Show a Facet filter for a particular field.

Must configure the corresponding field in the SearchProvider facets object.

Example

import { Facet } from "@elastic/react-search-ui";
import { MultiCheckboxFacet } from "@elastic/react-search-ui-views";

...

<SearchProvider config={{
  ...otherConfig,
  searchQuery: {
    facets: {
     states: { type: "value", size: 30 }
    }
  }
}}>
  {() => (
    <Facet field="states" label="States" view={MultiCheckboxFacet} />
  )}
</SearchProvider>

Example of an OR based Facet filter

Certain configuration of the Facet Component will require a "disjunctive" facet to work correctly. "Disjunctive" facets are facets that do not change when a selection is made. Meaning, all available options will remain as selectable options even after a selection is made.

import { Facet } from "@elastic/react-search-ui";
import { MultiCheckboxFacet } from "@elastic/react-search-ui-views";

...

<SearchProvider config={{
  ...otherConfig,
  searchQuery: {
    disjunctiveFacets: ["states"],
    facets: {
     states: { type: "value", size: 30 }
    }
  }
}}>
  {() => (
    <Facet field="states" label="States" view={MultiCheckboxFacet} filterType="any" />
  )}
</SearchProvider>

When overriding Facet views, note that there are pre-built options that you can choose from, in addition to providing your own:

import {
  BooleanFacet,
  SingleSelectFacet,
  SingleLinksFacet
} from "@elastic/react-search-ui-views";

// Default out-of-the-box view
<Facet
  field="acres"
  label="Acres"
/>

// Choose an alternate out-of-the-box view
<Facet
  field="acres"
  label="Acres"
  view={SingleSelectFacet}
/>
