Algolia Search API Client for Qt5

Algolia Search is a hosted search engine capable of delivering realtime results from the first keystroke.

The Algolia Search API Client for Qt5 lets you easily use the Algolia Search REST API from your C++ code.

How to build the client API

You need a compiler with the support of C++14, git, cmake and of course Qt5.

Download sources

git clone [email protected]:algolia/algoliasearch-client-qt5.git

Create a build directory

cd algoliasearch-client-qt5
mkdir build
cd build

Build sources

You need to set the cmake prefix path with the Qt5 path.

For example with clang as compiler and Qt5 in version 5.12.0

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/${HOME}/Qt/5.12.0/clang_64 ..
make -j

If you want to build shared library, you need to run cmake with correct options

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/${HOME}/Qt/5.12.0/clang_64 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON..
make -j

Install the client library

make install

Now you can use the AlgoliaSearch client library.
