Array access method on Synonyms class don't work

[joachim-n]

Description

The array access methods such as offsetExists() on the Synonyms class don't work as expected.

Steps to reproduce

If I get the Synonyms object for a collection and call retrieve() on it, the result is an array whose 'synonyms' key shows I have a number of synonyms. Each synonym array has the root, ID, and synonym words.

However, if I do isset($my_synonyms[$id])) with one of the IDs, I get FALSE.

This appears to be because $this->synonyms is never populated with data from the API call.

Expected Behavior

Array access method should reflect the actual data.

Actual Behavior

Always returns FALSE.

Hello @joachim-n

Can you provide a snippet from your code please?

[joachim-n]

It's a little tricky, as I'm using the Drupal https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_typesense module, which is itself using this package.

Ignoring how I get hold of the collection in the first place, here's some sample code:

      /** @var \Typesense\Collection $collection */
      $collection = $typesense->retrieveCollection($collection_name);

      // This is an array whose 'synonyms' key shows synonym data.
      $synonym_data = $collection->synonyms->retrieve();
      // In particular, we can get the ID of the first synonym in the list like
      // this:
      $first_synonym_id = $synonym_data['synonyms'][0]['id'];

      /** @var \Typesense\Synonyms $synonyms */
      $synonyms = $collection->synonyms;

      // Array access on the synonyms object should allow us to get the synonym
      // from its ID.
      // BUT this shows FALSE:
      dump(isset($synonyms[$first_synonym_id]));
      // This shows an empty synonym, because \Typesense\Synonyms::offsetGet()
      // creates a synonym on the fly:
      dump($synonyms[$first_synonym_id]);

@joachim-n can you please explain from where you are getting this method and what it is contain.

$collection = $typesense->retrieveCollection($collection_name);

I can not find it in our package.

Sorry - it's from the integration module in Drupal: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/search_api_typesense/-/blob/1.0.x/src/Api/SearchApiTypesenseService.php#L124

Looks like you would be better off using the method outlined here in the docs

eg.
$synonym_data = $client->collections['products']->synonyms->retrieve();

It might be you are looking at an outdated php client or that it is a custom one.
Do this instead of getting the collection first.
