Svelte Algolia Instantsearch
A Svelte component library for Algolia InstantSearch.js
Overview:
svelte-algolia-instantsearch is a community-developed wrapper around instantsearch.js for Svelte. It is not officially affiliated or backed by Algolia. It aims to provide a similar API to react-instantsearch-hooks-web for Svelte. This library is specifically designed to work with SvelteKit, which is now the default when bootstrapping a Svelte project.
Features:
- Installation: Provides a guide on how to install the theme.
- Basic usage: Offers basic usage instructions for the theme.
- Compatibility with SvelteKit SSR: Provides information on the compatibility of the theme with SvelteKit SSR.
- Components: Offers pre-made components that can be used to build a search UI, including Breadcrumb, Configure, ClearRefinements, CurrentRefinements, DynamicWidgets, HierarchicalMenu, Highlight, Hits, HitsPerPage, Index, InfiniteHits, Menu, Pagination, PoweredBy, RangeInput, RefinementList, SearchBox, Snippet, SortBy, Stats, and ToggleRefinement.
- API: Includes the connect function, which creates and adds a widget to the InstantSearch instance and returns a Svelte readable store.
- getInstantSearchContext: Returns the instance of InstantSearch that was instantiated by the
<InstantSearch>component. This can be useful when using the instantsearch.js API directly, such as adding a custom middleware.
