Ruby gem providing an adapter to use the Europeana REST API as a data source for Blacklight.

See the Quick Start Guide.

• Search
• View record
• Pagination of search results
• Field facets
• Query facets
• Facet limits
• Fielded search
• Bookmarks
• Range queries

• Result sorting :(
• "Did you mean" spellcheck
• MLT Solr-style (but see custom features)

• Nested EDM field names
• MLT by record ID in :mlt URL parameter
• Query facets with arbitrary API parameters

In the configuration for query facet fields, the :fq option is a Hash, to permit specification of multiple parameters to be passed to the API:

configure_blacklight do |config|
  config.add_facet_field 'Cities (reusable content)', query: {
    paris: { label: 'Paris', fq: { qf: 'paris', reusability: 'open' } },
    berlin: { label: 'Berlin', fq: { qf: 'berlin', reusability: 'open' } }
  }
end

Warning: query facets are achieved by sending additional queries to the API. If you configure 2 query facets each with 10 facet values, this will result in an additional 20 queries being sent to the API.
