Yes that's how you use tantivy normally, not sure which json config you mean.
tantivy-cli is more like a showcase, https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy is the actual project.
But instead of this, I would prefer some way to just hand it JSON and for it to just index all the fields...
for comparison, this is my meilisearch SDK code:
fun createCustomers() {
val client = Client(Config("http://localhost:7700", "password"))
val index = client.index("customers")
val customers = transaction {
val customers = Customer.all()
val json = customers.map { CustomerJson.from(it) }
Json.encodeToString(ListSerializer(CustomerJson.serializer()), json)
}
index.addDocuments(customers, "id")
}Thanks!
