Components: Algolia
Overview
This directory contains a custom components for integrating Algolia's search functionality into our application. The components here are tailored to meet our specific requirements, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Creation Process
The components/Algolia/
directory was created to address our need for a custom search implementation using Algolia Docsearch. Here’s a brief overview of how this directory was created:
-
Source Files:
We sourced most of the files from Algolia's DocSearch repository, specifically extracting the base for our <Hit>
component from their Results.tsx file, which includes the core rendering logic and styles.
-
Customization:
- The components were modified to fit our needs. This included changing specific functionalities and adapting styles to match our application's design.
- Most notably, we created a custom
<Hit>
component to tailor the display of search results.
-
Removal of Unused Code: We eliminated unnecessary parts of the original codebase that were not required and were incompatible with our implementation.
-
Minor adaptation:
- While copying the original source code, we encountered issues with types that were not exported, requiring additional modifications to the components to ensure compatibility.
