Add Appwrite to Meilisearch 🤩 !

Okay , well I want to add an appwrite collection to my Meilisearch instance. In fact, I've an user collection with contain the username of each user. And I want to add a searching functionality to my NextJS app for username. So how can I do to update automatically the Meilisearch index that we gonna call user when user Appwrite's collection is update to (new user, update user, deleted user, ...) ? I have absolutely no idea how to do it 😄

TL;DR

The user wants to add Appwrite functionality to Meilisearch for searching usernames in their NextJS app. They are unsure how to update the Meilisearch index when the Appwrite collection is updated. A user suggests using GraphQL for this purpose, but another user mentions that they don't need Meilisearch and can use Appwrite's search query instead. They recommend creating a function that triggers when CRUD operations are performed on the Appwrite database to update the index. The user can refer to the Appwrite documentation for a list of events that can trigger a function. The user also shares an example of how to relate users with

A function triggered by database CRUD operation, and so this function can update the meilisearch indexation ?

Hey, thank you for your question, is this regarding the Github Octernship? just curious to know more and help accordingly.

btw, I'm not sure if you need meilisearch for this...have you looked into using Appwrite's search query?

You can create a function that fires when events fire teams.*.memberships.*.create teams.*.memberships.*.delete teams.*.memberships.*.update

If you don't work with a team, you can trigger the events: users.*.create users.*.delete users.*.update

here is a list of all events that can trigger a function: https://appwrite.io/docs/events

In my application, there is a collection with the information of all users. I need these collections because I have a team that manages other teams Here is the example: https://github.com/rafagazani/relacionar_usuario_com_equipe_example

as steven wrote you don't need meilisearch

Heuu its because Im gonna use Meilisearch for searching movies too so I need a search engine for everything. Unless with APpwrite it is possible to search in several collections at the same time (and have a single list returning the most relevant answers, films and users mixed?)

And does the search Appwrite Engine allow typos?
