## 📚 API Reference

### `CodebaseIndexer`

Main class for indexing and searching.

```typescript
import { CodebaseIndexer, PersistentStorage } from '@sylphx/coderag'

const storage = new PersistentStorage({ codebaseRoot: './project' })
const indexer = new CodebaseIndexer({
  codebaseRoot: './project',
  storage,
  maxFileSize: 1024 * 1024, // 1MB default
})

// Index with file watching
await indexer.index({ watch: true })

// Search with options
const results = await indexer.search('query', {
  limit: 10,
  includeContent: true,
  fileExtensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
  excludePaths: ['node_modules'],
})

// Stop watching
await indexer.stopWatch()

import { PersistentStorage } from '@sylphx/coderag'

const storage = new PersistentStorage({
  codebaseRoot: './project',  // Creates .coderag/ folder
  dbPath: './custom.db',      // Optional custom path
})

import { buildSearchIndex, searchDocuments, initializeTokenizer } from '@sylphx/coderag'

// Initialize StarCoder2 tokenizer (4.7MB, one-time download)
await initializeTokenizer()

// Build index
const documents = [
  { uri: 'file://auth.ts', content: 'export function authenticate...' },
  { uri: 'file://user.ts', content: 'export class User...' },
]
const index = await buildSearchIndex(documents)

// Search
const results = await searchDocuments('authenticate user', index, { limit: 5 })

import { hybridSearch, createEmbeddingProvider } from '@sylphx/coderag'

// Requires OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
const results = await hybridSearch('authentication flow', indexer, {
  vectorWeight: 0.7,  // 70% vector, 30% TF-IDF
  limit: 10,
})
