Provides a Typesense Backend to Search API.
The current implementation allows for creating and managing a Typesense collection directly from the Drupal UI.
At the moment, the module doesn't support creating a search page using the Views module (like other Search API backends); this is by design, as implementing the search in the front end has many advantages, first of all, speed.
See how it works: here.
Getting started
- Download and install Typesense
- Install and enable the module
- Create a new Search API server using the Typesense server created in step 1
- Create a new Search API index using the Search API server created in step 3
- Add fields to the index created in step 4, including at least one numeric field that can be used for sorting
- Configure the Typesense collection's schema using the Schema tab at
/admin/config/search/search-api/index/${index_name}/schema. Indexing content will not be possible unless this step has been completed.
If you're on DDEV, you can use an add-on to download a run Typesense inside DDEV, just type:
ddev add-on get lussoluca/ddev-typesense
