React integration for the MiniSearch client side full-text search library.
First, make sure you have a compatible version of React and of MiniSearch installed.
Then, install via NPM or Yarn:
# With NPM:
npm install react-minisearch
# Or with Yarn:
yarn add react-minisearch
There are three main ways to use react-minisearch
: the useMiniSearch
hook, the withMiniSearch
higher-order component, or the WithMiniSearch
wrapper component.
All three way take the following arguments (or props for the wrapper component):
add
/addAll
/remove
/removeAll
/discard
, etc.MiniSearch

// Documents to search amongst
const documents = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Agata' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Finn' },
// …etc
]
// See MiniSearch for documentation on options
const miniSearchOptions = { fields: ['name'] }
const MyComponent = () => {
const { search, searchResults } = useMiniSearch(documents, miniSearchOptions)
const handleSearchChange = (event) => {
search(event.target.value)
}
return (

<input type='text' onChange={handleSearchChange} placeholder='Search…' />

<h3>Results:</h3>
{
searchResults && searchResults.map((result, i) => {
return <li key={i}>{ result.name }</li>
})
}

)
}

{ id: 2, name: 'Finn' },

// See MiniSearch for documentation on options
const miniSearchOptions = { fields: ['name'] }
const MyComponent = () => (

}

}
}
</WithMiniSearch>
)
The complete set of props that are provided by react-minisearch
is the same
for all three ways (useMiniSearch
, withMiniSearch
, or WithMiniSearch
):
search(query: string, searchOptions?: SearchOptions) => void
: function to
be called in order to perform the search
searchResults: T[] | null
: array of search results, or null
when no
search was performed or search was cleared
rawResults: SearchResult[] | null
: array of raw search results from
MiniSearch, including scores and match information, or null
when no search
was performed or search was cleared
clearSearch() => void
: function to be called in order to clear the search
(setting searchResults
to null
)
autoSuggest(query: string, searchOptions?: SearchOptions) => void
:
function to be called in order to obtain auto suggestions
suggestions: Suggestion[] | null
: array of auto suggestions, or null
when auto suggestions are not used or cleared
clearSuggestions() => void
: function to be called in order to clear the
suggestions (setting suggestions
to null
)
add(document: T) => void
: function to add a new document to the index
addAll(documents: T[]) => void
: function to add several new documents to
the index in bulk
addAllAsync(documents: T[], options?: object) => Promise<void>
: same as
addAll
, but works asynchronously and in batches to avoid blocking the UI
remove(document: T) => void
: function to remove a document from the index
removeById(id: any) => void
: function to remove a document from the index
by its ID
removeAll(documents?: T[]) => void
: function to remove several documents,
or all documents, from the index
discard(id: any) => void
: discard a document by its ID (same as
removeById
)
discardAll(ids: readonly any[]) => void
: discard several documents at
once, by their ID
replace(document: T) => void
: replace an existing document with a new
version of it
isIndexing: boolean
: set to true
when indexing via addAllAsync
is in
progress, false
otherwise
miniSearch: MiniSearch
: the MiniSearch
instance, for the (rare) cases
when it is necessary to use it directly
In this list, the type T
is a generic type that refers to the type of the document being indexed.
Many of these props correspond to methods on the MiniSearch
class, as
documented in the MiniSearch
library.
