## What Expose custom FTS stop-word lists in the Python and TypeScript public APIs, including their standalone tokenize helpers and remote index creation. This PR supports concrete string lists only. It does not add file or LanceDB-table stop-word sources. ## Why Rust already exposes Lance's custom stop-word list option. The Python and TypeScript APIs did not pass it through, and local index details did not retain the full tokenizer parameters needed by index-backed tokenization after reopening a table. ## How - Add `custom_stop_words` / `customStopWords` to the Python and TypeScript FTS and tokenize options. - Preserve `None` / `undefined`, empty lists, and list contents without normalization. - Load the persisted FTS segment parameters when returning local index details. - Serialize the concrete list in remote create-index requests. - Keep Python and TypeScript tests thin; behavior, persistence, query tokenization, and remote JSON coverage live primarily in Rust. ## Validation - `cargo check --quiet --features remote --tests --examples` - `cargo clippy --quiet --features remote --tests --examples` - `cargo test --quiet --features remote --tests` - Python extension rebuild with `uv` and `maturin` - Targeted Python tests: 4 passed - Python `ruff format --check` and `ruff check` - TypeScript build, typecheck, Biome lint, generated docs, and targeted tests --------- Co-authored-by: Yang Cen <yangcen@Yangs-Mac-mini.local>
LanceDB Documentation
LanceDB docs are available at docs.lancedb.com.
The SDK docs are built and deployed automatically by Github Actions
whenever a commit is pushed to the main branch. So it is possible for the docs to show
unreleased features.
Building the docs
Setup
- Install LanceDB Python. See setup in Python contributing guide.
Run
make developto install the Python package. - Install documentation dependencies. From LanceDB repo root:
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
Preview the docs
cd docs
mkdocs serve
If you want to just generate the HTML files:
PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml
If successful, you should see a docs/site directory that you can verify locally.
Adding examples
To make sure examples are correct, we put examples in test files so they can be run as part of our test suites.
You can see the tests are at:
- Python:
python/python/tests/docs - Typescript:
nodejs/examples/
Checking python examples
cd python
pytest -vv python/tests/docs
Checking typescript examples
The @lancedb/lancedb package must be built before running the tests:
pushd nodejs
npm ci
npm run build
popd
Then you can run the examples by going to the nodejs/examples directory and
running the tests like a normal npm package:
pushd nodejs/examples
npm ci
npm test
popd
API documentation
Python
The Python API documentation is organized based on the file docs/src/python/python.md.
We manually add entries there so we can control the organization of the reference page.
However, this means any new types must be manually added to the file. No additional
steps are needed to generate the API documentation.
Typescript
The typescript API documentation is generated from the typescript source code using typedoc.
When new APIs are added, you must manually re-run the typedoc command to update the API documentation. The new files should be checked into the repository.
pushd nodejs
npm run docs
popd
