## 🚀 Getting started

#### Add documents

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-go"
)

func main() {
	client := meilisearch.New("http://localhost:7700", meilisearch.WithAPIKey("foobar"))

	// An index is where the documents are stored.
	index := client.Index("movies")

	// If the index 'movies' does not exist, Meilisearch creates it when you first add the documents.
	documents := []map[string]interface{}{
        { "id": 1, "title": "Carol", "genres": []string{"Romance", "Drama"} },
        { "id": 2, "title": "Wonder Woman", "genres": []string{"Action", "Adventure"} },
        { "id": 3, "title": "Life of Pi", "genres": []string{"Adventure", "Drama"} },
        { "id": 4, "title": "Mad Max: Fury Road", "genres": []string{"Adventure", "Science Fiction"} },
        { "id": 5, "title": "Moana", "genres": []string{"Fantasy", "Action"} },
        { "id": 6, "title": "Philadelphia", "genres": []string{"Drama"} },
	}
	task, err := index.AddDocuments(documents)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	fmt.Println(task.TaskUID)
}
```

With the `taskUID`, you can check the status (`enqueued`, `canceled`, `processing`, `succeeded` or `failed`) of your documents addition using the [task endpoint](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/tasks).

#### Basic Search

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"

    "github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-go"
)

func main() {
    // Meilisearch is typo-tolerant:
    searchRes, err := client.Index("movies").Search("philoudelphia",
        &meilisearch.SearchRequest{
            Limit: 10,
        })
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

    fmt.Println(searchRes.Hits)
}
```

JSON output:
```json
{
  "hits": [{
    "id": 6,
    "title": "Philadelphia",
    "genres": ["Drama"]
  }],
  "offset": 0,
  "limit": 10,
  "processingTimeMs": 1,
  "query": "philoudelphia"
}
```

#### Custom Search

All the supported options are described in the [search parameters](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/search#search-parameters) section of the documentation.

```go
func main() {
    searchRes, err := client.Index("movies").Search("wonder",
        &meilisearch.SearchRequest{
            AttributesToHighlight: []string{"*"},
        })
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

    fmt.Println(searchRes.Hits)
}
```

JSON output:
```json
{
    "hits": [
        {
            "id": 2,
            "title": "Wonder Woman",
            "genres": ["Action", "Adventure"],
            "_formatted": {
                "id": 2,
                "title": "<em>Wonder</em> Woman"
            }
        }
    ],
    "offset": 0,
    "limit": 20,
    "processingTimeMs": 0,
    "query": "wonder"
}
```

#### Custom Search With Filters

If you want to enable filtering, you must add your attributes to the `filterableAttributes` index setting.

```go
task, err := index.UpdateFilterableAttributes(&[]string{"id", "genres"})
```

You only need to perform this operation once.

Note that Meilisearch will rebuild your index whenever you update `filterableAttributes`. Depending on the size of your dataset, this might take time. You can track the process using the [task status](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/advanced/asynchronous_operations).

Then, you can perform the search:

```go
searchRes, err := index.Search("wonder",
    &meilisearch.SearchRequest{
        Filter: "id > 1 AND genres = Action",
    })
```

```json
{
  "hits": [
    {
      "id": 2,
      "title": "Wonder Woman",
      "genres": ["Action","Adventure"]
    }
  ],
  "offset": 0,
  "limit": 20,
  "estimatedTotalHits": 1,
  "processingTimeMs": 0,
  "query": "wonder"
}
```

#### Customize Client

The client supports many customization options:

- `WithCustomClient` sets a custom `http.Client`.
- `WithCustomClientWithTLS` enables TLS for the HTTP client.
- `WithAPIKey` sets the API key or master [key](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/keys).
- `WithContentEncoding` configures [content encoding](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/overview#content-encoding) for requests and responses. Currently, gzip, deflate, and brotli are supported.
- `WithCustomRetries` customizes retry behavior based on specific HTTP status codes (`retryOnStatus`, defaults to 502, 503, and 504) and allows setting the maximum number of retries.
- `DisableRetries` disables the retry logic. By default, retries are enabled.

```go
package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-go"
)

func main() {
	client := meilisearch.New("http://localhost:7700",
        meilisearch.WithAPIKey("foobar"),
        meilisearch.WithCustomClient(http.DefaultClient),
        meilisearch.WithContentEncoding(meilisearch.GzipEncoding, meilisearch.BestCompression),
        meilisearch.WithCustomRetries([]int{502}, 20),
    )
}
```

#### Make SDK Faster

We use encoding/json as default json library due to stability and producibility.
However, the standard library is a bit slow compared to 3rd party libraries. If you're not happy with the
performance of encoding/json, we recommend you to use these libraries:

- [goccy/go-json](https://github.com/goccy/go-json)
- [bytedance/sonic](https://github.com/bytedance/sonic)
- [segmentio/encoding](https://github.com/segmentio/encoding)
- [mailru/easyjson](https://github.com/mailru/easyjson)
- [minio/simdjson-go](https://github.com/minio/simdjson-go)
- [wI2L/jettison](https://github.com/wI2L/jettison)

```go
package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-go"
    "github.com/bytedance/sonic"
)

func main() {
	client := meilisearch.New("http://localhost:7700",
        meilisearch.WithAPIKey("foobar"),
        meilisearch.WithCustomJsonMarshaler(sonic.Marshal),
        meilisearch.WithCustomJsonUnmarshaler(sonic.Unmarshal),
    )
}
```
