# Flask-WhooshAlchemy3
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/flask-whooshalchemy3)
[]()
Whoosh indexing capabilities for Flask-SQLAlchemy, Python 3 compatibility fork.
Performance improvements and suggestions are readily welcome.
Inspired from gyllstromk's [Flask-WhooshAlchemy](https://github.com/gyllstromk/Flask-WhooshAlchemy).
- [Whoosh](http://whoosh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html)
- [Flask-SqlAlchemy](http://flask-sqlalchemy.pocoo.org/2.1/)
## Install
```bash
$ pip install flask-whooshalchemy3
```
..alternatively from source,
```bash
$ pip install git+git://github.com/blakev/Flask-WhooshAlchemy3.git@master
```
## Quickstart
```python
from datetime import datetime
import flask_sqlalchemy
import flask_whooshalchemy3
from whoosh.analysis import StemmingAnalyzer
db = flask_sqlalchemy.SQLAlchemy()
class BlogPost(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'posts'
__searchable__ = ['title', 'content', 'summary'] # indexed fields
__analyzer__ = StemmingAnalyzer()
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
title = db.Column(db.String(255), unique=True)
content = db.Column(db.Text(32 * 1024))
summary = db.Column(db.String(1024))
created = db.Column(db.DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
```
Committing model instances to the session will write or update the Whoosh index.
```python
db.session.add(BlogPost(title='First Post!', content='This is awesome.'))
db.session.commit()
```
Searching is done via `Model.query.search(..)`. However, the request must be done within the Flask
request context otherwise the database connection may not be established.
```python
@app.route('/posts')
def posts():
num_posts = min(request.args.get('limit', 10), 50)
query = request.args.get('q', '')
results = BlogPost.query.search(query, limit=num_posts)
```
Results are ordered by Whoosh's ranking-algorithm, but can be overwritten with SQLAlchemy `.order_by`.
```python
yesterday = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=1)
results = BlogPost.query
.filter(BlogPost.created > yesterday)
.search('first')
.order_by(desc(BlogPost.created))
```
## Flask Configuration
`WHOOSH_ANALYZER` **(whoosh.Analyzer)**
- Sets the global text analyzer, available options [in Whoosh documentation](http://whoosh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/analysis.html).
- Default: `StemmingAnalyzer`.
`WHOOSH_INDEX_PATH` (str)
- File path to where the text indexes will be saved.
- Default: `{cwd}/.indexes/*`
`WHOOSH_INDEXING_CPUS` (int)
- The number of system processes to spawn for indexing new and modified documents.
- Default: `2`
`WHOOSH_INDEXING_RAM` (int)
- The amount of RAM, in megabytes, to reserve per indexing process for data processing.
- Default: `256`
`WHOOSH_RAM_CACHE` (bool)
- Allows common queries and their fields to be stored in cache, in RAM.
- Default: `False`
