Primary LanguageTypeScript

This is a simple example of using TypeSense with Next.js 14 and InstantSearch.js

Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following installed:

  • Docker
  • Bun

Getting Started

First, start TypeSense with Docker:

docker compose up -d

Next, go ahead and install the app dependencies:

bun install

Once installed, we can then seed TypeSense with our sample data:

bun ./scripts/seed.ts

If seeding doesn't work there, you can seed via cURL:

curl http://localhost:8108/collections/movies/documents/import \
-X POST \
-H "X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY: xyz" \
--data-binary @./data/movies.jsonl

Now, run the Next.js development dev server:

bun run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser. You should see a listing of movies and be able to search through them!
