• Thin & minimal low-level HTTP client to interact with Algolia's API
• Works both on the browser and node.js
• UMD compatible, you can use it with any module loader
• Contains type definitions: @types/algoliasearch

First, install Algolia JavaScript API Client via the npm package manager:

npm install --save algoliasearch

Then, create objects on your index:

const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');

const client = algoliasearch('YourApplicationID', 'YourAdminAPIKey');
const index = client.initIndex('your_index_name');

const objects = [{
  objectID: 1,
  name: 'Foo'
}];

index
  .saveObjects(objects)
  .then(({ objectIDs }) => {
    console.log(objectIDs);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

Finally, let's actually search using the search method:

index
  .search('Fo')
  .then(({ hits }) => {
    console.log(hits);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });
