Use of SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE and SchemaFieldTypes in redisearch

[23navi]

Description

The documentation for redisearch packages/search uses the SchemaFieldTypes which is coming from import {SchemaFieldTypes} from "redis" but in the same document we have an example link which takes to
examples/search-hashes.js and here I see

import { createClient, SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE } from 'redis';
...
type: SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE.TEXT

While testing locally with "redis": "^4.0.3"
When trying import { SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE } from "redis"
I am getting the error: '"redis"' has no exported member named 'SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE'. Did you mean 'SchemaFieldTypes'?

@23navi thanks for flagging this.

There is a breaking change in redis@5xx:

SchemaFieldTypes -> SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE [^enum-to-constants]

So,

• for redis@4xx, you need to use SchemaFieldTypes
• for redis@5xx, you need to use SCHEMA_FIELD_TYPE

That said, the documentation in packages/search is stale and misleading. I will fix it.
