Actions

Stack Serverless

To update the state, you can use actions below. Actions are functions that update the Request State and performs an API request.

setSearchTerm("search term");

To get access to the actions within your component, you must wrap your component with our context HOCs.

// Selects `searchTerm` and `setSearchTerm` for use in Component withSearch(({ searchTerm, setSearchTerm }) => ({ searchTerm, setSearchTerm }))(Component);

See WithSearch & withSearch for more information.

There are certain cases where you may need to apply one or more actions at a time. Search UI intelligently batches actions into a single API call.

For example, if you need to apply two filters at once, it is perfectly acceptable to write the following code:

addFilter("states", "Alaska", "any"); addFilter("world_heritage_site", "true");

This will only result in a single API call.

addFilter( name: string, value: FilterValue, type: FilterType = "all", persistent?: Boolean )

Add a filter in addition to current filters values.

addFilter("states", "Alaska"); addFilter("isPublished", true); addFilter("rating", 1); addFilter("states", ["Alaska", "California"], "all", true); addFilter("states", ["Alaska", "California"], "any", true); addFilter("published", { name: "published", from: "2020-01-01", to: "2020-12-31" }); addFilter("rating", { name: "badRating", from: 1, to: 6 });
