Initialization.md

Initialization

Once you have created your document class, you have to initialize the library in order to operate against the Solr instance. This is usually done once at application startup:

Startup.Init<Product>("http://localhost:8983/solr");

Then you ask the service locator for the SolrNet service instance which allows you to issue any supported operation:

var solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ISolrOperations<Product>>();
solr.Delete(SolrQuery.All);
solr.Add(p);
solr.Commit();
var products = solr.Query(new SolrQueryByRange<decimal>("price", 10m, 100m));

Castle Windsor

Alternatively, if your app uses Castle Windsor you can set up SolrNet using the included facility:

container.AddFacility("solr", new SolrNetFacility("http://localhost:8983/solr"));

Or using Windsor's xml config:

<castle> 
    <facilities> 
        <facility id="solr" type="Castle.Facilities.SolrNetIntegration.SolrNetFacility, SolrNet">
            <solrURL>http://localhost:8983/solr</solrURL> 
        </facility> 
    </facilities> 
</castle>

Ninject

If you're using Ninject, you can use the Ninject module:

kernel.Load(new SolrNetModule("http://localhost:8983/solr"));

StructureMap

If you are using StructureMap, you can use the StructureMap module (StructureMap.SolrNetIntegration):

ObjectFactory.Initialize(
    x => x.AddRegistry(
        new SolrNetRegistry("http://localhost:8893/solr")
    )
);

Autofac

(SolrNet 0.4.0)

var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterModule(new SolrNetModule("http://localhost:8983/solr"));
var container = builder.Build();

Unity

(SolrNet 0.4.0)

var solrServers = new SolrServers {
        new SolrServerElement {
          Id = "test",
          Url = "htp://localhost:8893",
          DocumentType = typeof (Entity).AssemblyQualifiedName,
        }
};
container = new UnityContainer();
new SolrNetContainerConfiguration().ConfigureContainer(solrServers, container);

Multi-core mapping

If you need to map multiple Solr cores/instances, see this page.
