Typesense client for Elixir with support for your Ecto schemas.

> **Note**: Breaking changes if you're upgrading from `0.3.x` to `0.5.x` version and above.

## Todo

- creating collection using auto schema detection
- implement geosearch
- implement curation
- implement synonyms

## Installation

ExTypesense requires Elixir `~> 1.14.x`. Read the [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for all available releases and requirements. This library is published to both [Hex.pm](https://hex.pm/ex_typesense) and [GitHub ](https://github.com/jaeyson/ex_typesense.git) repository.

Add `:ex_typesense` to your list of dependencies in the Elixir project config file, `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    # From default Hex package manager
    {:ex_typesense, "~> 0.6"}

    # Or from GitHub repository, if you want to latest greatest from main branch
    {:ex_typesense, git: "https://github.com/jaeyson/ex_typesense.git"}
  ]
end
```

## Getting started

### 0. Run local Typesense instance

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

More info on spinning a local instance: https://typesense.org/docs/guide/install-typesense.html

### 1. Add credential to config

After you have setup a [local](./guides/running_local_typesense.md) Typesense or [Cloud hosted](https://cloud.typesense.org) instance, there are 2 ways to set the credentials:

#### Option 1: Set credentials via config (e.g. `config/runtime.exs`)

You can set the following config details to the config file:

```elixir
if config_env() == :prod do # if you'll use this in prod environment
  config :ex_typesense,
    api_key: "xyz",
    host: "localhost",
    port: 8108,
    scheme: "http"
  ...
```

> **Note**: If you use this for adding test in your app, you might want to add this in `config/test.exs`:

For Cloud hosted, you can generate and obtain the credentials from cluster instance admin interface:

```elixir
config :ex_typesense,
  api_key: "credential", # Admin API key
  host: "111222333aaabbbcc-9.x9.typesense.net" # Nodes
  port: 443,
  scheme: "https"
```

#### Option 2: Set credentials from a map

> By default you don't need to pass connections every
> time you use a function, if you use "Option 1" above.

You may have a `Connection` Ecto schema in your app and want to pass your own creds dynamically:

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Credential do
  schema "credentials" do
    field :node, :string
    field :secret_key, :string
    field :port, :integer
  end
end
```

As long as the keys matches in `ExTypesense.Connection.t()`:

```elixir
credential = MyApp.Credential |> where(id: ^8888) |> Repo.one()

conn = %{
  host: credential.node,
  api_key: credential.secret_key,
  port: credential.port,
  scheme: "https"
}

# NOTE: create a collection and import documents
# first before using the command below
ExTypesense.search(conn, collection_name, query)
```

Or convert your struct to map, as long as the keys matches in `ExTypesense.Connection.t()`:

```elixir
conn = Map.from_struct(MyApp.Credential)

# NOTE: create a collection and import documents
# first before using the command below
ExTypesense.search(conn, collection_name, query)
```

Or you don't want to change the fields in your Ecto schema, thus you convert it to map:

```elixir
conn = %Credential{
  node: "localhost",
  secret_key: "xyz",
  port: 8108,
  scheme: "http"
}

conn =
  conn
  |> Map.from_struct()
  |> Map.drop([:node, :secret_key])
  |> Map.put(:host, conn.node)
  |> Map.put(:api_key, conn.secret_key)

# NOTE: create a collection and import documents
# first before using the command below
ExTypesense.search(conn, collection_name, query)
```

### 2. Create a collection

There are 2 ways to create a collection, either via [Ecto schema](https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.Schema.html) or using map ([an Elixir data type](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/keywords-and-maps.html#maps-as-key-value-pairs)):

#### Option 1: using Ecto

In this example, we're adding `persons_id` that points to the id of `persons` schema.

> **Note**: we're using `<TABLE_NAME>_id`. If you have table
> e.g. named `persons`, it'll be `persons_id`.

```elixir
defmodule Person do
  use Ecto.Schema
  @behaviour ExTypesense

  defimpl Jason.Encoder, for: __MODULE__ do
    def encode(value, opts) do
      value
      |> Map.take([:id, :persons_id, :name, :country])
      |> Enum.map(fn {key, val} ->
        cond do
          key === :id -> {key, to_string(Map.get(value, :id))}
          key === :persons_id -> {key, Map.get(value, :id)}
          true -> {key, val}
        end
      end)
      |> Enum.into(%{})
      |> Jason.Encode.map(opts)
    end
  end

  schema "persons" do
    field(:name, :string)
    field(:country, :string)
    field(:persons_id, :integer, virtual: true)
  end

  @impl ExTypesense
  def get_field_types do
    primary_field = __MODULE__.__schema__(:source) <> "_id"

    %{
      # Or might as well just write persons_id instead. Up to you.
      default_sorting_field: primary_field,
      fields: [
        %{name: primary_field, type: "int32"},
        %{name: "name", type: "string"},
        %{name: "country", type: "string"}
      ]
    }
  end
end
```

Next, create the collection from a module name.

```elixir
ExTypesense.create_collection(Person)
```

#### Option 2: using map

```elixir
schema = %{
  name: "companies",
  fields: [
    %{name: "company_name", type: "string"},
    %{name: "companies_id", type: "int32"},
    %{name: "country", type: "string"}
  ],
  default_sorting_field: "companies_id"
}

ExTypesense.create_collection(schema)
```

### 3. Indexing documents

For multiple documents:

```elixir
Post |> Repo.all() |> ExTypesense.index_multiple_documents()
```

For single document:

```elixir
Post |> Repo.get!(123) |> ExTypesense.create_document()
```

### 4. Search

```elixir
params = %{q: "John Doe", query_by: "name"}

ExTypesense.search(schema.name, params)
ExTypesense.search(Person, params)
```
