Repositories
This chapter explains the Spring Data repository abstraction and the Meilisearch-specific repository behavior implemented by Spring Data Meilisearch.
The goal of the repository abstraction is to reduce boilerplate for data-access code while still allowing direct use of MeilisearchOperations when you need lower-level control.
The repository chapter follows the general Spring Data reference-manual shape, but its scope is intentionally limited to the repository features that this module actually implements today. In particular, Spring Data Meilisearch currently documents:
-
repository definitions based on
MeilisearchRepository<T, ID>, -
repository bootstrap through Java configuration and the XML namespace,
-
the built-in CRUD, sorting, and paging methods backed by
SimpleMeilisearchRepository, -
a limited set of filter-backed derived finder methods,
-
store-specific behavior such as automatic settings application and the difference between document-backed and search-backed methods.
Declared queries, named queries, and advanced derived operators remain unsupported. See Query Methods for the supported subset.
Read the common repository fundamentals first, then continue with the store-specific pages in this chapter to understand the exact repository surface exposed by Spring Data Meilisearch.
