Ramees On a side note, may I know what gave you the impression that Typesense doesn't have a Node.js library?

We do have a JS library that works both in a browser and in Node, so I'm wondering if something in the docs is confusing.

oh, sorry I am not aware that I can use JS library on NodeJS. I am a newbie.
