Algolia Search Integration

Patterns

React InstantSearch with Hooks

Modern React InstantSearch setup using hooks for type-ahead search.

Uses react-instantsearch-hooks-web package with algoliasearch client. Widgets are components that can be customized with classnames.

Key hooks:

  • useSearchBox: Search input handling
  • useHits: Access search results
  • useRefinementList: Facet filtering
  • usePagination: Result pagination
  • useInstantSearch: Full state access

Next.js Server-Side Rendering

SSR integration for Next.js with react-instantsearch-nextjs package.

Use <InstantSearchNext> instead of <InstantSearch> for SSR. Supports both Pages Router and App Router (experimental).

Key considerations:

  • Set dynamic = 'force-dynamic' for fresh results
  • Handle URL synchronization with routing prop
  • Use getServerState for initial state

Data Synchronization and Indexing

Indexing strategies for keeping Algolia in sync with your data.

Three main approaches:

  1. Full Reindexing - Replace entire index (expensive)
  2. Full Record Updates - Replace individual records
  3. Partial Updates - Update specific attributes only

Best practices:

  • Batch records (ideal: 10MB, 1K-10K records per batch)
  • Use incremental updates when possible
  • partialUpdateObjects for attribute-only changes
  • Avoid deleteBy (computationally expensive)
