Plugin Options

• keywordField specifies which schema field to be used to store keywords. default to keywords.
• extract optional function that used to extract language specific keywords from fields. If not provided glossary will be used
• fields specifies which fields fields to be used for computing keywords. default to all fields with string schema type
• blacklist specifies a collections of words to remove from keywords. default to []
• language change the search language. Default to english. If you specify a language value of "none", then the text search uses simple tokenization with no list of stop words and no stemming.

    keywordField:'keywords',
    language:'english',
    fields:['title','authors'],
    blacklist:['comic','batman'],
    extract: function(content, done){
        done(null, content.split(' '));
    }
});

    done(error, _book);
});

unkeywordize(keywords)

var book = new Book();
expect(book.keywords).to.have.length(0);

var keywords = faker.lorem.words();
book.keywordize(keywords);

book.unkeywordize(keywords[0]);

expect(book.keywords).to.not.contain(keywords[0]);
