How to use createIndex in Javascript?

Hi, I’m trying to implement the index search for Fuse, but for some reason it’s not working. My error is

fuse_js__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_27___default.a.createIndex is not a function

import Fuse from 'fuse.js'

const sampleRecipes = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: 'Plain Chicken',
    servings: 3,
    cookTime: '1:45',
    instructions: "1. Put salt on chicken\n2. Put chicken in oven\n3. Eat chicken",
    ingredients: [
      {
        id: 1,
        name: 'Chicken',
        amount: '2 Pounds'
      },
      {
        id: 2,
        name: 'Salt',
        amount: '1 Tbs'
      }
    ],
    authors: [
      {
        id: 1,
        name: "nun",
        email: "[e-mail]"
      },
      { 
        id: 2,
        name: "matt",
        email:'[e-mail]'      
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Plain Pork',
    servings: 5,
    cookTime: '0:45',
    instructions: "1. Put paprika on pork\n2. Put pork in oven\n3. Eat pork",
    ingredients: [
      {
        id: 1,
        name: 'Pork',
        amount: '3 Pounds'
      },
      {
        id: 2,
        name: 'Paprika',
        amount: '2 Tbs'
      }
    ],
    authors: [
      {
        id: 1,
        name: "pun",
        email: "[e-mail]"
      },
      { 
        id: 2,
        name: "mun",
        email:'[e-mail]'      
      }
      ]
  }
]

const fuseListforIndex = [...sampleRecipes];
    
const index = Fuse.createIndex( 
      ['name',],
      fuseListforIndex
    )
    
    const options =  {
      keys: ['name']
    }
    const myFuse = new Fuse(fuseListforIndex, options, index)
  
    const result = myFuse.search('Pork')

in case it helps anyone, if you want to pre-build the index this worked for me:

1. In your build step

const options = { keys: ['title', 'author.firstName'] }

// Create the Fuse index
const myIndex = Fuse.createIndex(options.keys, books)
// Serialize and save the Fuse index
fs.writeFileSync('fuse-index.json', JSON.stringify(myIndex.toJSON()));

1. In your app:

// require/fetch the index somehow
const fuseIndex =  await require('/assets/fuse-index.json');
// initialize Fuse
const fuse = new Fuse(books, options, Fuse.parseIndex(searchIndex))

disclaimer: I’m not sure if this is officially supported or even the right way to do it!

This is right way to do it, and officially supported.
