## ✨ Features - 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](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/algoliasearch)** ## 💡 Getting Started First, install Algolia JavaScript API Client via the [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm) package manager: ```bash npm install --save algoliasearch ``` Then, create objects on your index: ```js 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: ```js index .search('Fo') .then(({ hits }) => { console.log(hits); }) .catch(err => { console.log(err); }); ``` For full documentation, visit the **[online documentation](https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-client/getting-started/install/javascript/)**. ## 📄 License Algolia JavaScript API Client is an open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE.txt).
