NAME

Dancer::Plugin::Apache::Solr - Apache::Solr interface for Dancer applications

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

use Dancer;
use Dancer::Plugin::Apache::Solr qw(solr);

get '/search' => sub {
  my $results = solr('default')->select(q => param 'q');

  # If you are accessing the 'default' schema, then you can just do:
  my $results = solr->select(q => param 'q');

  template search_results => {
    results => do_something_clever_with ($results)
  };
};

dance;

DESCRIPTION

This plugin makes it very easy to create Dancer applications that interface with the Apache Solr search engine.

It automatically exports the keyword solr which returns an Apache::Solr object.

You just need to configure your connection information.

For performance, Apache::Solr objects are cached in memory and are lazy loaded the first time they are accessed.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration can be done in your Dancer config file.

Simple example

Here is a simple example. It defines one Solr server named default:

plugins:
  Apache-Solr:
    default:
      server: http://solr.example.com/search/

Multiple servers

In this example, there are 2 servers configured named default and accessories:

plugins:
  Apache-Solr:
    default:
      server: http://solr.example.com/productSearch/
    accessories:
      server: http://solr.example.com/accessorySearch/

Each server configured must at least have a server option set.

If you only have one server configured, or one of them is named default, you can call solr without an argument to get the only or default server, respectively.

server_info

Alternatively, you may also declare your server information inside a hash named server_info:

plugins:
  Apache-Solr:
    default:
      server_info:
        server: http://solr.example.com/productSearch/
        format => JSON
        server_version: 4.5

alias

Aliases allow you to reference the same underlying server with multiple names.

For example:

plugins:
  Apache-Solr:
    default:
        server: http://solr.example.com/productSearch/
    products:
      alias: default

Now you can access the default schema with solr(), solr('default'), or solr('products').

FUNCTIONS

solr

my $results = solr->select( q => $searchString );

The solr keyword returns a Apache::Solr object ready for you to use.

If you have configured only one server, then you can simply call solr with no arguments.

If you have configured multiple server, you can still call solr with no arguments if there is a server named default in the configuration.

With no argument, the default server is returned.

Otherwise, you must provide solr() with the name of the server:

my $user = solr('accessories')->select( ... );
