Does searchkick automatically update the index after model has been created?

Question

When I include searchkick in an AR model like so:

class Dog < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchkick # callbacks: :async
end

Is the index synced automatically when I create a new Dog model, or do I have to implement this is an after_commit callback? I found the docs to be somewhat ambiguous on that point and I have not been able to verify this behavior in my tests.

Answer 1

They should auto reindex. Unless you have something blocking them.

By default, all records are indexed. To control which records are indexed, use the should_index? method together with the search_import scope.
