Usage

import React from 'react'
import useFindify from '@findify/react-bundle'
​
export default () => {
  const [container, isReady, hasError, error = useFindify({ type: 'search' })
  return (
    <div ref={container} />
  )
}

​ The first element of an array is a React.createRef() that you should add as ref to the element where widget will be rendered. ​ The second element is a widget ready state: true or false. You can use this state to show and hide placeholders while findify is still rendering. ​ The third element of an array is an error state: true or false. It will return true if there are errors or if there are no items returned in response.

The fourth element of an array is an string representation of the error ​

Props

​

Prop	Required	Default value	Description
type<String>	yes	''	Type of widget. It could be search, recommendation, autocomplete, smart-collection.
history<History>	no	undefined	Custom history instance. This prop is required if you want to have a history navigation.
widgetKey<String>	no	random	Widget unique Id. You can provide this parameter if you would like to use Findify API in the future.
config<Object>	no		Custom widget configuration that will be merged with the default one. When it comes to creating Recommendation widgets, you would need to provide slot prop to the config object.

Simple Jetshop example

​

To prevent unnecessary scroll add 'FindifyUpdate' to the ignoreForRouteTypes array in /src/components/Shop.js

<ScrollRestorationHandler
  ignoreForRouteTypes={[
    'sortOrderChange',
    'filterChange',
    'paginationChange',
    'FindifyUpdate'
  ]}
/>

​

Search

Go to /components/SearchPage/SearchPage.js

//...
import useFindify from '@findify/react-bundle';
import { useHistory } from 'react-router';
​
export const Container = styled(MaxWidth)`
  padding: 0 0.75rem;
`;
​
//...
const SearchPage = routeProps => {
  const track = useTracker();
  const history = useHistory();
  const { pathname, search } = routeProps.location;
  const [container, isReady] = useFindify({ type: 'search', history });
​
  useEffect(() => {
    track(trackPageEvent({ pathname: `${pathname}${search}` }));
  }, [track, pathname, search]);
​
  return (
    <Container>
      <div ref={container} />
    </Container>
  );
};

​

Autocomplete

Go to /components/Layout/Header/SearchBar.js

//...
import useFindify from '@findify/react-bundle';
import { useHistory } from 'react-router';
​
​
//...
const StyledSearchField = styled('div')`
  & {
    display: flex;
    height: 2rem;
    width: 100% !important;
    justify-content: center;
    input {
      border: 0;
      background: #f3f3f3;
      height: 100%;
      width: 100%;
      padding: 0 1rem;
    }
  }
`;
​
const SearchBar = ({ searchOpen, setSearchOpen }) => {
  const history = useHistory();
  const [container] = useFindify({ type: 'autocomplete', history });
  return (
    <PoseGroup flipMove={true}>
      {searchOpen && (
        <PosedSearchBarContainer key={'searchBarPosed'}>
          <InnerSearchBar>
            <StyledSearchField>
              <input ref={container} />
            </StyledSearchField>
          </InnerSearchBar>
        </PosedSearchBarContainer>
      )}
    </PoseGroup>
  )
};

​

Recommendation

Go to /components/StartPage/StatPage.js

//...
import useFindify from '@findify/react-bundle';
​
//...
const StartPage = ({ location: { pathname, key }, startPageId }) => {
  const [container, isReady, hasError, error] = useFindify({
    type: 'recommendation',
    config: {
      slot: 'home-findify-rec-2', // Slot is required for recommendation widgets
    }
  });
  return (
    <Fragment>
      <StartPageWrapper>
        <Container>
          <div ref={container} />
          { !isReady && !hasError && 'Widget loading...'}
          // ...

​

Smart Collection

Go to /components/StartPage/StatPage.js

//...
import useFindify from '@findify/react-bundle';
​
//...
​
const CategoryPage = props => {
  // ...
  const [container, isReady, hasError, error] = useFindify({ type: 'smart-collection' });
​
  if (!hasError) {
    return (
      <Container>
        <div ref={container} />
        { !isReady && 'Loading collection'}
      </Container>
    )
  }
  if (infinitePagination) {
    return <LoadableWindowedCategoryPage {...props} />;
  } else {
    return <LoadableStandardCategoryPage {...props} />;
  }
};
  //...

For Smart Collections, Findify is introducing fallback measurements by rendering the default collections, in case if the current Smart Collection is not setup in Findify. This is to prevent blank collection pages.

Content in the Search Results

//...
import useFindify from '@findify/react-bundle';
​
//...
​
const ContentPage = props => {
  // ...
  const [container, isReady, hasError, error] = useFindify({ type: 'content' });
​
  if (!hasError) {
    return (
      <Container>
        <div
          ref={container}
          data-type="shopify-collection_985"
         />
        { !isReady && 'Loading content'}
      </Container>
    )
  }
};
  //...

Unlike other widgets, content results widget get the type of content from the node where it is rendered. You must provide data-type="CONTENT_SOURCE" to the element where is will be rendered (you can get the CONTENT_SOURCE parameter from the Merchant Dashboard).

Analytics

To access Findify's analytics instance from anywhere in your app you can use the following example:

import { waitForFindify } from '@findify/react-bundle';

async () => {
  const { analytics } = await waitForFindify();
  analytics.sendEvent('event', { ...options })
}

Update cart event

Should be sent after product has been added to the cart and contain the whole cat content

 const { analytics } = await waitForFindify();
 analytics.sendEvent('update-cart', {
    line_items: [ // Array of products
      {
        item_id: "PRODUCT_ID_1",
        quantity: 1,
        unit_price: 22.35,
        variant_item_id: "VARIANT_ID_1"
      }
    ]
 });

Purchase event

Should be sent when user purchases products

 const { analytics } = await waitForFindify();
 analytics.sendEvent('purchase', {
    currency: "EUR",
    line_items: [// Array of products
      {
        item_id: "PRODUCT_ID_1",
        quantity: 1,
        unit_price: 288.28,
        variant_item_id: "VARIANT_ID_1"
      },
    ],
    order_id: "ORDER_ID",
    revenue: 288.28
 });

View page event

Should be sent every time user lands on the product page

 const { analytics } = await waitForFindify();
 analytics.sendEvent('view-page', {
  item_id: "PRODUCT_ID",
  variant_item_id: "PRODUCT_VARIANT_ID"
 })

Product click event

In case you are using your own History instance, you should update components/Cards/Product/view.tsx and change onClick event for the product card (this is done via DevTools Extension as a customization to our platfom):

const ProductCardView ({ item }) => {
  const onClick = useCallback((e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    // Calling this method will ensure that all analytics events will be sent to Findify properly
    item.sendAnalytics();
    findify.utils.history.push(item.get('product_url'))
  }, []);

  return (
    <a onClick={onClick}>
    ...
