⚡ How to integrate a front-end search bar in your React application using Meilisearch
**Meilisearch** is an open-source search engine. [Discover what Meilisearch is!](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch)
This repository describes the steps to integrate a relevant front-end search bar with a search-as-you-type experience!
## ⚡ Supercharge your Meilisearch experience
Say goodbye to server deployment and manual updates with [Meilisearch Cloud](https://www.meilisearch.com/cloud?utm_campaign=oss&utm_source=github&utm_medium=meilisearch-ruby). Get started with a 14-day free trial! No credit card required.
## Installation
To integrate a front-end search bar, you need to install two packages:
- the open-source [React InstantSearch](https://github.com/algolia/instantsearch/) library powered by Algolia that provides all the front-end tools you need to highly customize your search bar environment.
- the Meilisearch client [instant-meilisearch](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-js-plugins/tree/main/packages/instant-meilisearch) to establish the communication between your Meilisearch instance and the React InstantSearch library.
_Instead of reinventing the wheel, we have opted to reuse the InstantSearch library for our own front-end tooling. We will contribute upstream any improvements that may result from our adoption of InstantSearch._
Run:
```bash
yarn add react-instantsearch @meilisearch/instant-meilisearch
# or
npm install react-instantsearch @meilisearch/instant-meilisearch
# or
pnpm add react-instantsearch @meilisearch/instant-meilisearch
```
NB: If you don't have any Meilisearch instance running and containing your data, you should take a look at this [getting started page](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/getting_started/installation).
## Getting Started
Thanks to the open-source React InstantSearch library, you can add these components to your application:
```js
import React from 'react';
import { InstantSearch, SearchBox, Hits, Highlight } from 'react-instantsearch';
import { instantMeiliSearch } from '@meilisearch/instant-meilisearch';
const { searchClient } = instantMeiliSearch(
'https://ms-adf78ae33284-106.lon.meilisearch.io',
'a63da4928426f12639e19d62886f621130f3fa9ff3c7534c5d179f0f51c4f303'
);
const App = () => (
);
const Hit = ({ hit }) => ;
export default App
```
🚀 For a full getting started example, please take a look at this CodeSandbox:
[](https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/eager-dust-f98w2w)
💡 If you have never used React InstantSearch before, we recommend reading this [getting started documentation](https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/building-search-ui/what-is-instantsearch/react/).
## Customization and Documentation
- The open-source React InstantSearch library is widely used and well documented in the [Algolia documentation](https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/widgets/react/). It provides all the widgets to customize and improve your search bar environment in your React application.
- The [instant-meilisearch documentation](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-js-plugins/tree/main/packages/instant-meilisearch) to add some customization.
