Add server side hydration to Algolia Search

1. Add react-instantsearch-hooks-server package to your project

yarn add react-instantsearch-hooks-server

or

npm install react-instantsearch-hooks-server

1. Add the new serverState property to the SearchResultProps type

type SearchResultProps = DefaultPageQuery &
  ProductListQuery &
  ProductFiltersQuery &
  CategorySearchQuery & {
   filterTypes: FilterTypes
   params: ProductListParams
+   serverState?: unknown
   }

1. Add the getServerState method from the react-instantsearch-hooks-server package to the imports of your search page

...
import { getServerState } from 'react-instantsearch-hooks-server'
...

1. Assign the result of the getServerState method to the serverState attribute inside of the return statement.

return {
    props: {
      ...(await page).data,
      ...(await products).data,
      ...(await filters).data,
      ...(await categories)?.data,
      ...(await layout)?.data,
      filterTypes: await filterTypes,
      params: productListParams,
      up: { href: '/', title: 'Home' },
      apolloState: await conf.then(() => client.cache.extract()),
+     serverState: await getServerState(<SearchContext rendersInsideNextjs={false} />, {
+      renderToString,
+     }),
    },
    revalidate: 60 * 20,
  }

1. Add the serverState to the SearchContext component.

+ const { products, categories, params, filters, filterTypes, serverState } = props
  const search = params.url.split('/')[1]
  const totalSearchResults = (categories?.items?.length ?? 0) + (products?.total_count ?? 0)
  const noSearchResults = search && (!products || (products.items && products?.items?.length <= 0))

  return (
    <>
      <PageMeta
        title={
          search
            ? i18n._(/* i18n */ 'Results for ‘{search}’', { search })
            : i18n._(/* i18n */ 'Search')
        }
        metaRobots={['noindex']}
        canonical='/search'
      />

+     <SearchContext serverProps={serverState}>
