# Omni Search Dev Harness
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have created a small test harness for a basic Omni Search box, it is not complete as it's a simple test harness to get the concept essentiall "down on paper".
|
|
|
|
**To Run**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ npm run start
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It should be available in the browser at `http://localhost:4200/`
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The options are specified in JSON contained within the `src/app/app.component.ts` file.
|
|
|
|
The JSON is structured as an array of SearchFragments:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"mode" : {
|
|
"title" : "Project",
|
|
"accepted" : ".+",
|
|
"output" : "Project title {{$modifier}} {{$value}}",
|
|
"hint" : "Project title"
|
|
},
|
|
"modifiers" : [
|
|
{
|
|
"title" : "Is",
|
|
"accepted" : "is",
|
|
"output" : "IS",
|
|
"hint" : "Is Operator"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"title" : "Isn't",
|
|
"accepted" : "isn't",
|
|
"output" : "IS NOT",
|
|
"hint" : "Is Not Operator"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"title" : "Contains",
|
|
"accepted" : "contains",
|
|
"output" : "CONTAINS",
|
|
"hint" : "Contains Operator"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each fragment contains a single mode, which details what the mode should be. As for modifiers, that is an array so it can hold as many as required.
|
|
|
|
If you look in `src/app/app.component.ts`, there is a commented out entry, if that is uncommented, it should add a fourth entry with four modifiers.
|
|
|
|
Code wise, it is fairly simple, not much error checking or even testing as it's a simple harness to get a concept working.
|
|
|
|
## Taking it forward
|
|
|
|
If work were to continue with it, it would definitely need to be refined to look like the proper search bar.
|
|
|
|
I would like to make the Omni Bar items be removable by clicking a cross button or something.
|
|
|
|
The output for each item was planned to be a pseudo SQL like structure, but it really needs refinement, and probably multiple parts to make a coherent sql query.
|
|
|
|
It also needs testing, which this has none of.
