default
The slot to override the complete DOM output of the widget.When you implement this slot, none of the other slots will change the output, as the default slot surrounds them.Scope
  • currentRefinement: string. The current value of the query.
  • indices: object[]. The list of indices.
  • refine: (string) => void. The function to change the query.
The indices contain their hits and results, and the main index in first position. You can leverage the highlighting feature of Algolia through the highlight widget (see below). Each index is provided with:
  • indexName: string. The name of the index.
  • indexId: string. The id of the index.
  • hits: object[]. The resolved hits from the index matching the query.
  • results: object. The full results object from the Algolia API.
  • sendEvent: (eventType, hit, eventName) => void. The function to send click or conversion events. The view event is automatically sent when the connector renders hits. You can learn more about the insights middleware.
    • eventType: 'click' | 'conversion'
    • hit: Hit | Hit[]
    • eventName: string
