[rubentalstra]

Summary

fixes: #6243 caused by #6210
Closes: #6242

This pull request includes significant updates to the mongoMeili plugin for synchronizing MongoDB collections with a MeiliSearch index. The main changes involve enhancing documentation, improving the synchronization process, and adding detailed comments for better code clarity.

Enhancements to Documentation and Code Clarity:

• Added comprehensive JSDoc comments to functions and methods to describe their purpose, parameters, and return values. This includes validateOptions, createMeiliMongooseModel, and various instance methods. [1] [2] [3]
• Improved inline comments to explain the logic and steps involved in the synchronization process between MongoDB and MeiliSearch. [1] [2]

Synchronization Process Improvements:

• Enhanced the syncWithMeili method to include detailed steps for fetching, comparing, and updating documents between MongoDB and MeiliSearch. This includes handling partial failures and batch processing.
• Updated the post-save, post-update, and post-remove hooks to ensure consistent synchronization with MeiliSearch. [1] [2]

Code Refactoring:

• Refactored the preprocessObjectForIndex method to improve readability and maintainability by using _.omitBy and _.pick.
• Simplified the addObjectToMeili, updateObjectToMeili, and deleteObjectFromMeili methods by removing unnecessary comments and enhancing error handling. [1] [2]

Environment and Configuration Handling:

• Added environment flags to indicate if search and MeiliSearch are enabled based on environment variables.
• Validated configuration options for the mongoMeili plugin to ensure all required options are provided.

Additional Improvements:

• Registered Mongoose hooks (pre-deleteMany, post-findOneAndUpdate) to maintain index consistency during bulk deletions and updates. [1] [2]
