SearchBox creates a search box UI component that is connected to one or more database fields. A SearchBox queries the appbase.io backend with query type suggestion to render different kind of suggestions, read more about the suggestion query type here.

Example uses:

  • Searching for a rental listing by its name or description field.
  • Creating an e-commerce search box for finding products by their listing properties.
  • Creating a product catalog search based on different categories.

Props

  • componentId String unique identifier of the component, can be referenced in other components' react prop.

  • dataField string | Array<string | DataField*> [optional*] index field(s) to be connected to the component’s UI view. SearchBox accepts an Array in addition to string, which is useful for searching across multiple fields with or without field weights.
    Field weights allow weighted search for the index fields. A higher number implies a higher relevance weight for the corresponding field in the search results.
    You can define the dataField property as an array of objects of the DataField type to set the field weights.
    The DataField type has the following shape:

    Copy
    type DataField = {
    	field: string;
    	weight: number;
    };

    database field(s) to be queried against. Accepts an Array in addition to String, useful for applying search across multiple fields. Check examples at here.

    Note:

    1. This prop is optional only when enableAppbase prop is set to true in ReactiveBase component.
    2. The dataField property as DataField object is only available for ReactiveSearch version >= v3.21.0 and Appbase version v7.47.0.
  • size Number [optional] number of suggestions to show. Defaults to 10.

  • excludeFields String Array [optional] fields to be excluded in the suggestion's query when autoSuggest is true.

  • includeFields String Array [optional] fields to be included in the suggestion's query when autoSuggest is true.

  • enablePopularSuggestions bool [optional] Defaults to false. When enabled, it can be useful to curate search suggestions based on actual search queries that your users are making. Read more about it over here.

    Note:

    Popular Suggestions only work when enableAppbase prop is true.

  • popularSuggestionsConfig Object Specify additional options for fetching popular suggestions. It can accept the following keys:

    • size: number Maximum number of popular suggestions to return. Defaults to 5.
    • minCount: number Return only popular suggestions that have been searched at least minCount times. There is no default minimum count-based restriction.
    • minChars: number Return only popular suggestions that have minimum characters, as set in this property. There is no default minimum character-based restriction.
    • showGlobal: Boolean Defaults to true. When set to false, returns popular suggestions only based on the current user's past searches.
    • index: string Index(es) from which to return the popular suggestions from. Defaults to the entire cluster.

    Copy
        <search-box
            :enablePopularSuggestions="true"
            :popularSuggestionsConfig="{
                size: 5,
                minCount: 5,
                minChars: 3,
                showGlobal: false,
                index: "good-books-ds",  // further restrict the index to search on
            }"
        />
  • enablePredictiveSuggestions bool [optional] Defaults to false. When set to true, it predicts the next relevant words from a field's value based on the search query typed by the user. When set to false (default), the entire field's value would be displayed. This may not be desirable for long-form fields (where average words per field value is greater than 4 and may not fit in a single line).

  • enableRecentSuggestions Boolean Defaults to false. When set to true, recent searches are returned as suggestions as per the recent suggestions config (either defaults, or as set through recentSuggestionsConfig or via Recent Suggestions settings in the control plane). Appbase.io recommends defining a unique id(userId property) in appbaseConfig prop for each user to personalize the recent searches.

    Note: Please note that this feature only works when recordAnalytics is set to true in appbaseConfig.

  • recentSuggestionsConfig Object Specify additional options for fetching recent suggestions.

    It can accept the following keys:

    • size: number Maximum number of recent suggestions to return. Defaults to 5.
    • minHits: number Return only recent searches that returned at least minHits results. There is no default minimum hits-based restriction.
    • minChars: number Return only recent suggestions that have minimum characters, as set in this property. There is no default minimum character-based restriction.
    • index: string Index(es) from which to return the recent suggestions from. Defaults to the entire cluster.

    Copy
        <search-box
            :enableRecentSuggestions="true"
            "recentSuggestionsConfig="{
                size: 5,
                minHits: 5,
                minChars: 3,
                index: "good-books-ds",  // further restrict the index to search on
            }"
        />
  • aggregationField String [optional] One of the most important use-cases this enables is showing DISTINCT results (useful when you are dealing with sessions, events and logs type data). It utilizes composite aggregations which are newly introduced in ES v6 and offer vast performance benefits over a traditional terms aggregation. You can read more about it over here. You can access aggregationData using render slot as shown:

    Copy
    <template
    	slot="render"
    	slot-scope="{
            ...
            aggregationData
        }"
    >
    	...
    </template>

    If you are using an app with elastic search version less than 6, then defining this prop will result in error and you need to handle it manually using renderError slot.

    It is possible to override this query by providing customQuery.

    Note: This prop has been marked as deprecated starting v1.14.0. Please use the distinctField prop instead.

  • aggregationSize To set the number of buckets to be returned by aggregations.

    Note: This is a new feature and only available for appbase versions >= 7.41.0.

  • nestedField String [optional] Set the path of the nested type under which the dataField is present. Only applicable only when the field(s) specified in the dataField is(are) present under a nested type mapping.

  • title String or JSX [optional] set the title of the component to be shown in the UI.

  • defaultValue string [optional] preset the search query text in the search box.

  • value string [optional] sets the current value of the component. It sets the search query text (on mount and on update). Use this prop in conjunction with the change event.

  • fieldWeights Array [optional] set the search weight for the database fields, useful when dataField is an Array of more than one field. This prop accepts an array of numbers. A higher number implies a higher relevance weight for the corresponding field in the search results.

  • placeholder String [optional] set placeholder text to be shown in the component's input field. Defaults to "Search".

  • autosuggest Boolean [optional] set whether the autosuggest functionality should be enabled or disabled. Defaults to true. When set to false, it searches as user types, unless debounce is also set.

  • showIcon Boolean [optional] whether to display a search or custom icon in the input box. Defaults to true.

  • iconPosition String [optional] sets the position of the search icon. Can be set to either left or right. Defaults to right.

  • icon JSX [optional] set a custom search icon instead of the default icon 🔍

  • showClear Boolean [optional] show a clear text X icon. Defaults to true.

  • showFilter Boolean [optional] show as filter when a value is selected in a global selected filters view. Defaults to true.

  • showVoiceSearch Boolean [optional] show a voice icon in the searchbox to enable users to set voice input. Defaults to false.

  • showDistinctSuggestions Boolean [optional] Show 1 suggestion per document. If set to false multiple suggestions may show up for the same document as searched value might appear in multiple fields of the same document, this is true only if you have configured multiple fields in dataField prop. Defaults to true.

    Example if you have showDistinctSuggestions is set to false and have following configurations

    Copy
    // Your document:
    {
    	"name": "Warn",
    	"address": "Washington"
    }
    
    // Component:
    <SearchBox dataField=['name', 'address'] .../>
    
    // Search Query:
    "wa"

    Then there will be 2 suggestions from the same document as we have the search term present in both the fields specified in dataField.

    Copy
    Warn
    Washington

Note: Check the above concept in action over here.

  • filterLabel String [optional] An optional label to display for the component in the global selected filters view. This is only applicable if showFilter is enabled. Default value used here is componentId.
  • clearIcon JSX [optional] set a custom icon for clearing text instead of the default cross.
  • debounce Number [optional] set the milliseconds to wait before executing the query. Defaults to 0, i.e. no debounce.
  • highlight Boolean [optional] whether highlighting should be enabled in the returned results.
  • highlightField String or Array [optional] when highlighting is enabled, this prop allows specifying the fields which should be returned with the matching highlights. When not specified, it defaults to applying highlights on the field(s) specified in the dataField prop.
  • customHighlight Function [optional] a function which returns the custom highlight settings. It receives the props and expects you to return an object with the highlight key. Check out the technews demo where the SearchBox component uses a customHighlight as given below,
Copy
<template>
	<search-box
		componentId="title"
		highlight="true"
		:dataField="['title', 'text']"
		:customHighlight="getCustomHighlight"
	/>
</template>
<script>
	export default {
		name: 'app',
		methods: {
			getCustomHighlight: props => ({
				highlight: {
					pre_tags: ['<mark>'],
					post_tags: ['</mark>'],
					fields: {
						text: {},
						title: {},
					},
					number_of_fragments: 0,
				},
			}),
		},
	};
</script>
  • focusShortcuts Array<string | number> [optional] A list of keyboard shortcuts that focus the search box. Accepts key names and key codes. Compatible with key combinations separated using '+'. Defaults to ['/'].
  • autoFocus boolean [optional] When set to true, search box is auto-focused on page load. Defaults to false.
  • expandSuggestionsContainer boolean [optional] When set to false the width of suggestions dropdown container is limited to the width of searchbox input field. Defaults to true.
Copy
 <search-box
      expandSuggestionsContainer={false}
      ...
  >
      <img slot="addonBefore" src="..." />
      <img slot="addonAfter" src="..." />
  </data-sesarch>
  • queryFormat String [optional] Sets the query format, can be or or and. Defaults to or.

    • or returns all the results matching any of the search query text's parameters. For example, searching for "bat man" with or will return all the results matching either "bat" or "man".
    • On the other hand with and, only results matching both "bat" and "man" will be returned. It returns the results matching all of the search query text's parameters.
  • fuzziness String or Number [optional] Sets a maximum edit distance on the search parameters, can be 0, 1, 2 or "AUTO". Useful for showing the correct results for an incorrect search parameter by taking the fuzziness into account. For example, with a substitution of one character, fox can become box. Read more about it in the elastic search docs.

    Note:

    This prop doesn't work when the value of queryFormat prop is set to and.

  • innerRef Function [optional] The innerRef prop along with the ref prop can be used to access the reference of the input element that can be used to access/manipulate the native events or values for input element. For, an example the below snippet changes the type of the input element to search from the text.

Copy
<template>
	<search-box
		componentId="BookSensor"
		dataField="['original_title', 'original_title.search']"
		ref="search-box"
		innerRef="input"
	/>
</template>
<script>
	export default {
		name: 'app',
		mounted() {
			this.$refs['search-box'].$children[0].$refs['input'].type = 'search';
		},
	};
</script>
  • URLParams Boolean [optional] enable creating a URL query string param based on the search query text value. This is useful for sharing URLs with the component state. Defaults to false.
  • render Function|slot-scope [optional] You can render suggestions in a custom layout by using the render as a prop or a slot.
    It accepts an object with these properties:
    • loading: boolean indicates that the query is still in progress.
    • error: object An object containing the error info.
    • data: array An array of parsed suggestions obtained from the applied query.
    • rawData object An object of raw response as-is from elasticsearch query.
    • resultStats: object An object with the following properties which can be helpful to render custom stats:
      • numberOfResults: number Total number of results found
      • time: number Time taken to find total results (in ms)
      • hidden: number Total number of hidden results found
      • promoted: number Total number of promoted results found
    • value: string current search input value i.e the search query being used to obtain suggestions.
    • downshiftProps: object provides the following control props from downshift which can be used to bind list items with click/mouse events.
      • isOpen boolean Whether the menu should be considered open or closed. Some aspects of the downshift component respond differently based on this value (for example, if isOpen is true when the user hits "Enter" on the input field, then the item at the highlightedIndex item is selected).
      • getItemProps function Returns the props you should apply to any menu item elements you render.
      • getItemEvents function Returns the events you should apply to any menu item elements you render.
      • highlightedIndex number The index that should be highlighted.
    • triggerClickAnalytics: object method can be used to register click analytics for suggestions. It accepts two arguments, click position and document ID (required only if you're using rawData to render suggestions).

You can use SearchBox with render slot as shown:

Copy
<search-box
	class="result-list-container"
	categoryField="authors.raw"
	componentId="BookSensor"
	:dataField="['original_title', 'original_title.search']"
	:URLParams="true"
>
  <div
		class="suggestions"
		slot="render"
		slot-scope="{
			error,
			loading,
			downshiftProps: { isOpen, highlightedIndex, getItemProps, getItemEvents },
			data: suggestions,
		}"
	>
		<div v-if="loading">loading...</div>
		<ul v-if="isOpen">
			<template v-for="suggestion in suggestions">
				<li
					style="{ background-color: highlightedIndex ? 'grey' : 'transparent' }"
					v-bind="getItemProps({ item: suggestion })"
					v-on="getItemEvents({ item: suggestion })"
					:key="suggestion._id"
				>
					{{ suggestion.label }}
				</li>
			</template>
		</ul>
	</div>
</search-box>

Or you can also use render as prop.

Copy
<template>
	<search-box :render="render" />
</template>
<script>
	export default {
		name: 'app',
		methods: {
			render({
				error,

  • distinctField String [optional] This prop returns only the distinct value documents for the specified field. It is equivalent to the DISTINCT clause in SQL. It internally uses the collapse feature of Elasticsearch. You can read more about it over here.

  • distinctFieldConfig Object [optional] This prop allows specifying additional options to the distinctField prop. Using the allowed DSL, one can specify how to return K distinct values (default value of K=1), sort them by a specific order, or return a second level of distinct values. distinctFieldConfig object corresponds to the inner_hits key's DSL. You can read more about it over here.

    Note: In order to use the distinctField and distinctFieldConfig props, the enableAppbase prop must be set to true in ReactiveBase.

  • index String [optional] The index prop can be used to explicitly specify an index to query against for this component. It is suitable for use-cases where you want to fetch results from more than one index in a single ReactiveSearch API request. The default value for the index is set to the app prop defined in the ReactiveBase component.

    Note: This only works when enableAppbase prop is set to true in ReactiveBase.

Extending

SearchBox component can be extended to:

  1. customize the look and feel with className,
  2. update the underlying DB query with customQuery,
  3. connect with external interfaces using beforeValueChange, value-change and query-change,
  4. specify how search suggestions should be filtered using react prop.
Copy
<template>
	<search-box
		className="custom-class"
		:customQuery="getCustomQuery"
		:beforeValueChange="handleBeforeValueChange"
		:react="{
            and: ['pricingFilter', 'dateFilter'],
            or: ['searchFilter']

  • className String CSS class to be injected on the component container.

  • customQuery Function takes value and props as parameters and returns the data query to be applied to the component, as defined in Elasticsearch Query DSL. Note: customQuery is called on value changes in the SearchBox component as long as the component is a part of react dependency of at least one other component.

  • defaultQuery Function is a callback function that takes value and props as parameters and returns the data query to be applied to the source component, as defined in Elasticsearch Query DSL, which doesn't get leaked to other components. In simple words, defaultQuery prop allows you to modify the query to render the suggestions when autoSuggest is enabled. Read more about it here.

  • beforeValueChange Function is a callback function which accepts component's future value as a parameter and returns a promise. It is called everytime before a component's value changes. The promise, if and when resolved, triggers the execution of the component's query and if rejected, kills the query execution. This method can act as a gatekeeper for query execution, since it only executes the query after the provided promise has been resolved.

    Note:

    If you're using Reactivesearch version >= 1.1.0, beforeValueChange can also be defined as a synchronous function. value is updated by default, unless you throw an Error to reject the update. For example:

    Copy
    beforeValueChange = value => {
        // The update is accepted by default
    	if (value && value.toLowerCase().contains('Social')) {
    		// To reject the update, throw an error
    		throw Error('Search value should not contain social.');
    	}
    };
  • react Object specify dependent components to reactively update SearchBox's suggestions.

    • key String one of and, or, not defines the combining clause.
      • and clause implies that the results will be filtered by matches from all of the associated component states.
      • or clause implies that the results will be filtered by matches from at least one of the associated component states.
      • not clause implies that the results will be filtered by an inverse match of the associated component states.
    • value String or Array or Object
      • String is used for specifying a single component by its componentId.
      • Array is used for specifying multiple components by their componentId.
      • Object is used for nesting other key clauses.

Events

  • change function [optional] is an event that accepts component's current value as a parameter. It is called when you are using the value prop and the component's value changes. This event is useful to control the value updates of search input.

    Copy
    <template>
        <search-box
            value="value"
            @change="handleChange"
        />
    </template>
    
    <script>
    export default {
      name: 'app',
        data() {
            return {
                value: ""
            }
        },
        methods: {
            handleChange(value, triggerQuery, event) {
                this.value = value;
                // Trigger the search query to update the dependent components
                triggerQuery({
                  isOpen: false // To close the suggestions dropdown; optional
                })
            }
        }
    };
    </script>

Note:

If you're using the controlled behavior than it's your responsibility to call the triggerQuery method to update the query i.e execute the search query and update the query results in connected components by react prop. It is not mandatory to call the triggerQuery in onChange you can also call it in other input handlers like onBlur or onKeyPress. The triggerQuery method accepts an object with isOpen property (default to false) that can be used to control the opening state of the suggestion dropdown.

  • query-change is an event which accepts component's prevQuery and nextQuery as parameters. It is called everytime the component's query changes. This event is handy in cases where you want to generate a side-effect whenever the component's query would change.

  • value-change is an event which accepts component's current value as a parameter. It is called everytime the component's value changes. This event is handy in cases where you want to generate a side-effect on value selection. For example: You want to show a pop-up modal with the valid discount coupon code when a list item is selected in a "Discounted Price" SingleList.

  • value-selected is called when a search is performed either by pressing enter key or the input is blurred.

  • on-data gets triggered when either of data, rawData, aggregationData, loading and error changes. You can use a callback function to listen for the changes. The function receives data, rawData, aggregationData, loading and error as a single parameter object.

Copy
    <search-box
        componentId="BookSensor"
        // ... other props ...
        @on-data="(param) => { // do something }"
    />
  • error gets triggered in case of an error and provides the error object, which can be used for debugging or giving feedback to the user if needed.

The following events to the underlying input element:

  • blur
  • focus
  • key-press
  • key-down
  • key-up

Note:

  1. All these events accepts the triggerQuery as a second parameter which can be used to trigger the SearchBox query with the current selected value (useful to customize the search query execution).
  2. There is a known issue with key-press when autosuggest is set to true. It is recommended to use key-down for the consistency.
