Customization

Result View

Most notably, the result view component should be customized. A GenericResultView Component is provided that should work for some scenarious out of the box. Otherwise, you should implement your own Result View in React. For a starting point, feel free to copy the code of GenericResultView.ts, though most of the customization should be thrown out to make it more lightweight.

Generic Result View

Each field of the generic result view can be mapped to a field in the elastic search index. Additionally, you can specify multiple tags from multiple different fields in the elastic index. Take a look at the Storybook for an example.

To map (parts of) the result before feeding it to the GenericResultView, you can define you own component that itself uses the GenericResultView with modified data:

import { useMemo } from "react"
import { GenericResultView, ResultViewProps } from "@kit-data-manager/react-fairdo-search"

export function MyResultView(props: ResultViewProps) {
    const mappedResult = useMemo(() => {
        const copy = structuredClone(props.result)
        copy.someProperty = copy.something + copy.somethingElse
        return copy
    }, [props.result])

    return <GenericResultView result={mappedResult} titleField={"someProperty"} />
}

Then simply pass your custom component to the search component.
