Hey all, working with the new Typesense 0.23.0 and...

Hey all, working with the new Typesense 0.23.0 and typesense algolia migration for the first time in general. Is there any specific documentation on how to handle sorting, since we don’t need to use index replicas for those?
j
Here's how to sort in Typesense: https://typesense.org/docs/0.23.0/api/documents.html#sort-results You can use a single index to sort on multiple fields
m
Yes that we have @Jason Bosco, but mainly wondering on how to implement on the Front-end
j
If you're using instantsearch, here's how to use it with the Typesense instantsearch adapter: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-adapter#sortby

Seems like that is with a widget, we’re not using any widgets 😅 only the instantsearch_client. Heh
j
Could you share your current sorting client-side code with Algolia?
m
Sure I can DM
j
Did you mean Algolia client btw or instantsearch client? Because instantsearch only has the concept of widgets, either built-in ones or custom ones you build
Looks like you are using Algolia client. The Typesense-instantsearch-adapter is only meant to be used with instantsearch. So in your case you would have to use typesense-js directly to make API calls to Typesense

That's right
@michtio After you pointed this out, I looked at the source code for instantsearch, and it looks like instantsearch does use the algoliasearch-helper library under the hood. So I suspect it might be possible to get it to work with the typesense-instantsearch-adapter with some tweaks. Did you run into any particular issues with the code snippet you shared? We can try debugging from there

Hey @Jason Bosco after playing around with the sort doesn’t work with the helper library ( at least not how it is intended to be used with Typesense ) when parsing/adding the object that contains the search, it does nothing. On that note I also found a (possible) bug, using 
filter_by:>2
did return all the results higher than 2, but also higher than 
-2
( so we had a 
-3
int value in the results )
j
@michtio The adapter does handle sorting transformations: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-adapter#sortby re: bug, could you open a Github issue with a reproducible code snippet with a few sample docs, along with the Typesense version?
