DataSearch creates a search box UI component that is connected to one or more database fields.

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.

Props

componentId

Type Optional
String No

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

endpoint

Type Optional
Object Yes

endpoint prop provides the ability to query a user-defined backend service for this component, overriding the data endpoint configured in the ReactiveBase component. Works only when enableAppbase is true. Accepts the following properties:

  • url String [Required] URL where the data cluster is hosted.
  • headers Object [optional]
    set custom headers to be sent with each server request as key/value pairs.
  • method String [optional]
    set method of the API request.
  • body Object [optional]
    request body of the API request. When body isn't set and method is POST, the request body is set based on the component's configured props.
  • Overrides the endpoint property defined in ReactiveBase.
  • If required, use transformResponse prop to transform response in component-consumable format.

mode

Type Optional
String Yes

DataSearch component offers two modes of usage, select & tag. When mode is set to tag DataSearch allows selecting multiple suggestions. Defaults to select.

Copy
<DataSearch
    componentId="searchSensor"
    // ... other props
    mode="tag"
/>

dataField

Type Optional
string | Array<string | DataField*> No

index field(s) to be connected to the component’s UI view. DataSearch 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

Type Optional
Number Yes

number of suggestions to show. Defaults to 10.

aggregationField

Type Optional
String Yes

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 prop as shown:

Copy
<DataSearch
    aggregationField="original_title.keyword"
    render={({aggregationData}) => {...}}
/>

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

It is possible to override this query by providing defaultQuery or customQuery.

Note: This prop has been marked as deprecated starting v3.18.0. 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

Type Optional
String Yes

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

Type Optional
String or JSX Yes

set the title of the component to be shown in the UI.

defaultValue

Type Optional
String or Array<String> Yes

set the initial search query text on mount.

Data type is Array when mode prop is set to tag.

value

Type Optional
String or Array<String> Yes

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 onChange prop.

Data type is Array when mode prop is set to tag.

enableSynonyms

Type Optional
bool Yes

Defaults to true, can be used to disable/enable the synonyms behavior for the search query. Read more about it here

Note:

This property only works with ReactiveSearch API i.e when enableAppbase is set to true in ReactiveBase component.

enableQuerySuggestions

Type Optional
bool Yes

This prop has been marked as deprecated starting v3.12.6. Please use the enablePopularSuggestions prop instead.

enablePopularSuggestions

Type Optional
bool Yes

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.

enableRecentSearches

Type Optional
Boolean Yes

Defaults to false. If set to true then users will see the top recent searches as the default suggestions. 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.

enablePredictiveSuggestions

Type Optional
bool Yes

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).

downShiftProps

Type Optional
Object Yes

allow passing props directly to the underlying Downshift component. You can read more about Downshift props here.

fieldWeights [deprecated]

Type Optional
Array Yes

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.

Note: The fieldWeights property has been marked as deprecated in v3.21.0 of ReactiveSearch and v7.47.0 of Appbase and would be removed in the next major release. We recommend you to use the dataField property to define the weights.

defaultSuggestions

Type Optional
Array Yes

preset search suggestions to be shown on focus when the search box does not have any search query text set. Accepts an array of objects each having a label and value property. The label can contain either String or an HTML element.

enableDefaultSuggestions

        'post_tags': ['</mark>'],
        'fields': {
            'text': {},
            'title': {},
        },
        'number_of_fragments': 0,
    }}
/>

highlightField

Type Optional
String or Array Yes

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

Type Optional
Function Yes

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 DataSearch component uses a customHighlight as given below,

Copy
<DataSearch
    componentId="title"
    dataField={['title', 'text']}
    highlight
    customHighlight={props => ({
        highlight: {
            pre_tags: ['<mark>'],
            post_tags: ['</mark>'],
            fields: {

Type Optional
String Yes

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

Type Optional
String or Number Yes

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.

showFilter

Type Optional
Boolean Yes

show as filter when a value is selected in a global selected filters view. Defaults to true.

showDistinctSuggestions

Type Optional
Boolean Yes

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:
<DataSearch dataField={['name', 'address']} {...props} />

// 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.

showVoiceSearch

Type Optional
Boolean Yes

show a voice icon in the searchbox to enable users to set voice input. Defaults to false.

getMicInstance

Type Optional
Function Yes

You can pass a callback function to get the instance of SpeechRecognition object, which can be used to override the default configurations.

renderMic

Type Optional
String or JSX or Function Yes

can we used to render the custom mic option.
It accepts an object with the following properties:

  • handleClick: function needs to be called when the mic option is clicked.
  • status: string is a constant which can have one of these values:
    INACTIVE - mic is in inactive state i.e not listening

    }}

onChange

Type Optional
function Yes

is a callback function which 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 prop is used to implement the controlled component behavior.

Copy
<DataSearch
    value={this.state.value}
    onChange={(value, triggerQuery, event) => {
        this.setState(
            {
                value,
            },
            () => triggerQuery(),
        );
    }}
/>

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.

onSuggestions

Type Optional
Function Yes

You can pass a callback function to listen for the changes in suggestions. The function receives suggestions list.

onError

Type Optional
Function Yes

You can pass a callback function that 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.

recentSearchesIcon

Type Optional
JSX Yes

You can use a custom icon in place of the default icon for the recent search items that are shown when enableRecentSearches prop is set to true. You can also provide styles using the recent-search-icon key in the innerClass prop.

Copy
    <DataSearch
        {...props}
        enableRecentSearches
        innerClass={{
            'recent-search-icon': '...',
        }}
        recentSearchesIcon={<RecentIcon />}
    />

popularSearchesIcon

Type Optional
JSX Yes

You can use a custom icon in place of the default icon for the popular searches that are shown when enablePopularSuggestions prop is set to true. You can also provide styles using the popular-search-icon key in the innerClass prop.

Copy
    <DataSearch
        {...props}
        enablePopularSuggestions
        innerClass={{
            'popular-search-icon': '...'
        }}
        popularSearchesIcon={<PopularIcon />}
    />

distinctField

Type Optional
String Yes

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

Type Optional
Object Yes

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.

Copy
<DataSearch
	{...props}
	distinctField="authors.keyword"
	distinctFieldConfig={{
		inner_hits: {
			name: 'most_recent',
			size: 5,
			sort: [{ timestamp: 'asc' }],
		},
		max_concurrent_group_searches: 4,
	}}
/>
Copy
> Note: In order to use the `distinctField` and `distinctFieldConfig` props, the `enableAppbase` prop must be set to true in `ReactiveBase`.

Demo


Styles

DataSearch component supports an innerClass prop to provide styles to the sub-components of DataSearch. These are the supported keys:

  • title
  • input
  • list
  • recent-search-icon
  • popular-search-icon
  • selected-tag

Read more about it here.

Extending

DataSearch component can be extended to:

  1. customize the look and feel with className, style,
  2. update the underlying DB query with customQuery,
  3. connect with external interfaces using beforeValueChange, onValueChange, onValueSelected and onQueryChange,
  4. specify how search suggestions should be filtered using react prop,
  5. use your own function to render suggestions using parseSuggestion prop. It expects an object back for each suggestion having keys label and value. The query is run against the value key and label is used for rendering the suggestions. label can be either String or JSX. For example,
Copy
<DataSearch
  {...props}
  parseSuggestion={(suggestion) => ({
    label: (
        <div>
            {suggestion._source.original_title} by
            <span style={{ color: 'dodgerblue', marginLeft: 5 }}>
                {suggestion._source.authors}
            </span>
        </div>
    ),
    value: suggestion._source.original_title,
    source: suggestion._source  // for onValueSelected to work with parseSuggestion
  })}
/>
  • it's also possible to take control of rendering individual suggestions with parseSuggestion prop or the entire suggestions rendering using the render prop. Check the custom suggestions recipe for more info.
  1. add the following synthetic events to the underlying input element:

    • onBlur
    • onFocus
    • onKeyPress
    • onKeyDown
    • onKeyUp
    • autoFocus

    Note:

    1. All these events accepts the triggerQuery as a second parameter which can be used to trigger the DataSearch query with the current selected value (useful to customize the search query execution).
    2. There is a known issue with onKeyPress when autosuggest is set to true. It is recommended to use onKeyDown for the consistency.
Copy
<DataSearch
  {...props}
  className="custom-class"
  style={{"paddingBottom": "10px"}}
  customQuery={
    function(value, props) {
      return {
        query: {
            match: {
                data_field: "this is a test"
            }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  beforeValueChange={

className

Type Optional
String Yes

CSS class to be injected on the component container.

style

Type Optional
Object Yes

CSS styles to be applied to the DataSearch component.

customQuery

Type Optional
Function Yes

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 DataSearch component as long as the component is a part of react dependency of at least one other component.

defaultQuery

Type Optional
Function Yes

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

Type Optional
Function Yes

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 >= 3.3.7, 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.');
    }
};

onValueChange

Type Optional
Function Yes

is a callback function which accepts component's current value as a parameter. It is called everytime the component's value changes. This prop 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 user searches for a product in a DataSearch.

onValueSelected

Type Optional
Function Yes

is called with the value selected via user interaction. It works only with autosuggest and is called whenever a suggestion is selected or a search is performed by pressing enter key. It also passes the cause of action and the source object if the cause of action was 'SUGGESTION_SELECT'. The possible causes are:

  • 'SUGGESTION_SELECT'
  • 'ENTER_PRESS'
  • 'CLEAR_VALUE'
  • 'SEARCH_ICON_CLICK'

onQueryChange

Type Optional
Function Yes

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

react

Type Optional
Object Yes

specify dependent components to reactively update DataSearch'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.

index

Type Optional
String Yes

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.

focusShortcuts

Type Optional
`Array<string number>`

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

Type Optional
boolean Yes

When set to true, search box is auto-focused on page load. Defaults to false.

addonBefore

Type Optional
`string JSX`

The HTML markup displayed before (on the left side of) the searchbox input field. Users can use it to render additional actions/ markup, eg: a custom search icon hiding the default.

Copy
 <DataSearch
        showIcon={false}
        addonBefore={
          <img
            src="https://img.icons8.com/cute-clipart/64/000000/search.png"
            height="30px"
          />
        }
        id="search-component"
        ...
 />

addonAfter

Type Optional
`string JSX`

The HTML markup displayed after (on the right side of) the searchbox input field. Users can use it to render additional actions/ markup, eg: a custom search icon hiding the default.

Copy
 <DataSearch
        showIcon={false}
        addonAfter={
          <img
            src="https://img.icons8.com/cute-clipart/64/000000/search.png"
            height="30px"
          />
        }
        id="search-component"
        ...
 />

expandSuggestionsContainer

Type Optional
boolean Yes

When set to false the width of suggestions dropdown container is limited to the width of searchbox input field. Defaults to true.

          <img ... />
        }
        addonAfter={
          <img ... />
        }
        id="search-component"
        ...
 />

renderSelectedTags
