getAlgoliaResults
The getAlgoliaResults
function lets you query one or several Algolia indices.
Using getAlgoliaResults
lets Autocomplete batch all queries using the same search client into a single network call, and thus minimize search unit consumption. It also works out of the box with the components
exposed in templates.
Example
This example uses the function along with the algoliasearch
API client.

import { liteClient as algoliasearch } from 'algoliasearch/lite';
import { autocomplete, getAlgoliaResults } from '@algolia/autocomplete-js';
const searchClient = algoliasearch(
'latency',

},
});
When using getAlgoliaFacets
and getAlgoliaResults
with the same search client in different sources or plugins, Autocomplete batches all queries into a single network call to Algolia. If you’re using the same search client for different sources or plugins, make sure to use the same instance to leverage the internal cache and batching mechanism.
Parameters
searchClient
|
type: SearchClient
Required
The initialized Algolia search client. |
queries
|
type: MultipleQueriesQuery[]
Required
The queries to perform. |
queries ➔ queries
indexName

type: string
Required
The index name to search into. |
||
query
|
type: string
The query to search for. |
||
params

type: SearchParameters
Algolia search parameters. These are the default search parameters. You can leave them as is and specify other parameters, or override them.

transformResponse
|
type: (response: { results: Array<SearchResponse<THit> | SearchForFacetValuesResponse>, hits: MaybeArray<Hit<THit>[]>, facetHits: MaybeArray<FacetHit[]> }) => MaybeArray<Hit<THit>[] | FacetHit[]>
The function to transform the Algolia response before passing it to the Autocomplete state. You have access to the full Algolia results, as well as the pre-computed hits and facet hits. This is useful to manipulate the hits, or store data from the results in the context. This is the default implementation:
