Changing cache path?

[IanTrudel]

Hello @floere ! How to change the cache path for loading and dumping index?

[floere]

@backorder Hi Ian! 😊 You can change the general index path by changing Picky.root (default is Dir.pwd). Let me know if that's not what you are looking for – preferably via example code . Thanks!

Thanks, @floere! It does work. There is however a caveat: Picky.root must be defined before the creation of any Picky::Index. If it is used after, it will dump using the new path but will load from the default path.

require 'picky'

Person = Struct.new :id, :first, :last

Picky.root = File.join(Dir.pwd, "database")

index = Picky::Index.new :people do
  source { People.all }
  indexing splits_text_on: /[\s-]/
  category :first
  category :last
end
index.add Person.new(1, 'Florian', 'Hanke')
index.add Person.new(2, 'Peter', 'Mayer-Miller')

people = Picky::Search.new index do
  searching splits_text_on: /[\s,-]/
end

results = people.search 'Miller'
p results.ids # => [2]
