This plugin will automatically synchronise your Schemas with aa MeiliSearch index every time a new document is added, updated or removed.

You can also index the entire collection if you're just starting to use the plugin.

Install using npm:

npm install mongomeili

Or with yarn:

yarn add mongomeili

With MongoMeili you can specify which which fields of your schema you'd like to index by adding a meiliIndex = true property to your schema as shown below:

// ES6
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import mongomeili from 'mongomeili';

// ES5
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mongomeili = require('mongomeili');

// Add the '{ meiliIndex: true }' property to index these attributes with MeiliSearch
const MovieSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: { type: String, required: true, meiliIndex: true },
  director: { type: String, required: true, meiliIndex: true },
  year: { type: String, required: true, meiliIndex: true }
});

// Specify your MeiliSearch credentials
MovieSchema.plugin(mongomeili, {
  host: 'https://...'
  apiKey: '...',
  indexName: '...' // Will get created automatically if it doesn't exist already
})

After applying the mongomeili plugin to your mongoose schema you will have access to the following methods:

Index the whole collection into your MeiliSearch index.

Clears your MeiliSearch Index and sets _meiliIndex = false on the collection

Set one or more settings of the MeiliSearch index, the full settings list is available here.

Search your MeiliSearch index for a specific query. You can customize the search parameters and populate information not indexed from the mongoDB collection as well.

You can find the full list of search parameters here.

The response will look like this:

{
  "hits": [
    {
      "_id": "5f86a08c27772b15560ff4af",
      "title": "Fast and Furious",
      "director": "Rob Cohen",
      "year": "2001"
    }
  ],
  "offset": 0,
  "limit": 20,
  "nbHits": 1,
  "exhaustiveNbHits": false,
  "processingTimeMs": 0,
  "query": "furious"
