@algolia/client-common
Advanced tools
The @algolia/client-common package provides common utility functions and configurations used across various Algolia JavaScript API clients. It is designed to streamline interactions with Algolia's search services by providing a consistent set of tools for error handling, request building, and response parsing.
Configuration and Initialization
This feature allows developers to initialize and configure the Algolia client with their application ID and API key, setting up the client to interact with Algolia's API.
const algoliaClient = createAlgoliaClient({ appId: 'YourAppID', apiKey: 'YourApiKey' });
Request Building
This feature helps in constructing HTTP requests for various API endpoints. It simplifies the process of defining the HTTP method, endpoint, and payload.
const request = algoliaClient.buildRequest('POST', '/indexes/myIndex/query', { query: 'example' });
Error Handling
Provides robust error handling mechanisms to catch and process errors that may occur during API interactions, improving the reliability of applications using Algolia.
try { const result = await algoliaClient.search('myIndex', 'query'); } catch (error) { handleError(error); }
Like @algolia/client-common, Elasticsearch's client package provides tools for connecting to and interacting with Elasticsearch services. While both offer API clients for search services, Elasticsearch is more focused on complex search operations and analytics across large datasets.
