The Orama Searchbox is a web component and can be used in any JavaScript framework, and even in vanilla JS and HTML.
$3
The following is an example of using the Orama Searchbox with Docusaurus on the client-side, using just HTML and JavaScript.
`html
`#### Usage in non React JSX
When using this way will get Typescript errors because the components are not recognized in the JSX namespace and in that case please add something like:
`ts
import {
RegisterSearchBoxProps,
RegisterSearchButtonProps,
} from "@orama/searchbox/dist/index.js";declare module "your-module" {
namespace JSX {
interface IntrinsicElements {
"orama-searchbox": RegisterSearchBoxParams;
"orama-search-button": RegisterSearchButtonParams;
}
}
}
`This will add them to the namespace and you are ready to go!
$3
`javascript
import { SearchBox } from "@orama/searchbox";
import { oramaInstance } from "somewhere";
import "@orama/searchbox/dist/index.css";export function MyPage() {
return (
);
}
`Searchbox Params
All of these can either be passed into the
RegisterSearchBox function or as props to the SearchBox component| Prop | Type | Default Value |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --- |
| oramaInstance | AnyOrama or OramaClient | null |
| showFullScreenOnMobile | boolean | false |
| colorScheme | "light", "dark" or "system" | system |
| themeConfig | ThemeConfig | undefined |
| searchInputPlaceholder | string | Search... |
| searchResultsPlaceholder | string | Search something... |
| noResultsTemplate | string | No results found for
term |
| show | boolean | false |
| keyboardNavigationHints | boolean | true |
| backdrop | boolean | false |
| showSearchLink | boolean | false |
| seeAllLink | SeeAllLinkProps | { url: '/search', label: 'See all results' } |
| resultsMap | ReturningProps | { path: 'path', title: 'title', description: 'title', section: 'section', category: 'category' } | |
| setResultTitle | (doc: DocsDocument) => string | null |
| setResultLink | (doc: DocsDocument) => string | null |
| onClose | () => void | |
| keepOpen | boolean | false |$3
This prop tells the searchbox how to display your results, we expect a result like:
`
{
path: "https://example.com"
title: "My example"
section: "Example Sites"
}
`But using the
resultsMap prop you can map your object to what the searchbox expects, let's say your hit looks something like:`js
{
name: "Sonic the Hedgehog 2",
description: "Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a 1992 platform game developed by Sega Technical Institute for the Sega Genesis.",
link: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2",
console: "Sega Genesis/Megadrive",
genre: "Platform"
}
`You could use a
resultsMap like so to have the searchbox return the correct values:`js
{
path: "link",
title: "name",
description: "description",
section: "genre",
category: "console"
}
`$3
The
setResultTitle parameter can be used to customize the title that is generated for each search result item. It's a function that receives the hit document and should return the string to be used. If not provided, the resultsMap.title will be used as the item title.$3
The
setResultLink parameter can be used to customize the link that is generated for each search result item. It's a function that receives the hit document and should return the URL to be used. If not provided, the resultsMap.path will be used as the item link.$3
If you want to group your results by a specific property, you can use the
facetProperty param. For example, if you want to group your results by category you can use the facetProperty param with the value category. The property used as facetProperty must be an enum.$3
colorScheme param can be one of light, dark, or system. This param is used to set the initial color scheme of the search box. It's optional and defaults to light.If
dark is passed, the search box will be rendered in dark mode.If
system is passed, the color scheme will be determined by the user's system preferences, if available, or it will default to light.light and dark color schemes include a set of predefined colors for the search box. You can choose to use the default colors or override them with your own. The themeConfig param can be used to override the default colors.$3
The
themeConfig prop is useful to customize the default colors of the Searchbox. You can pass an object of type ThemeConfig to the themeConfig prop to customize the colors of the Searchbox. The ThemeConfig type is defined as follows:`ts
type ThemeConfig = {
light: Record;
dark: Record;
};
`The
light and dark properties are objects that define the colors of the Searchbox in light and dark mode, respectively. The keys of these objects must be the CSS custom properties that we are using to style the Searchbox elements, and the values are the colors in hexadecimal format. The following example demonstrates how to customize the colors of the Searchbox:`tsx
const themeConfig = {
light: {
'--text-color-primary': '#54525B',
'--text-color-secondary': '#302F33',
'--text-color-tertiary': '#6D6B74',
'--background-color-primary': '#ffffff',
'--background-color-secondary': '#fafaff',
'--background-color-tertiary': '#f6f2ff',
'--border-color-primary': '#ccd5e0',
'--border-color-secondary': '#71717A',
'--border-color-accent': '#3451b2'
'--background-color-fourth': '#f6f6f7',
'--icon-color-primary': '#54525b',
'--icon-color-secondary': '#6d6b74',
'--backdrop-bg-color': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50)'
},
dark: {
'--text-color-primary': '#d4d4d8',
'--text-color-secondary': '#71717a',
'--text-color-tertiary': '#a1a1aa',
'--background-color-primary': '#18181b',
'--background-color-secondary': '#27272a',
'--background-color-tertiary': '#09090b',
'--border-color-primary': '#27272a',
'--border-color-secondary': '#71717A',
'--border-color-accent': '#3451b2',
'--icon-color-primary': '#d4d4d8',
'--icon-color-secondary': '#71717a',
'--backdrop-bg-color': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50)'
}
}
`You don't need to define all the colors, only the ones you want to customize. The rest of the colors will be set to the default values.
$3
The
sellAllLink parameter can be used to override the default url and label of the "See all results" link. The label can be a function that gets count and term as parameters.`js
{
url: '/my-all-results-page',
label: (count: string, term?: string | undefined) => See all ${count} results for ${term}
}
`$3
The
SearchButton component can be used in conjunction with the SearchBox to trigger the search functionality. Here's an example of how to use it in vanilla JS and React.#### In Vanilla JS
The following is an example of using the Orama Searchbox and SearchButton with Docusaurus on the client-side, using just HTML and JavaScript.
`html
`#### With React
`javascript
import { SearchBox, SearchButton } from "@orama/searchbox";
import { oramaInstance } from "somewhere";
import "@orama/searchbox/dist/index.css";export function MyPage() {
return (
);
}
`#### SearchButton params
| Prop | Type | Default Value |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| fullWidth | boolean | false |
| label | string | "Search" |
| colorScheme | "light" or "dark" | "light" |
| themeConfig | ThemeConfig | undefined |
| onClick | void | undefined |
By default, clicking the
SearchButton triggers the opening of the SearchBox. However, you can customize this behavior by providing your own function to the onClick prop.The
onClick prop accepts a function that is called when the button is clicked. This function should handle any additional logic you want to execute when the button is clicked.Here's an example of how to use the
onClick prop:`jsx
onClick={() => {
// Add your custom logic here
console.log("SearchButton was clicked!");
}}
/>
`In this example, clicking the SearchButton will log 'SearchButton was clicked!' to the console, in addition to triggering the opening of the SearchBox. You will replace the console.log statement with your actual logic.
#### themeConfig
You can customize the colors of the SearchButton component by using the
themeConfig params. You don't need to pass all the colors, just the ones you want to change.`tsx
const themeConfig = {
light: {
"--search-btn-text-color": "#54525B",
"--search-btn-text-color-hover": "#54525B",
"--search-btn-text-color-focus": "#54525B",
"--search-btn-background-color": "#FFFFFF",
"--search-btn-background-color-hover": "#FFFFFF",
"--search-btn-background-color-focus": "#FFFFFF",
"--search-btn-border-color": "transparent",
"--search-btn-border-color-hover": "#a8b1ff",
"--search-btn-border-color-focus": "#a8b1ff",
"--search-btn-icon-color": "#71717A",
},
dark: {
"--search-btn-text-color": "#D4D4D8",
"--search-btn-text-color-hover": "#D4D4D8",
"--search-btn-text-color-focus": "#D4D4D8",
"--search-btn-background-color": "#09090B",
"--search-btn-background-color-hover": "#09090B",
"--search-btn-background-color-focus": "#09090B",
"--search-btn-border-color": "transparent",
"--search-btn-border-color-hover": "#a8b1ff",
"--search-btn-border-color-focus": "#a8b1ff",
"--search-btn-icon-color": "#71717A",
},
};

You can use the
SearchAllResults component to display search results on a dedicated page, such as /search?q=term.
It displays the search results and optionally facets and an AI generated search summary.#### SearchAllResults params
| Prop | Type | Default Value |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| colorScheme | "light", "dark" or "system" | "light" |
| themeConfig | ThemeConfig | undefined |
| title | string | "Search results for" |
| oramaInstance | AnyOrama or OramaClient | null |
| resultsMap | ReturningProps |
{ path: 'path', title: 'title', description: 'title', section: 'section', category: 'category' } |
| facetProperty | string | undefined |
| renderItem | Nullable<(doc: DocsDocument) => h.JSX.Element> | null |$3
You can use the
facetProperty parameter to specify the property to use for faceting. This is optional, and if not provided, the search results will not be faceted.$3
You can use the
renderItem` parameter to specify a custom rendering function for an additional item to display in each search result.Copyright OramaSearch Inc. 2024. Licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
