Fulltext search on MongoDB?

[iyobo]

I am interested in seeing an example of how to perform full text search on Mongodb. The documentation on the mongoDB side of things seems sparse.

Full text search has 2 phases. Indexing, and searching.

Indexing

Though I am not 100% sure, I assume indexing for fulltextsearch can be achieved with the following to search across 2 fields called name and meta. Please confirm.

@entity.name('user').index(['name', 'meta'], { fulltext: true })
export class User 

Searching

I'm lost on this one. It seems like it would be a raw query, but I do not see any examples of how to do anything raw with mongodb.

It would seem not even the indexing portion of this is working. I don't see any text based indexes being created.

Please let me know if these features are supported or doable with deepkit?

@marcus-sa please comment.

You have to manually call await database.migrate() for MongoDB. This way the indexes defined in your types/entities are synced with the actual configured mongodb database.
