NAME

6       Lucy::Docs::Tutorial::BeyondSimpleTutorial - A more flexible app
7       structure.
8

DESCRIPTION

10   Goal
11       In this tutorial chapter, weXll refactor the apps we built in
12       SimpleTutorial so that they look exactly the same from the end userXs
13       point of view, but offer the developer greater possibilites for
14       expansion.
15
16       To achieve this, weXll ditch Lucy::Simple and replace it with the
17       classes that it uses internally:
18
19       •   Schema - Plan out your index.
20
21       •   FullTextType - Field type for full text search.
22
23       •   EasyAnalyzer - A one-size-fits-all parser/tokenizer.
24
25       •   Indexer - Manipulate index content.
26
27       •   IndexSearcher - Search an index.
28
29       •   Hits - Iterate over hits returned by a Searcher.

31   Adaptations to indexer.pl
32       After we load our modulesX
33
34           use Lucy::Plan::Schema;
35           use Lucy::Plan::FullTextType;
36           use Lucy::Analysis::EasyAnalyzer;
37           use Lucy::Index::Indexer;
38
39       X the first item weXre going need is a Schema.
40
41       The primary job of a Schema is to specify what fields are available and
42       how theyXre defined.  WeXll start off with three fields: title, content
43       and url.
44
45           # Create Schema.
46           my $schema = Lucy::Plan::Schema->new;
47           my $easyanalyzer = Lucy::Analysis::EasyAnalyzer->new(
48               language => 'en',
49           );
50           my $type = Lucy::Plan::FullTextType->new(
51               analyzer => $easyanalyzer,
52           );
53           $schema->spec_field( name => 'title',   type => $type );
54           $schema->spec_field( name => 'content', type => $type );
55           $schema->spec_field( name => 'url',     type => $type );
56
57       All of the fields are specXd out using the FullTextType FieldType,
58       indicating that they will be searchable as Xfull textX X which means
59       that they can be searched for individual words.  The XanalyzerX, which
60       is unique to FullTextType fields, is what breaks up the text into
61       searchable tokens.
62
63       Next, weXll swap our Lucy::Simple object out for an Indexer.  The
64       substitution will be straightforward because Simple has merely been
65       serving as a thin wrapper around an inner Indexer, and weXll just be
66       peeling away the wrapper.
67
68       First, replace the constructor:
69
70           # Create Indexer.
71           my $indexer = Lucy::Index::Indexer->new(
72               index    => $path_to_index,
73               schema   => $schema,
74               create   => 1,
75               truncate => 1,
76           );
77
78       Next, have the "indexer" object add_doc() where we were having the
79       "lucy" object adding the document before:
80
81           foreach my $filename (@filenames) {
82               my $doc = parse_file($filename);
83               $indexer->add_doc($doc);
84           }
85
86       ThereXs only one extra step required: at the end of the app, you must
87       call commit() explicitly to close the indexing session and commit your
88       changes.  (Lucy::Simple hides this detail, calling commit() implicitly
89       when it needs to).
90
91           $indexer->commit;
92
93   Adaptations to search.cgi
94       In our search app as in our indexing app, Lucy::Simple has served as a
95       thin wrapper X this time around IndexSearcher and Hits.  Swapping out
96       Simple for these two classes is also straightforward:
97
98           use Lucy::Search::IndexSearcher;
99
100           my $searcher = Lucy::Search::IndexSearcher->new(
101               index => $path_to_index,
102           );
103           my $hits = $searcher->hits(    # returns a Hits object, not a hit count
104               query      => $q,
105               offset     => $offset,
106               num_wanted => $page_size,
107           );
108           my $hit_count = $hits->total_hits;  # get the hit count here
109
110           ...
111
112           while ( my $hit = $hits->next ) {
113               ...
114           }
115
116   Hooray!
117       Congratulations!  Your apps do the same thing as beforeX but now
118       theyXll be easier to customize.
119
120       In our next chapter, FieldTypeTutorial, weXll explore how to assign
121       different behaviors to different fields.
