type: string[]

<ais-current-refinements

transform-items
type: function
default: items => items
Optional

Receives the items and is called before displaying them. Should return a new array with the same shape as the original array. Useful for transforming, removing, or reordering items.

In addition, the full results data is available, which includes all regular response parameters, as well as parameters from the helper (for example disjunctiveFacetsRefinements).

When using an array, take steps to avoid creating infinite loops. When you use an array as a prop, it causes the widget to re-register on every render, and this can sometimes cause these infinite loops.

Customize the UI

default

The slot to override the complete DOM output of the widget.

Note that when you implement this slot, none of the other slots will change the output, as the default slot surrounds them.

Scope

  • items: object[]: the refinements currently applied to the search.
  • createURL: (value: object) => string: the function to return a link for the search without this refinement.

Where an item is an object containing:

  • attribute: string: the name of the attribute with which the refinement is applied. The value is used as the key.
  • label: string: the name of the attribute with which the refinement is applied. The label is used as the the display value.
  • refine: (value: object) => void: the function to clear a refinement.
  • refinements: object[] each of the individual refinements for this attribute.

Where each refinement is an object containing:

  • type: string: can be "facet", "exclude", "disjunctive", "hierarchical", "numeric" or "query".
  • attribute: string: the name of the attribute where the refinement is applied. The value is used as the key.
  • label: string: the name of the attribute with which the refinement is applied. The label is used as the the display value.
  • value: any: actual value for this refinement
