var neta4 = require('netaphor-search-client');

// Required parameters
var config = {
		clientId:			'yourServerName',
		username:			'[e-mail]',
		password:			'yourPassword'
	};

// Create a new search connector 
var neta4Search = new neta4.Connector(config);

// Load up some data
var data = fs.readFileSync('someData.xml');

// Send the data to the search index
neta4Search.update(data, function (error, response) {
	if (error !== null) {
		console.log('Error with request', error);
	} else {
		// Data successfully submitted
	}	
});	

// Commit your search changes
neta4Search.commit(function (error, response) {
	if (error !== null) {
		console.log('Error with request', error);
	} else {
		// Changes commited to the index and ready to query
	}
});

// Optimize the search index
neta4Search.optimize(function (error, response) {
	if (error !== null) {
		console.log('Error with request', error);
	} else {
		// Index optimized
	}
});

// Search your index
neta4Search.search('?q=*:*&wt=json&qt=standard&rows=10&facet=true', function (error, response) {
	if (error !== null) {
		console.log('Error with request', error);
	} else {
		// Do stuff with the results

});

// Delete an item from the search index
neta4Search.deleteItem(itemId, function (error, response) {
	if (error !== null) {
		console.log('Error with request', error);
	} else {
		// Item marked for deletion, commit your changes to remove the item
