This is the React InstantSearch v7 documentation. React InstantSearch v7 is the latest version of React InstantSearch and the stable version of React InstantSearch Hooks.

If you were using React InstantSearch v6, you can upgrade to v7.

If you were using React InstantSearch Hooks, you can still use the React InstantSearch v7 documentation, but you should check the upgrade guide for necessary changes.

Hook

React InstantSearch let you create your own UI for the <Stats> widget with useStats(). Hooks provide APIs to access the widget state and interact with InstantSearch.

The useStats() Hook returns APIs.

Usage

First, create your React component:

import { useStats } from 'react-instantsearch';

function CustomStats() {
  const {
    hitsPerPage,
    nbHits,
    areHitsSorted,
    nbSortedHits,
    nbPages,
    page,
    processingTimeMS,
    query,
  } = useStats();

  return <>{/* Your JSX */}</>;
}

Then, render the widget:

<CustomStats />

APIs

Hooks return APIs, such as state and functions. You can use them to build your UI and interact with React InstantSearch.

Parameter Description
hitsPerPage
type: number

The maximum number of hits returned per page.

nbHits
type: number

The number of hits matched by the query.

areHitsSorted
type: boolean

Indicated whether Relevant sort is applied to the result.

nbSortedHits
type: number

The number of sorted hits from Relevant sort.

nbPages
type: number

The number of returned pages. Calculation is based on the total number of hits (nbHits) divided by the number of hits per page (hitsPerPage), rounded up to the nearest integer.

page
type: number

The position of the current page (zero-based).

processingTimeMS
type: number

The time the server took to process the request, in milliseconds. This doesn’t include network time.

query
