book { book_id: 4, title: "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" }]
🌐 Running in the browser with WASM
This crate fully supports WASM. However, there are some syntax differences between a native and a WASM program using meilisearch-sdk
.
That means that you can't use the exact same code for native and web programs but it is very similar.
Only some .await
are to be added on a native program to make a working Wasm program. (Because all meilisearch-sdk
's methods are async
on Wasm and sync
on native target (but async
is planned for native too))
However, making a program intended to run in a web browser requires a very different design than a CLI program. To see an example of a simple Rust web app using meilisearch, see tutorial todo here.
WARNING: meilisearch-sdk
will panic if no Window is available (ex: Web extension).
🤖 Compatibility with MeiliSearch
This crate is currently supporting MeiliSearch v11.0 and will be maintained.
Running the tests
All the tests are documentation tests.
Since they are all making operations on the MeiliSearch server, running all the tests simultaneously would cause panics.
To run the tests one by one, run cargo test -- --test-threads=1
