Align Node SDK browse types with JavaScript SDK #268

Description

@BBlackwo

The Node SDK browse types diverge from the JavaScript SDK:

  • Node BrowseParameters is missing filterMatchTypes?: Record<string, 'all' | 'any' | 'none'>, which exists in JS IBrowseParameters.

  • Node VariationsMap differs from the JS VariationsMap:

    • group_by is required in Node but optional in JS.
    • JS supports filter_by, which is missing in Node.
    • Node only supports first | min | max | all aggregations.
    • JS additionally supports count | field_count | value_count.
    • JS value_count entries support a value: string | number | boolean field.
  • Node GetBrowseResultsResponse differs from the JS GetBrowseResultsResponse:

    • Node makes request and response optional and wraps them in Partial<>; JS requires both and uses complete response data types.
    • Node makes result_id optional; JS requires it.
    • Node response collections are partial:
      • result_sources: Partial<ResultSources>
      • facets: Partial<Facet>[]
      • groups: Partial<Group>[]
      • results: Partial<BrowseResultData>[]
      • sort_options: Partial<SortOption>[]
      • features: Partial<Feature>[]
      • collection: Partial<Collection>
    • The JS type makes those collections complete, while collection is optional.
    • JS additionally exposes optional related_searches and related_browse_pages.
    • Node requires BrowseResultData.variations and variations_map; JS makes both optional and uses VariationsMapResponse for variations_map.
  • The nested Node BrowseRequestType also differs from the JS BrowseRequestType: Node requires fields such as filter_match_types, filters, and query, while JS makes filter_match_types, filters, and query optional and includes facet_name.

This prevents sharing browse models between server and client without type assertions. It would be great to align them, thanks!
