React InstantSearch

react-instantsearch

React InstantSearch is an open-source React library that lets you create an instant search result experience using Algolia’s search API. It is part of the InstantSearch family:

React InstantSearch | InstantSearch.js | Vue InstantSearch | InstantSearch Android | InstantSearch iOS

Why

You should be using React InstantSearch if you want to:

  • Design search experiences with best practices
  • Customize your components at will
  • Follow React principles

Note: If you are working with React Native, or otherwise do not use the DOM, check out react-instantsearch-core instead.

Installation

React InstantSearch is available on the npm registry. It relies on algoliasearch to communicate with Algolia APIs.

yarn add algoliasearch react-instantsearch
# or
npm install algoliasearch react-instantsearch

Getting started

Using React InstantSearch is as simple as adding these components to your app:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import algoliasearch from 'algoliasearch/lite';
import { InstantSearch, SearchBox, Hits } from 'react-instantsearch';

const searchClient = algoliasearch(
  'latency',
  '6be0576ff61c053d5f9a3225e2a90f76'
);

const App = () => (
  <InstantSearch indexName="bestbuy" searchClient={searchClient}>
    <SearchBox />
    <Hits />
  </InstantSearch>
);
