New feature in Index class

[jnovos]

Hi, I would like to add a new method into Index class. lunr.Index.prototype.indexJson = function (index) { return JSON.stringify(index) } I need this method to finish a extension for Middleman.

It's possible thank you

What is the index argument that your function takes?

Do you need a method on the index to do that?

The index object already has the ability to be converted to JSON by just calling JSON.stringify(idx), where idx is the index object. I'd rather not have the index have a method that just wraps JSON.stringify as I'm not sure it adds much value.

If you really do need this to be a method on the index object then consider writing a plugin, some details here - http://lunrjs.com/docs/#use

For this case it might look a little bit like this:

var indexJSONPlugin = function () {
  this.indexJson = function (index) {
    return JSON.stringify(index)
  }
}

Then use your plugin like this:

idx.use(indexJSONPlugin)

Feel free to re-open if I've misunderstood your use case, or if you have any other questions.
