faceted search using node-solr

Question

I am trying to confirm whether faceted search is available via node-solr or not. Has anyone used the Solr functionality with nodejs and if so, can you kindly point to an online resource/share sample code that displays the functionality.

Thanks

Even though I couldn't find it in their official documentation- this is what got working for me.

var client = sails.solr;
var query = client.createQuery().q({
  'city_id': options.city_id,
  'content_auto': options.term,
})
.fl('sku')
.start(0)
.rows(2000)
.facet({'field':'brand'})
.facet({'field':'price'})
.facet({'field':'discount_percentage'})
.facet({'field':'pack_size'})
.facet({'field':'categories'})
var defer = sails.Q.defer();
client.search(query, function(err, obj){
    if(err) {
        console.log('Error getting data from solr. Error: ' + err);
        return defer.reject(err);
    }
    return defer.resolve(obj);
});
return defer.promise;

Obviously- stumbled across it by good'ol trial and error!
