Search Engine Extension - (Support Typesense)

[indigo kite]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/directus-extension-search-engine
Hi all !
I am developing an extension that supports search index with Typesense.
With the default API, the search API requests always take me a lot of time to write code on the backend.
Therefore, I developed this extension with the aim of optimizing development time when there are requests for search API, always ensuring the factors of: ** fast query speed** - **easy operation on the admin panel **- no need to write additional code in the backend source (with specific requests).
I hope everyone will use this extension and give more feedback

Wow, great addition to the directus ecosystem. Would you consider meilisearch as engine type in the future? Among the self-hosted solutions, it might be the first choice these days, especially if one needs semantic search too.

[indigo kite]

yeah, i will prioritize developing "meilisearch" first.

[neon coral]

Oh, great! Do I understand correctly, that beside updating search indexes with flows or your custom routines, you actually offer custom endpoints on directus that wrap the native apis of the search solutions so we most probably would not need to expose the search instance to the public?

[indigo kite]

That's correct, you are understanding it right.
Currently these endpoints can only "search". It has no permission constraints.

hello i wanted to test your extension on my application and with the extension installed when i start the app it made this error: Assertion failed: (key <= detail::IsolateSpecificSize), function Deref, file environment.h, line 360.
[1] 8692 abort

i am on a mac m3 and it does not have to be with known javascript error so i don't know what is causing this probleme

[indigo kite]

this is a problem with the "isolated-vm" library
you need to look at the "requirements" of this library, it might be fixed
