SolrPanel¶ ↑

• github.com/rlasch/solrpanel

SolrPanel is a lightweight package used to access Apache Solr, specifically the Solr Cell module. It is far from what would be called full feature. As this library matures, I’m hoping to fill out the functionality.

Adding Documents

To add a document, invoke update and commit on a Solr::Panel instance.

solr = SolrPanel::Client.new
solr.update(document.source.path, document.id, {'literal.company_id' => document.company_id})
solr.commit

Deleting Documents

To delete a document, invoke delete and commit on a Solr::Panel instance.

solr = SolrPanel::Client.new
solr.delete(document_id)
solr.commit

Searching Documents

To search for documents, class the search method with the search string.

sunlight = SolrPanel::Client.new
@results = sunlight.search(@search.search_string)
if @results
  doc_list = @results.collect() do |r|  
    r.id
  end
end

The following gems are required:

• httpclient

• nokogiri

This should come as no surpise:

sudo gem install solrpanel
