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 instead of 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)
