Azure Search Indexes

The bot needs three indexes in Azure Search: categories, products, and variants. You can run populate.js to get it all set up:

1. Sign up for Azure and create a new Azure Search service. I named mine commercechat.

2. Set up two environment variables just like you need for the bot:

• SEARCH_APP_NAME - the name of your Azure Search service. The code assumes that you have all three indexes in the same Azure Search resource
• SEARCH_API_KEY- your API key to the Azure Search service

3. Run the script like this from the project root:

$ node indexes/populate.js

Here's how you would run the script with the environment variables set for the time of its execution:

$ SEARCH_APP_NAME=commercechat SEARCH_API_KEY=mykey node indexes/populate.js
