Usage

The first thing to do is to create a SearchIndexClient. You typically create one client for your application.

Here’s a complete example of creating a client, creating an index, adding documents, executing a search…etc.

require 'azure_search'
include AzureSearch
client = SearchIndexClient.new("service-name", "index-name", "generated-api-key")
# Delete the index if it exists (Only for testing purposes)
client.delete unless !client.exists
# Index definition
index_def = {
  :name => "carshop",
  :fields => [
    IndexField.new("id", "Edm.String").searchable(true).key(true),
    IndexField.new("year", "Edm.String").searchable(true).retrievable(true),
    IndexField.new("make", "Edm.String").searchable(true).retrievable(true),
    IndexField.new("trim", "Edm.String").searchable(true).retrievable(true)
  ]
}
# Create the index with supplied index definition
client.create(index_def)
# Perform a batch insert of documents
ops = [
  IndexBatchOperation.upload({"id"=>1, "year"=>"2017", "make"=>"Audi", "model"=>"A3", "trim"=>"1.8 TFSI Premium 2dr Sedan"}),
  IndexBatchOperation.upload({"id"=>2, "year"=>"2017", "make"=>"Audi", "model"=>"A3", "trim"=>"2.0 TDI Premium 4dr Sedan"}),
  IndexBatchOperation.upload({"id"=>3, "year"=>"2016", "make"=>"Audi", "model"=>"A4", "trim"=>"2.0 TDI Premium 4dr Sedan"}),
  IndexBatchOperation.upload({"id"=>4, "year"=>"2016", "make"=>"Bentley", "model"=>"Mulsanne", "trim"=>"4dr Sedan"}),
  IndexBatchOperation.upload({"id"=>5, "year"=>"2016", "make"=>"Dodge", "model"=>"Dart", "trim"=>"Aero 4dr Sedan"})
]
client.batch_insert(ops, chunk_size=3)
# Perform a simple search for cars that are not of Audi make.
search_opts = IndexSearchOptions.new
                                .include_count(true)
                                .search_mode("all")
                                .search_fields("make,trim")
response = client.search("-audi", search_opts)
puts response
# Lookup the document with ID "1"
document = client.lookup("1")
puts document
