Modifying Arrays in Typesense Documents

Hi guys! I have these list-documents that hold references to other entities in an array. Changes to these lists (adding and removing ids) come in events, on per change. Is there any API in Typesense to make that kind of changes to a document? What I’m looking for is “add id X to document.entities if it does not already exist” and “remove id X from document.entities if it exists”.

I’ve been looking through the docs but haven’t found anything, so I’m guessing it’s not supported. My idea to solve it is to create a separate collection and store each entry as it’s own document with {listId: 'YYY', itemId: 'XXX'}. It feels expensive, but I see no other way.

👋 we don't have a way to do add/remove elements from an array that way. Separate collection is not a bad idea because due to the use of inverted index the in memory representation would be about the same.

Ah, great! Thanks for the quick reply Kishore Nallan!
