Searchkit Apollo Resolvers

Query

MultiMatchQuery

Uses elasticsearch multi-match query.

Usage

import {
MultiMatchQuery
} from '@searchkit/apollo-resolvers'
const searchkitConfig = {
query: new MultiMatchQuery({ fields: ['title^2', 'description']})
}

GraphQL Query Example

Query will be applied to results & facets

{
results(query: "heat") {
hits {
items {
id
}
}
}
}

Options

OptionDescription
fieldsfields to be queried. See elasticsearch documentation for more information on options

Sorting

const searchkitConfig = {
sortOptions: [
{ id: 'relevance', label: 'Relevance', field: '_score' },
{ id: 'released', label: 'Recent Releases', field: { released: 'desc' } },
{ id: 'multiple_sort', label: 'Multiple sort', field: [
{ "post_date" : {"order" : "asc"}},
"user",
{ "name" : "desc" },
{ "age" : "desc" },
"_score"
]},
]
}

Within SearchkitConfig, declare all the available sorting options that you want your search to support, each with a unique id. Above is an example of how sorting option fields can be declared. Field is provided to elasticsearch so supports all the options that elasticsearch supports. See Elasticsearch sorting options for available options.

GraphQL Query Example

Once configured, you are able to:

  1. query available sort options via sortOptions within the summary node
  2. sortedBy will tell you the current sort option for hits
query {
results(query: "") {
summary {
total
sortOptions {
id
label
}
}
hits(sortBy: "relevance") {
sortedBy <--- the current sortId
}
}
}

then you will be able to specify how you want hits to be sorted by within the hits node using the id

{
results(query: "bla") {
hits(sortBy: "relevance") {
sortedBy
items {
id
fields {
writers
actors
}
}
}
}
}

Options

OptionDescription
idUnique id. Used to specify what to sort by
labellabel to be displayed in frontend

Facets

Facets are configured together on the Searchkit Config within the facets array. Each facet can support a range of experiences from a simple list to date filtering

When configured, a GraphQL query using the facets node like below will bring back all the facet options for the result set. To apply a facet filter, you can specify the filter in the results arguments, shown below.

{
results(filters: [{id: "type", value: "movie" }]) {
facets {
id
label
type
display
entries {
id
label
count
isSelected
}
}
}
}

The resolver also supports returning facet options for one particular facet via facet node.

{
results(query: "heat") {
facet(id: "type") {
id
label
type
display
entries {
id
label
count
isSelected
}
}
}
}

RefinementSelectFacet

Returns a list of facet options that can be applied to refine the result set.

Usage

{
RefinementSelectFacet
} from '@searchkit/apollo-resolvers'
const searchkitConfig = {
...
facets: [
new RefinementSelectFacet({ field: 'type.raw', id: 'type', label: 'Type' })
]
}

Selected Filter Example

{
results(filters: [{id: "type", value: "movie" }]) {
facets {
id
}
}
}

Multiple Select

Behaves like an OR filter. When configured and a filter is applied, facet will continue to return the same facet options as if the filter wasn't chosen. As more filters are applied, result matches will be of hits that have at least one of the filter values.

Facet Value Query

Supports facet values querying via the facet node. Great for UIs where you have a large list of options and require search

{
results(query: "heat", filters: []) {
facet(id: "type", query: "movi") {
id
entries {
id
label
count
}
}
}
}

Options

OptionDescription
fieldAggregation field to be used, preferably a field that is raw, not tokenized
idRequired to be unique. Used to apply filters on field
labelUI label for facet. Used by @searchkit/elastic-ui components
MultipleSelectBoolean. Default False. Filters operates as an OR. See multiple Select for more information
sizeOptional. Controls the number of options displayed. Defaults to 5.
displayOptional. Used on UI to specify what component to handle facet

RangeFilterFacet

Usage

{
RefinementSelectFacet
} from '@searchkit/apollo-resolvers'
const searchkitConfig = {
...
facets: [
new RangeFacet({
field: 'metaScore',
id: 'metascore',
label: 'Metascore',
range: {
min: 0,
max: 100,
interval: 5
}
})
]
}

Selected Filter Example

{
results(filters: [{id: "metascore", min: 0, max: 100 }]) {
facets {
id
}
}
}

Options

OptionDescription
fieldAggregation field to be used, preferably a field that is raw, not tokenized
idRequired to be unique. Used to apply filters on field
labelUI label for facet. Used by @searchkit/elastic-ui components
rangeObject of min, max and interval. Brings back entries between min and max. Number of entries depends on interval
displayOptional. Used on UI to specify what component to handle facet

DateRangeFacet

Usage

{
RefinementSelectFacet
} from '@searchkit/apollo-resolvers'
const searchkitConfig = {
...
facets: [
new DateRangeFacet({
field: 'released',
id: 'released',
label: 'Released'
})
]
}

Selected Filter Example

{
results(filters: [{id: "released", dateMin: "10/12/2020", dateMax: "10/12/2021" }]) {
facets {

}
}
}
