Clear search results about meteor-easy-search HOT 16 CLOSED

Just for clarification, you want to have the search results be cleared after navigating away to another page where the search is not displayed anymore, right?

I'll be sure to add this functionality through the API

from meteor-easy-search.

Yes that is correct. Thanks

from meteor-easy-search.

You can now clear the search like following:

// index and id (is not required) are both blaze parameters:
// for example https://github.com/matteodem/meteor-easy-search#eseach
EasySearch.Components.clear(index, id);

Remember that the input might still have its value, this is not taken care of since you don't have to use the esInput (in theory). Feel free to re-open if there's anything missing regarding this ticket

Also I have not documented this since I'll be re-working most of the Components to make a proper faceted search possible, see #21

from meteor-easy-search.

@matteodem you mentioned not documenting this yet, I am kind of confused on how or where exactly I should be calling clear. Is there a handler that would be appropriate for this ?

from meteor-easy-search.

yeah, it's with the components API:
https://github.com/matteodem/meteor-easy-search/wiki/Component-API

It would be instead of "on" or "get" just "clear" without any parameters on the instance. I forgot to document that, I'll add that soonish.

from meteor-easy-search.

I can't get this working, EasySearch.Components doesn't seem to exist and I don't know what "index" or "id" should be? It's really important to automatically close the results list and clear the box when the user selects a result. I can't find any reference to 'clear' in the docs.

I'm also wondering how to do this. Looking at the EasySearch object there is a EasySearch.Cursor.emptyCursor object but that is the closest thing i can find. How do you 'clear' the results with the new version?? thanks.

from meteor-easy-search.

I think this got forgotten with v2, it might make most sense to always reset "search results" as soon as the user navigates away. I'll implement it that way for now.

from meteor-easy-search.

Should have that behaviour now in latest version, please check it out.

from meteor-easy-search.

How do you do it?
like

EasySearch.Components.clear(index, id);

or

EasySearch.Cursor.emptyCursor 

?

from meteor-easy-search.

Do you want an explicit clear method? I did not add it but one way would be to use component methods to search for an empty string.

from meteor-easy-search.

Oh thats kind of genius haha, a dedicated method would be nice, but the empty string does the trick for now.

from meteor-easy-search.

I tried this:

 patternsIndex.search("");

but the search results stayed on screen. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I got it, I think. This works:

patternsIndex.getComponentMethods().search("")

from meteor-easy-search.

Note: I want to hide the list if the user presses 'Esc' or clicks outside the list, so they don't have to go into the input and delete the search term to hide the search list. So that's a use case for manually clearing the list. I haven't tried it yet but I expect that your suggestion of searching for empty string will work for this.

from meteor-easy-search.

I can't get this to work.

I tried:

    ContentSearchIndex.getComponentMethods().reset();

and

    ContentSearchIndex.getComponentMethods().search("");

when I clear the search this way I just get all results, even though my search input component has noDocumentsOnEmpty=true:

    {{> EasySearch.Input indexes=searchIndexes charLimit=2 noDocumentsOnEmpty=true attributes=searchBoxAttributes}}
