Hey all, I'm trying to create a collection in typesense cloud with firebase extension. Just wanted to know are objects not supported?

calories = {

  

calories: 200,

  

protein: 30,

  

carbs: 10

}

Request failed with HTTP code 400 | Server said: Type of field `calories` is invalid.

Yes, Typesense does not support indexing nested objects yet.

Yeah, I've seen once it's flattened it works.

We've a feature request open for it here (https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/227). It's a bit of an involved change, but we certainly think it is a good feature to support in future.

Thanks for that! Just a quick one, so let's say I want to implement tags for searching. Would I have to do it like this:

isVegan: true

instead of obviously storing in array.

Array of strings is fine. What we don't support is a dictionary. So you can't index a dictionary like

person: {name: "foo", age: 20}

-- instead you need to have 2 fields "person.name" and "person.age" separately.
