Hello :) Version 2.1.0 of the JS SDK introduced a new

Infix

parameter to the

MultiSearchResponse

object. Is there any documentation about what to provide to this parameter? The version introduced quite a few changes to the types but no migration was documented. Great to see types improving, but not super nice to introduce breaking changes without proper doc 😛

The

MultiSearchResponse

type isn't meant to be explicitly defined by the user. It also provides a default generic of

string

, which passes the type check. It's meant for comma-separated strings

I use

MultiSearchResponse

as parameter to a function that transform the search results to the datatype needed in the app, hence why I use it. The TypeSense schema does not exactly match what is used in the app ; the schema was adapted to take the most of TypeSense. Would there be a more fitting type?

Which version of the js library are you on? You can see this using

npm list

2.1.0

Sorry, use

npm install typesense@next

Okay, so 3.0.0-0, correct?

I think a better approach to this would be to use the return type of the function call itself. It will have all the info regarding the response without needed to fill up the generics

I built this type:

export type MultisearchSchemas = [
    CompanyDocumentSchema,
    ProjectDocumentSchema,
    ReportDocumentSchema,
    RequestDocumentSchema,
    TranscriptDocumentSchema,
  ];  

export type MultiSearchResponse = Awaited<
    ReturnType<
      typeof TypeSenseMultiSearch.prototype.perform<Typesense.MultisearchSchemas>
    >
  >;

If you invoke the mutlisearch function, based on the argument passed in, the response type will be different. If you then use

typeof

on the object built by the function call, you can then use that

Thanks for the help Fanis ! 🙂
