README
This module provides the ability to index content for a Silverstripe Search engine through the 🌈 Bifröst - the API for Silverstripe's Search service.
This module does not provide any method for performing searches on your engines. See the Searching section below for some suggestions.
Installation
composer require silverstripe/silverstripe-forager-bifrost
Activating the service
To integrate with Silverstripe Search, define environment variables containing your endpoint, engine prefix, and management API key.
BIFROST_ENDPOINT="https://abc.provided.domain"
BIFROST_ENGINE_PREFIX="engine-name-excluding-variant"
BIFROST_MANAGEMENT_API_KEY="abc.123.xyz"
Configuration
The most notable configuration surface is the schema, which determines how data is stored in your index. There are five types of data supported:
text
(default)date
number
geolocation
binary
(only supported for the_attachment
field - see below)
You can specify these data types in the options
node of your fields.
SilverStripe\Forager\Service\IndexConfiguration: indexes: myindex: includeClasses: SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree: fields: title: true summary_field: property: SummaryField options: type: text
File attachments for content extraction
Silverstripe Search supports content extraction for many different file types. These can be attached to your Documents
using an _attachment
field of type binary
.
This field needs to contain a base 64 encoded string of binary for the file you wish to process.
SilverStripe\Forager\Service\IndexConfiguration: indexes: myindex: includeClasses: SilverStripe\Assets\File: fields: title: true _attachment: property: getBase64String options: type: binary
Where getBase64String
is a method in our FileExtension
- which is applied to the File
class by default as part
of this module.
