“Building a Seamless Search Experience with Lyra and TypeScript”

Building a Search Feature with Lyra and TypeScript

A robust search feature is essential for any web application, allowing users to quickly find relevant information. In this article, we’ll explore how to build a search feature using Lyra and TypeScript. We’ll also learn how to handle push notifications with Apprise.

Why Use Lyra?

Lyra is an easy-to-integrate, full-fledged search feature developed with TypeScript. It provides lightning-fast data queries, suggestions, auto-completes, and error tolerance for user search queries. With Lyra, you can create a seamless search experience for your users.

What is Apprise?

Apprise is a lightweight notification service that allows developers to send notifications to different platforms simultaneously, including social media platforms, mail, and SMTP services. We’ll use Apprise to send notifications to Discord and Telegram.

Setting Up the Project

To get started, we’ll need to set up a new project with TypeScript and Next.js. We’ll also install the necessary dependencies, including Lyra and Apprise.

bash
npm init -y
npm install typescript @types/node next lyra apprise


Creating the Search Feature

To create the search feature, we’ll need to define the schema of the data we want to search. We’ll use the create method from Lyra to create a new instance.
“`typescript
import { create } from ‘lyra’;

const newMovies = create({
schema: {
name: ‘string’,
downloadURL: ‘string’,
rating: ‘number’,
},
});
“`

Adding Data to the Search Index

We’ll use the insert method to add data to the search index.
typescript
newMovies.insert({
name: 'Movie 1',
downloadURL: 'https://example.com/movie1.mp4',
rating: 5,
});


Searching for Data

We’ll use the search method to search for data in the search index.
typescript
const results = newMovies.search('movie');
console.log(results);


Sending Notifications with Apprise

We’ll use Apprise to send notifications to Discord and Telegram. We’ll need to set up a new Apprise server and define the notification URLs.

“`typescript
import { Apprise } from ‘apprise’;

const apprise = new Apprise();
apprise.add(‘discord’, {
url: ‘https://discord.com/api/webhooks/WEBHOOKID/WEBHOOKTOKEN’,
});

apprise.add(‘telegram’, {
url: ‘https://api.telegram.org/botBOT_TOKEN/sendMessage’,
});

apprise.notify(‘New movie added!’, {
title: ‘Movie Notification’,
});
“`
