algoliasearch-client-js VS api

This extension continually pulls data about active repositories and users from the GitHub Archive dataset and saves it in two separate Algolia indices - 'users' and 'repositories.' When a user starts a search, the results are received using Algolia's JavaScript API client and presented on the UI which leverages Twitter's typeahead.js library to display the auto-completion menu.

It helps you effectively find a file within your code by calling a plugin based on the file type, which then executes a regular expression on the source code to detect import statements. Meanwhile, it uses GitHub tree API in your browser to resolve related file references. Similarly, it uses the OctoLinker API to resolve the external dependencies using the dependency's name and the registry type.
