How to query content from a module

[svirmasalo]

Hi! I'm trying to create a module that indexes content to Algolia on build / generate.

How can I query the content from a module?

This is what I've tried but it won't work as the queryContent function is not available.

import consola from "consola";
import algoliasearch from "algoliasearch";

import { queryContent } from "@nuxt/content"; //  👈 I've tried default imports too 
import { defineNuxtModule } from "@nuxt/kit";

export default defineNuxtModule({
  meta: {
    // module meta etc
  },
  // Default configuration options for your module
  defaults: {
   // keys etc 
  },
  hooks: {},
  async setup(moduleOptions, nuxt) {
    consola.info("Nuxt 3 Content Algolia module loaded");
    nuxt.hook('modules:done', async (nuxt) => {
      consola.info('Algolia indexing started');
      const cities = await queryContent('/cities').find();
      consola.info(cities);
     // ... rest of the logic will go here
});

The error message is pretty clear, but I don't know how to solve it in this case. I've tried many things tho... 😅

Any help is much appreciated 🙏

Thanks!

You can access the query api directly, eg.

const items = await $fetch<ParsedContent>("/api/_content/query", {
  method: "GET",
  query: {
    _params={"where":[{"_path":"--REGEX /^\\/cities/"}],"limit":10}
  },
}).then((res) => {
  return res;
});
