Customize the UI - connectNumericMenu

If you want to create your own UI of the NumericMenu widget or use another UI library, you can use connectors.

Connectors are higher-order components. They encapsulate the logic for a specific kind of widget and they provide a way to interact with the InstantSearch context.

They have an outer component API that we call exposed props, and they provide some other props to the wrapped components which are called the provided props.

It’s a 3-step process:

// 1. Create a React component
const NumericMenu = () => {
  // return the DOM output
};

// 2. Connect the component using the connector
const CustomNumericMenu = connectNumericMenu(NumericMenu);

// 3. Use your connected widget
<CustomNumericMenu />

See code examples

Create a React component

const NumericMenu = ({
  object[] items,
  string currentRefinement,
  function refine,
  function createURL,
}) => {
  // return the DOM output
};

Provided Props

items
type: object[]

The list of items the widget can display, with each item:

  • label: string: the label of the range.
  • value: string: the value of the range with the shape "start:end". When start is not applied, it’s ":end", same with "start:". When neither is applied, it’s an empty string.
  • isRefined: boolean: whether or not the value is currently refined.
  • noRefinement: boolean: whether or not the range contains results.

    ))}
  </ul>
);
currentRefinement
type: string

The currently applied refinement. It is a string with the shape "start:end". When start is not applied, it’s ":end", same with "start:". When neither is applied, it’s an empty string.
