Jekyll Algolia Plugin

Jekyll plugin to automatically index your content on Algolia.

Usage

$ bundle exec jekyll algolia

This will push the content of your Jekyll website to your Algolia index.

The plugin requires at least Jekyll 3.6.0 and Ruby 2.3.0.

First, add the jekyll-algolia gem to your Gemfile, in the :jekyll_plugins
section.

# Gemfile

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem 'jekyll-algolia', '~&gt; 1.0'
end

Once this is done, download all dependencies with bundle install.

You need to provide certain Algolia credentials for this plugin to index your
site.

If you don’t yet have an Algolia account, you can open a free Community plan
here. Once signed in, you can get your credentials from
your dashboard.

Once you have your credentials, you should define your application_id and
index_name inside your _config.yml file like this:

# _config.yml

algolia:
  application_id: 'your_application_id'
  index_name:     'your_index_name'

Once your credentials are setup, you can run the indexing by running the
following command:

ALGOLIA_API_KEY='{your_admin_api_key}' bundle exec jekyll algolia

Note that ALGOLIA_API_KEY should be set to your admin API key.
