solr-query

This project is an attempt at making Solr searches a little easier. I'm sure I'm not the only person that's struggled with trying to build a correct query string for Solr.

Notes

This is an in-progress project. For now, only Solr /search and /update is supported.

Installing

npm install solr-query

const Client = require( 'solr-query' );

const solrC = new Client();

solrC.search( searchQuery, searchOptions );

newRequest.save( obj )
.then( data => {
	console.log( "data:", data );
} ).catch( err => {
	console.log( "err:", err );
} );

Methods

Solr Configuration

When spawning a new Client object, you may pass in options to connect to your instance of Solr. The optional parameters are listed in the config folder.

.search( searchQuery, searchOptions )

searchQuery

This will accept a variety of options. It can be a string, an array, or an object. There are a combination of possibilities with Objects. If your search query is: q=Money AND (USD OR GBP), you can pass an object of:

searchQuery = {
    '$and' : [ 'Money', { '$or' : [ 'USD', 'GBP' ] } ]
}

searchOptions

options.logging( function ); ( You may pass in any function, or console.log to print to console.) This will output the request object that will be sent. It should allow you to see the URL, Method, and qs parameters.

options.commonParams This is where you would pass in any solr-specific query parameters that do not need formatted.

For example: ?qf=contents&limit=100 would be passed as

options.commonParams = {
    'qf'    : 'contents',
    'limit' : 100
};

Please note, if you pass a q parameter into this, it will override the searchQuery that is passed in.

.save( solrObj )

solrObj

This currently accepts a json object that will be entered verbatim into Solr.

solrObj = {
	"title" : "Kinda Cool",
	"uid"   : "b5546172-713a-44f8-9105-761158ca75d9"
}
