Indexing Docs

Issue:

I've set up my own .md files in the docs. However, when I use the search, it returns old content from the original Wave setup.

Question:

How do I re-index the docs so Algolia can see the new content? Do I need to create my own index using Algolia?

Current Setup:

<!-- wave/docs/index.blade.php -->
<script type="text/javascript"> 
docsearch({
    apiKey: '57b9a8aca979f9716f86aa3d2b75a415',
    indexName: 'devdojo',
    inputSelector: '.search',
    debug: false
});
</script>

Proposed Steps (Is this Correct?):

Create an Index

• In Algolia dashboard, click "Indices" > "Create Index."
• Name the index (e.g., my-docs).

Install Algolia in Laravel

• Run:

  composer require algolia/algoliasearch-client-php

Create an Artisan Command to Index Your .md Files

• Generate the Artisan command:

  php artisan make:command IndexDocsToAlgolia

• Add the following logic in app/Console/Commands/IndexDocsToAlgolia.php:

  use Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\SearchClient;
  use Illuminate\Console\Command;
  <p>class IndexDocsToAlgolia extends Command
  {
  protected $signature = 'index:docs';
  protected $description = 'Index docs to Algolia';</p>
  <pre><code>public function handle()
  {
      $client = SearchClient::create('YourApplicationID', 'YourAdminAPIKey');
      $index = $client->initIndex('my-docs');
  
      $docs = $this->loadDocs(); // Implement this method to load your docs
  
      foreach ($docs as $doc) {
          $index->saveObject([
              'objectID' => $doc['id'],
              'title' => $doc['title'],
              'content' => $doc['content'],
          ]);
      }
  
      $this->info('Docs have been indexed to Algolia');
  }
  

  }

• Run the command to index your docs:

  php artisan index:docs

Update Frontend

• Modify the docsearch script in your HTML:

docsearch({
    apiKey: 'YourSearchOnlyAPIKey',
    indexName: 'my-docs',
    inputSelector: '.search',
    debug: false
});
