SortBy

Shows a list of indices for alternative sorting or ranking of search results.

About this widget

This widget displays a list of indices, allowing a user to change the way hits are sorting (with replica indices). Another common use case for this widget is to let users switch between different indices.

For this widget to work, you must define all indices that you pass down as options as replicas of the main .

Examples

Dart

class SearchSortBy extends StatefulWidget {
  const SearchSortBy({
    super.key,
    required this.searcher,
    required this.sorts,
    required this.selected,
  });

  final HitsSearcher searcher; // can be lifted up (w/ callback)
  final Map<String, String> sorts;
  final String selected;

  @override
  State<SearchSortBy> createState() => _SearchSortByState();
}

class _SearchSortByState extends State<SearchSortBy> {
  late String selected = widget.selected;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Card(
      child: DropdownButton(
        value: selected,
        items: widget.sorts.keys
            .map((sort) => DropdownMenuItem(
                  value: sort,
                  child: Text(sort),
                ))
            .toList(),
        onChanged: (value) {
          setState(() => selected = value!);
          widget.searcher.applyState(
              (state) => state.copyWith(indexName: widget.sorts[value]!));
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}
