This issue is divided in two sections, first you need to make the implementation, second you must update the code-samples (no one likes a outdated docs, right?).

New implementation

Related to:

• spec: https://github.com/meilisearch/specifications/pull/258
• meilisearch issue: https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/4052

Add a method createSnapshot similar to createDump() to call the newly introduced POST /snapshots route and return a task.

👉 Usage: https://www.notion.so/meilisearch/Usage-On-demand-snapshots-f105c94abb444b61a9d0f94550a5199e

Code samples:

Inside of this file: .code-samples.meilisearch.yml:

2. Create a new entry with this key create_snapshot_1: containing a call to the createSnapshot() method.

Use this as a reference if the previous description was not helpful:

create_snapshot_1: |-
  curl \
  -X POST 'http://localhost:7700/snapshots'

Todo:

• [ ] Implement the new createSnapshot method
• [ ] Update the code-samples according to this issue.
