uiState

About this widget

You are currently reading the documentation for InstantSearch.js V4. Read our migration guide to learn how to upgrade from V3 to V4. You can still access the V3 documentation for this page.

The uiState object is created by InstantSearch internally. Every widget inside the library has its own way of updating it.

In the context of routing, the object shape of routeState is completely up to you, but must be based on the keys in the uiState. Please see the example implementation in our routing guide for details.

Example

Replace YourIndexName with the name of your Algolia index.
