About this widget

The searchState object is created by React InstantSearch internally. Every widget inside the library has its own way of updating it. To give you a sense of what each widget changes, here’s an example searchState:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

const searchState = {
  range: {
    price: {
      min: 20,
      max: 3000
    }
  },
  configure: {
    aroundLatLngViaIP: true,
  },
  refinementList: {
    fruits: ['lemon', 'orange']
  },
  hierarchicalMenu: {
    products: 'Laptops > Surface'
  },
  menu: {
    brands: 'Sony'
  },
  multiRange: {
    rank: '2:5'
  },
  toggle: {
    freeShipping: true
  },
  hitsPerPage: 10,
  sortBy: 'mostPopular',
  query: 'ora',
  page: 2
}

If you are performing a search on multiple indices using the index-widget component, you’ll get the following shape:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
const searchState = {
  query: 'ora', //shared state between all indices
  page: 2, //shared state between all indices
  indices: {
    index1: {
      configure: {
        hitsPerPage: 3,
      },
    },
    index2: {
      configure: {
        hitsPerPage: 10,
      },
    },
  },
}
