This provides a way of accessing the GAE text search service for applications which do not have first class access to it (for example node on GAE). It exposes capability to create/update indexes and to run queries.
The intention is it runs within the same GCP project as the main application as a GAE service called search-service. For example, if your GCP project is called my-project-dev the service will run at https://search-service-dot-my-project-dev.appspot.com.
mvn appengine:run
CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT={PROJECT_ID} mvn appengine:deploy
where {PROJECT_ID} is your GCP project id eg. my-project-dev
The relevant endpoints are /index and /query. The SearchService in @mondomob/gae-node-nestjs (https://github.com/mondo-mob/gae-node-nestjs) provides a generic, convenient way to execute index and query operations.
-
The only operation supported at the moment is equals (and IN/OR)
-
Delete operations are not yet supported
-
Only string fields are supported for indexing and only single strings or array of strings can be used for querying at the moment. There is a lot of conversion logic in https://github.com/mondo-mob/spring-boot-gae we can probably take.
