React-SearchKit

React-SearchKit is a React library that allows you to build in an easy way your search application.

Main features:

• ready-to-use collection of UI components
• configurable REST API endpoint and serialization
• configurable URL parameters handling for deep linking

Examples

You can find a collection of examples in the src/demos folder:

• OpenSearch, an example on how to query OpenSearch (see below)
• Zenodo.org, an example on how to query an Invenio 3 instance
• CERN Videos, another Invenio 3 example

Install dependencies and run the React app to try them out (see steps below).

OpenSearch

To run the OpenSearch backend for the demo, you can use Docker. A docker-compose file with ES 7 and nginx as reverse proxy is available and ready to use. Run the services:

cd src/demos/opensearch/docker
docker-compose up

Then, init the demo data:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/random?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @os2-mappings.json
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/random/_bulk' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @os-random-data.json
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/random/_count?pretty'

Demo data have been randomly generated using https://next.json-generator.com.

Delete data in the cluster: curl -X DELETE 'http://localhost:9200/_all'

Developer guide

React-SearchKit uses create-react-app as development toolkit.

Install the library:

npm install

Start the demo application:

npm start

The library uses Jest as test runner. To run the tests:

npm test

The library uses rollup to build a final version inside the /dist folder and it will build CommonJS and ES Modules versions:

npm run build
