@vuex-orm/plugin-search

Vuex ORM Search plugin adds a search() method to the vuex-orm query methods to easily filter matched records using fuzzy search logic from the Fuse.js library.

A simple example to search for 'john' within your query:

const users = User.query().search('john').get()

Installation

Install @vuex-orm/plugin-search alongside with Vuex ORM Core.

# Via NPM.
npm install @vuex-orm/core @vuex-orm/plugin-search --save

# Via Yarn.
yarn add @vuex-orm/core @vuex-orm/plugin-search

Setup

Import the search plugin in the Vuex Store entry file.

import VuexORM from '@vuex-orm/core'
import VuexORMSearch from '@vuex-orm/plugin-search'

VuexORM.use(VuexORMSearch, {
  // Configure default fuse.js options here (see "Configuration" section below).
})

API

The search plugin method accepts two parameters.

search(terms: string | string[], options: object): this

• terms – any string or an array of strings.
• options – see the "Configurations" section below.

NOTE: If passing an array of search terms, the results assume some element in the array to be matched.

Configurations

The plugin provides opinionated default Fuse.js options for token-based matching for optimum performance. These options can be easily changed at two stages of the plugin lifecycle:

• Plugin installation (sets the global default options).
• Runtime within the search() query chain.

See: Fuse.js for demo.

Option Examples

Here are some examples on how to use the search plugin with case specific options.

During Plugin Install

For example, if we want to match based on case sensitive and no fuzzy search logic (perfect match).

VuexORM.use(VuexORMSearch, {
  caseSensitive: true,
  threshold: 0
})

During Query Chain

The global install options will now default to case sensitive and no fuzzy logic, but for example we have a run-time case we need to ignore case and implement a slightly more strict fuzzy search threshold.

Let's also specify the need to only search the firstName and lastName fields.

const users = User.query().search('john', {
  caseSensitive: false,
  threshold: 0.3,
  keys: ['firstName', 'lastName']
}).get()

Finding Results Matching Multiple Terms

Let's find all matches where both pat and male exist in our records, and sort by the date added.

const data = User.query().search(['pat', 'male'], {
  keys: ['firstName', 'gender']
}).get()
