Features

-Search by content type entity field Now you will be able to search through all content-type fields!

Component model configuration

Component by default is not searchable. To enable Component to be included in search or be able to filter by, you've to add option searchable to true in a configuration json file (*.settings.json):

For example for component called paragraph_component You need to change components/text/paragraph_component.json by modifying option object:

{
  "collectionName": "components_text_paragraph_components",
  "info": {
    "name": "paragraph_component",
    "icon": "align-justify"
  },
  "options": {
++    "searchable": true
  },
  "attributes": {
    "body": {
      "type": "text",
++    "searchable": true
    }
  }
}

Usage

To be able to find model content field, model needs searchable property with true value, then just use endpoint with required query parameter _q:

/content-search?_q=lorem

Response:

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "title": "lorem",
        "content": "lorem ipsum",
        "created_at": "2020-07-23T09:48:24.140Z",
        "updated_at": "2020-07-23T09:48:24.140Z",
        "__contentType": "exmaple_content_type"
    }
]

Custom hook

transformResponse

To be able to modify payload before send response add transformResponse to plugin configuration:

// /config/plugins.js
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  'content-search': {
    transformResponse: (payload) => {
      return {
        ...payload,
        injectedProperty: 'injectedProperty',
      };
    },
  },
});
