Overriding Templates/Styles

To override any of the rendered HTML you can provided your own render functions. There are four render functions:

• base - renders the search box and necessary structure for the results
• style - renders the required styles for default templates
• resultItem - renders a single result item
• resultSet - renders a set of results, this function uses the resultItem function

Each function is passed the following arguments:

• base
  • defaultValue - the search query string
  • options - the configuration options object
• style
  • options - the configuration options object
• resultItem
  • result - the individual result object
  • response - the entire response returned from the algolia client
  • options - the configuration options object
• resultsSet
  • results - the results array
  • response - the entire response returned from the algolia client
  • noData - The text set if no results are returned
  • options - the configuration options object

For more details custom templates, refer to the default functions.

Methods

You may clear the results programatically by calling DocsifyAlgoliaSearchPlugin.clearResults();.
