I'm building a search application and am trying to get some results links that appear in tab format to work. Much like you see on google.com/search=?user_query and bing.com/search=?user_query... where after you submit the initial query, you can click on "Images", "Shopping" and "News" for example and a different results view is rendered based on the the result link/tab that you clicked.
I'm using ReactiveSearch to build my search UI. So far I have this:
ResultNavigationTabs.tsx to build the link tabs
class ResultNavigationTabs extends Component {
render() {
const { classes, items, location: { pathname } } = this.props;
return (
<ul className={classes.nav}>
{items.map(item => (
<Link to={item.link} key={item.text}>
<li className={item.link.startsWith(pathname) ? "active" : ""}>
{item.text}
</li>
</Link>
))}
</ul>
);
}
}
export default withStyles(styles)(withRouter(ResultNavigationTabs));
I then render this component in my ResultsViewPage.tsx like so:
render() {
const { selected } = this.state;
...(omitted for brevity)
<ResultNavigationTabs2
className={classes.myNavigationTabs}
items={[
{ text: "Web", link: `/search?q="${selected}"` },
{ text: "News", link: `/news?q="${selected}"` },
{ text: "Shopping", link: `/shopping?q="${selected}"` },
]}
/>
The links do render but they do not work. If I hover over the links, the search query string is empty (http://localhost:3000/search?q=%22%22). If you've worked with ReactiveSearch, it should be: http://localhost:3000/search?q=%22user%20query%22.
I have had it working but only when I render ResultNavigationTabs in the same file as the search box (DataSearch in ReactiveSearch language). However, if I do that it appears right below the search box in the Header instead of the results area.
I need to figure out a way to render ResultNavigationTabs in the ResultsViewPage.tsx file with working links.
