dbc-node-opensearch-client

Node client for the DBC OpenSearch webservice https://opensource.dbc.dk/services/open-search-web-service. Implements the searchOperation of the webservice for retrieving either a search result list or a work.

OpenSearch.getSearchResult(values):Promise

Method for creating a search request with a query and a set of user provided and/or application specific parameters. This method returns a search result from the OpenSearch webservice as work collections, containing as many works as specified by a 'stepValue' parameter, from the number in the 'start' parameter. The 'sort' parameter decides the sorting of the search result.

Example

params = {
  query: 'harry potter',
  start: 1,
  stepValue: 10,
  sort: 'rank_frequency'
};

OpenSearch.getSearchResult(params);

OpenSearch.getWorkResult(values):Promise

Method for creating a search request for a specific work given a specific identifier as a query. The method returns the first result from the OpenSearch webservice with all the manifestations in a work collection.

Example

params = {
  query: 'rec.id=870970-basis:21907960'
};

OpenSearch.getWorkResult(params);

OpenSearch.init(config):METHODS

Init method for setting service wsdl (that has the service endpoint) and defaults through a config object. The method returns the methods available through this client.

Example

config = {
  wsdl: 'http://opensearch.addi.dk/4.0.1/?wsdl',
  agency: '000000',
  profile: 'test',
  cache: standardCache
};

OpenSearch.init(config);
