Method Detail

byScore

ScoreSortOptionsStep byScore()

Order elements by their relevance score.

The default order is descending, i.e. higher scores come first.

Returns:

A DSL step where the "score" sort can be defined in more details.

byIndexOrder

SortThenStep byIndexOrder()

Order elements by their internal index order.

Returns:

A DSL step where the "index order" sort can be defined in more details.

byField

FieldSortOptionsStep byField(String absoluteFieldPath)

Order elements by the value of a specific field.

The default order is ascending.

Parameters:

absoluteFieldPath - The absolute path of the index field to sort by

Returns:

A DSL step where the "field" sort can be defined in more details.

Throws:

SearchException - If the field doesn't exist or cannot be sorted on.

byDistance

DistanceSortOptionsStep byDistance(String absoluteFieldPath,
                                   GeoPoint location)

Order elements by the distance from the location stored in the specified field to the location specified.

The default order is ascending.

Parameters:

absoluteFieldPath - The absolute path of the indexed location field to sort by.

location - The location to which we want to compute the distance.

Returns:

A DSL step where the "distance" sort can be defined in more details.

Throws:

SearchException - If the field type does not constitute a valid location.

byDistance

default DistanceSortOptionsStep byDistance(String absoluteFieldPath,
                                           double latitude,
                                           double longitude)

Order elements by the distance from the location stored in the specified field to the location specified.

The default order is ascending.

Parameters:

absoluteFieldPath - The absolute path of the indexed location field to sort by.

latitude - The latitude of the location to which we want to compute the distance.

longitude - The longitude of the location to which we want to compute the distance.

Returns:

A DSL step where the "distance" sort can be defined in more details.

Throws:

SearchException - If the field type does not constitute a valid location.

byComposite

CompositeSortComponentsStep byComposite()

Order by a sort composed of several elements.

Note that, in general, calling this method is not necessary as you can chain sorts by calling SortThenStep.then(). This method is mainly useful to mix imperative and declarative style when building sorts. See byComposite(Consumer)

Returns:

A DSL step where the "composite" sort can be defined in more details.

byComposite

SortThenStep byComposite(Consumer<? super CompositeSortComponentsStep> elementContributor)

Order by a sort composed of several elements, which will be defined by the given consumer.

Best used with lambda expressions.

This is mainly useful to mix imperative and declarative style when building sorts, e.g.:

 f.composite( c -> {
    c.add( f.byField( "category" ) );
    if ( someInput != null ) {
        c.add( f.byDistance( "location", someInput.getLatitude(), someInput.getLongitude() );
    }
    c.add( f.byIndexOrder() );
 } )
 

Parameters:

elementContributor - A consumer that will add clauses to the step passed in parameter. Should generally be a lambda expression.

Returns:

A DSL step where the "composite" sort can be defined in more details.

extension

<T> T extension(SearchSortFactoryExtension<T> extension)

Extend the current factory with the given extension, resulting in an extended factory offering different types of sorts.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of factory provided by the extension.

Parameters:

extension - The extension to the sort DSL.

Returns:

The extended factory.

Throws:

SearchException - If the extension cannot be applied (wrong underlying backend, ...).

extension

SearchSortFactoryExtensionIfSupportedStep extension()

Create a DSL step allowing multiple attempts to apply extensions one after the other, failing only if none of the extensions is supported.

If you only need to apply a single extension and fail if it is not supported, use the simpler extension(SearchSortFactoryExtension) method instead.

Returns:

A DSL step.
