Documentation

1. Install

npm

npm i react-search-hook

yarn

yarn add react-search-hook

CDN

• unpkg: https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/index.umd.js

• jsdelivr: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/index.umd.js

2. Add provider to top of your component tree

import { SearchProvider } from 'react-search-hook'
function App() {
  return <SearchProvider stores={['products',...]}>{children}</SearchProvider>
}

notice that SearchProvider needs an array of strings to make stores

3. Simply you can import useSearch hook everywere

import { useSearch } from 'react-search-hook'
function MyExampleComponent() {
  const { register } = useSearch('products')

  return (
    <div>
      <input {...register()} />
      <span>{search}</span>
    </div>
  )
}

notice that useSearch needs the store name

If you need to filter some array of data, simply you can pass items to useSearch hook

import { useSearch } from 'react-search-hook'
function MyExampleComponent() {
  const items = ['text1', 'text2', ...]
  const { register, searchResult } = useSearch('products', { items })

  return (
    <div>
      <input {...register()} />
      {searchResult.map((item, key) => (
        <li>{JSON.stringify(item)}</li>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
