Migrate to typesense as search backend

Overview

As discussed at #290, we can move to typesense to gain instant-search capability. The search experience should be easier and faster for the user, as it provides typo-tolerant and near real-time search results.

Implementation details

Typesense server will hosted by trustmedis and its contents are crawled hourly by wbw-gsheets-crawler. As discussed by @zainfathoni , there are three indices for now:

• wbw-gsheets-database
• wbw-gsheets-faq
• wbw-gsheets-telemedicine

More indices can be added by making MR into crawler repository.

Fortunately, we have typesense-instantsearch-adapter as a wrapper of Algolia’s instantsearch react components. No need to write components from scratch.

API KEY information

HOST : public-api.trustmedis.id
PROTOCOL : https
PORT : 443
API KEY : FByczfHEjsTCihgkkYlq2YbAgUKMoyVP

Code

A dirty implementation to instantiate typesense class should be looked like:

  const searchAdapter = new TypesenseInstantSearchAdapter({
    server: {
      apiKey: API_KEY, // search-only API key
      nodes: [
        {
          host: "public-api.trustmedis.id",
          port: "443",
          protocol: "https",
        },
      ],
    },
    additionalSearchParameters: {
      queryBy: ["pertanyaan" , "jawaban"], // for wbw-gsheets-faq index
    },
  });

Sorry, I wasn’t feeling well so I coudn’t work on it. Just pushed #401 update. Basic feature is done, but I still have some problems on the setting & testing.

First, for the setting as I mentioned here https://github.com/kawalcovid19/wargabantuwarga.com/pull/401#issuecomment-888246450

And for testing, since the data is from index, mock data can’t be initialized and passed as props. Tried to find mock for typesense/algolia but still can’t find it so I change the test using hardcoded text -> could result in failed test if the data is updated.

Well, I’ve also written a quick implementation of this approach in this commit from this stateResults reference mas @zainfathoni . Hope it helps.

PS: pardon for bad styling, 😃)
