Cannot read property 'map' of undefined

If you log collection
, does it return an array of authors? If so, could you paste what it does log?
I'm not sure I'm following, sorry. Log it in what way?
Something like this:
transform: (collection) => {
console.log(collection)
return {
...collection,
authors: collection.authors.map(author => author.name)
}
}
Ah I see what you mean - the above code logs the whole object but only for one post(?). So it's returning everything from title to featuredMedia etc
The below is a test post with the error message at the bottom.

Okay - so that shows author as an object, not an array? So you can't run an array method (like map
) on an object...
Ah of course - so will I not be able to search on categories, tags, authors or acf? Or is there another way to include child objects within the parent object?
You should be able to, just specifying 'author' in the search fields should automatically fetch the nested author object, and index it...
Hmmm - it's not working. It turns out that categories and tags are arrays so they are fine using the map method. I just can't search by author or advanced custom fields - they're both definitely in there
searchFields: [
'title',
'tags',
'type',
'author',
'category',
'excerpt',
'content',
'slug',
'path',
'sector',
'acf',
],
Hmm, okay - I'll take a look into this when I get a chance.
Incidentally, you could just return the authors name by using the function option - I.e. author: collection.author.name
I have no idea why I didn't think of that in the first place - that works for me and I'm happy to take that as a solution.
Thanks so much for your help!
Great - I'll keep this open to remind me to check why it doesn't index nested objects, although it may be a flexsearch config needed.
Think I may have a solution for this - like arrays, nested objects can be stringified, so Flexsearch will then parse that data as a string.
@Samii-Noden If you have time, would you be able to test out this fix (v2.0.2
) to see if it works for you?
Yeah I can give it a test - so would it be a case of just specifying 'authors' in the searchFields array without having to do author: collection.author.name in the collection?
Great, thanks 🙂 yes, that is correct...
Although bear in mind it will index every single field under author, so you may still want to filter out some fields by returning an object with the transform function - I.e.
transform: collection => ({
...collection,
author: {
name: collection.author.name,
bio: collection.author.bio
}
})
Thank you - that appears to work!
