Meilisearch Server Side

From v1.4.0 and above, you access to Meilisearch with $meilisearch(event)

✅ $meilisearch(event)

Due about a change build process frm nitro, we need to pass the event to the function.

Configuration

You can to manage documents, indexes or preferences from Nuxt server side. To do so, first enable it

meilisearch: {
  ...
  serverSideUsage: true, // default false
  adminApiKey: '<your_secret_key>',
  ...
}

Usage

Now you can use the $meilisearch(event) instance from your server side code.

Full exemple:

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {

  // read from body
  const body = await readBody(event)

  // Meiliseach is available with $meilisearch
  const meilisearchResponse = $meilisearch(event).index('books').addDocuments(body)

  return meilisearchResponse

})

Typescript
