Vuex ORM Search plugin adds a search() query chain modifier 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()Vuex ORM is sponsored by awesome folks. Big love to all of them from whole Vuex ORM community 💕
Install @vuex-orm/plugin-search alongside Vuex ORM.
npm install @vuex-orm/core @vuex-orm/plugin-search --save
# OR
yarn add @vuex-orm/core @vuex-orm/plugin-searchThen install the plugin using Vuex ORM use() method.
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).
})The search plugin method accepts two parameters.
search(terms: string | string[], options: Object): Queryterms– 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.
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.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| searchPrimaryKey | Also search the primary key | false |
| location | Approximately where in the text is the pattern expected to be found | 0 |
| distance | Determines how close the match must be to the fuzzy location | 100 |
| threshold | 0.0 requires a perfect match, and a threshold of 1.0 would match anything | 0.3 |
| maxPatternLength | Machine word size | 32 |
| caseSensitive | Indicates whether comparisons should be case sensitive | false |
| tokenSeparator | Regex used to separate words when searching. Only applicable when tokenize is true | / +/g |
| findAllMatches | When true, the algorithm continues searching to even if a perfect match is found | false |
| minMatchCharLength | Minimum number of characters that must be matched before a result is considered a match | 1 |
| keys | An array of fields (columns) to be included in the search | Keys from Model.fields() |
| shouldSort | Whether to sort the result list, by score | false |
| tokenize | When true, the search algorithm will search individual words and the full string, computing the final score as a function of both. NOTE: that when tokenize is true, the threshold, distance, and location are inconsequential for individual tokens | false |
| matchAllTokens | When true, the result set will only include records that match all tokens. Will only work if tokenize is also true. NOTE: It is better to use multiple .search() query chains if you have multiple terms that need to match. | false |
| verbose | Will print to the console. Useful for debugging. | false |
Here are some examples on how to use the search plugin with case specific options.
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
})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()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()Join us on our Slack Channel for any questions and discussions.
Although there is the Slack Channel, do not hesitate to open an issue for any question you might have. We're always more than happy to hear any feedback, and we don't care what kind of form they are.
