Django algolia search: How to create search for multiple models about algoliasearch-django HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi sant527, I think in your case it'd make sense to use model inheritance.
You'd create a BabyThing

class BabyThing(model.Model):
    name = ... 
    description = ...

class BabyDoctor(BabyThing):
    .... other fields not common

class BabyStore(BabyThing):
    .... other fields not common

class BabySitter(BabyThing):
    .... other fields not common

Then just setup indexing for BabyThing model.

How to create facets in this case

from algoliasearch-django.

Hey @sant527 sorry for the late reply. I've ready your other issue #321

I want to put several modes in singel index. Then only i can make use of facets
like i have models for store, item etc
I want a single index for searching anything store or item.
So i want to add some category and put thesemodels in same index.
How can i do this

I'm not entirely sure what would prevent you from creating facets in this case. Once you data is indexed, you should be able to create a facet.
If you BabyThing parent models has a category field, it should be indexable and configurable as a facet.

class BabyThing(model.Model):
    name = ... 
    description = ...
    category = models.CharField(max_length=30)

Then you'll be able to create:

• BabySitter(name="Suzy", description="...", category="3-5yo")
• BabyStore(name="The awesome store", description="...", category="3-5yo")

Can you elaborate on the problem you're facing with this appoarch ?
BTW, I'll close #321 to continue the discussion here.

I'll close this issue. Happy to investigate this again after you elaborate on the problem you're facing with my approach. Feel free to reopen then.
