Search

Name: CanxJS
Author: CanxJS Team

A powerful abstraction for search engines. Start with simple Database search and scale to Algolia or Elasticsearch later.

Unified Search

Standard interface for Database, Algolia, or Elasticsearch.

Database Driver

Built-in SQL support via LIKE queries.

Driver Agnostic

Swap search engines without changing application code.

Extensible

Easily add support for vector DBs or other engines.

Usage

search.service.ts

1import { searchManager } from "canxjs/search";
2
3// 1. Search using default driver (database)
4const results = await searchManager.driver().search("products", "Laptop");
5
6// 2. Specific driver (e.g., Algolia or Elasticsearch if configured)
7const results = await searchManager.driver("algolia").search("users", "John");
8
9// 3. Register custom driver
10searchManager.register("algolia", new AlgoliaDriver());

Custom Driver

CustomSearchDriver.ts

1import { SearchDriver } from "canxjs/search";
2
3export class CustomSearchDriver implements SearchDriver {
4  async search(index: string, query: string, options?: any) {
5    // Perform search
6    return [{ id: 1, title: "Result" }];
7  }
8  
9  async index(item: any) {
10    // Index item
11  }
12  
13  async delete(id: string) {
14    // Remove from index
15  }
16}
