⚠️ Breaking changes: Enhanced Enumeration for Task Types & Statuses

The Meilisearch Go client has undergone a significant enhancement in how it handles task types and statuses. In prior versions, developers interfaced with tasks using generic strings. This methodology, while functional, lacked clarity and posed maintenance challenges.

TaskType and TaskStatus have transitioned from generic strings to definitive constants. This change augments code clarity, minimizes potential errors, and paves the way for smoother future updates.

Quick Exemple

// Before:
taskType := "documentDeletion"
...

// After:
taskType := meilisearch.TaskTypeDocumentDeletion

Real world example

// Before:
func Before() {
	resp, _ := meilisearchClient.GetTasks(&meilisearch.TasksQuery{
		Statuses: []string("enqueued", "processing"),
		Types: []string("documentDeletion", "documentAdditionOrUpdate"),
	})

	for _, task := range resp.Results {
		if task.Status == "processing" {
			// ...
		}

		if task.Type == "documentDeletion" {
			// ...
		}
	}
}

// After:
func After() {
	resp, _ := meilisearchClient.GetTasks(&meilisearch.TasksQuery{
		Statuses: []meilisearch.TaskStatus{
			meilisearch.TaskStatusEnqueued,
			meilisearch.TaskStatusProcessing,
		},
		Types: []meilisearch.TaskType{
			meilisearch.TaskTypeDocumentDeletion,
			meilisearch.TaskTypeDocumentAdditionOrUpdate,
		},
	})

	for _, task := range resp.Results {
		if task.Status == meilisearch.TaskStatusProcessing {
			// ...
		}

		if task.Type == meilisearch.TaskTypeDocumentDeletion {
			// ...
		}
	}
}
