    v8 - ExamineManager - GatheringNodeData how to, with latest Examine

    We used to do this (to add some extra data to Examine index for certain nodes)

      ExamineManager.Instance..IndexProviderCollection[defaultIndexIndexer].GatheringNodeData += IndexHandler_GatheringNodeData;

    Now this doesn't seem to work anymore. IndexProviderCollection isn't available.. Is there any other way to init this event ?

    Hi Remko

    GatheringNodeData has been removed/consolidated in the version of Examine shipped with V8

    The event you want to handle instead is 'TransformingIndexValues' event

    you can see this in the source code:

       /// <summary>
        /// Raised before the item is indexed allowing developers to customize the data that get's stored in the index
        /// </summary>
        public event EventHandler<IndexingItemEventArgs> TransformingIndexValues;
  /// <summary>
        /// Raises the <see cref="E:TransformingIndexValues"/> event.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="e">The <see cref="IndexingItemEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>
        protected virtual void OnTransformingIndexValues(IndexingItemEventArgs e)
        {
            TransformingIndexValues?.Invoke(this, e);
        }

    which is available here:

    https://github.com/Shazwazza/Examine/blob/864168c7f019908242dd56197e075edea5ee77cf/src/Examine/Providers/BaseIndexProvider.cs

    Not seen any examples yet, but hopefully that's a good steer.

    regards

    Marc

    Ok, that makes sense, thank you.

    Now I only need to know how to get the instance of the IndexProvider (for ExternalIndex) to attach the event... Since there isn't an IndexProviderCollection in ExamineManager.Instance, can you tell me where I can find it nowadays?

    Hi Remko

    It's a bit of a guess, but essentially everything is injected via DI in Umbraco V8...

    So to get a reference to the Examine Manager you need to add it to the constructor for your Component, and it will be magically injected in, the Examine Manager has a list of indexes, if you pull the one you want to handle the event for and cast it to a BaseIndexProvider then that should expose the TransformingIndexValues event...

    but I'm only guessing from the source and intellisense!

    namespace Umbraco8.Components
{
    [RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
    public class RegisterExamineEventComposer : IUserComposer
    {
        public void Compose(Composition composition)
        {
            // Append our component to the collection of Components
            // It will be the last one to be run
            composition.Components().Append<RegisterExamineEventsComponent>();
        }
    }
    public class RegisterExamineEventsComponent : IComponent
    {
        private readonly IExamineManager _examineManager;
        public RegisterExamineEventsComponent(IExamineManager examineManager)
        {
            _examineManager = examineManager;

        }
        public void Initialize()
        {

            var externalIndex = _examineManager.Indexes.Where(f => f.Name == "ExternalIndex");
            ((BaseIndexProvider)externalIndex).TransformingIndexValues += TreeNodesRenderingComponent_TransformingIndexValues;
        }

        private void UmbracoExamineIndex_TransformingIndexValues(IndexingItemEventArgs e)
        {
// do stuff here with the index values like gathering nodedata did
        }
}

    regards

    Marc

    Great! Still don't really understand how objects are magically injected in IComponents, but it seems to work :-)

    Thank you.

    Hi Remko

    it is dark magic I think...

    It's a mess... As we can not change how your field will be indexed (Analyzed, not, stored, not stored ?) ... So now I index tags... and there is nothing I can do with it... I don't want half tags to be found !

    Any updates on how to achieve this now? Looking at migrating a V7 site over that uses GatheringNodeData and came across this post.
