Display results (Deprecated)

Displaying results in Coveo Atomic is done by adding a result list component anywhere in the atomic-search-interface and giving it result templates to define how results are rendered.

HTML

<atomic-search-interface>
  ...
  <atomic-result-list display="grid">
    <atomic-result-template>
      <template>
        <p>
          Title: <atomic-result-link></atomic-result-link>
        </p>
        <p>
          Description: <atomic-result-text field="excerpt"></atomic-result-text>
        </p>
        <atomic-field-condition must-match-visibility="confidential">
          <p><b>CONFIDENTIAL</b></p>
        </atomic-field-condition>
      </template>
    </atomic-result-template>
  </atomic-result-list>
  ...
</atomic-search-interface>

React

<AtomicSearchInterface>
  ...
  <AtomicResultList
    display="grid"
    template={(result) => (
      <>
        <p>
          {"Title: "}
          <AtomicResultLink></AtomicResultLink>
        </p>
        <p>
          {"Description: "}
          <AtomicResultText field="excerpt"></AtomicResultText>
        </p>
        {result.raw.visibility === "confidential" && (
          <p>
            <b>{"CONFIDENTIAL"}</b>
          </p>
        )}
      </>
    )}
  />
  ...
</AtomicSearchInterface>

Result list components

Atomic includes two different result components you can choose between:

atomic-result-list

The atomic-result-list component can display results as a list, grid, or table.

You can find extended documentation on how to use this component in the following:

An <code>atomic-result-list</code> component with <code>display="list"</code>

An atomic-result-list component with display="list".

An <code>atomic-result-list</code> component with <code>display="grid"</code>

An atomic-result-list component with display="grid".

An <code>atomic-result-list</code> component with <code>display="table"</code>

An atomic-result-list component with display="table".

atomic-folded-result-list

The atomic-folded-result-list component can display results hierarchically.

To display results hierarchically, see Implement folding.

An <code>atomic-folded-result-list</code> component with some "folded" results

An atomic-folded-result-list component with some "folded" results.

Defining a result template

Result templates define what HTML content should be displayed for each result returned by the user’s query.

In HTML, they’re defined by adding an atomic-result-template element inside the result list and adding a template element in the atomic-result-template element, like so:

<atomic-result-template>
  <template>
    <span>Title: </span><atomic-result-link></atomic-result-link>
  </template>
</atomic-result-template>

In React, they’re defined by passing a callback to the template attribute of the result list, like so:

<AtomicResultList
  template={(result) => (
    <>
      <p>
        {"Excerpt with highlighting: "}
        <AtomicResultText field="excerpt" />
      </p>
      <p>
        {"Excerpt using JSX, without highlighting: "}
        {result.excerpt}
      </p>
    </>
  )}
/>

Result template components

To display result-specific information, use result template components.

<atomic-result-template>
  <template>
    <atomic-result-image field="thumbnail"></atomic-result-image>
    <atomic-result-link></atomic-result-link>
    <atomic-result-number field="price">
      <atomic-format-currency currency="USD"></atomic-format-currency>
    </atomic-result-number>
  </template>
</atomic-result-template>

Styling

The contents of a template can be styled by adding a <style> tag inside of it.

HTML

<atomic-result-template>
  <template>
    <style>
      atomic-result-badge[label="On sale!"]::part(result-badge-element) {
        background-color: #44a1da;
        color: white;
      }
    </style>
    <atomic-field-condition must-match-on-sale="true">
      <atomic-result-badge label="On sale!"></atomic-result-badge>
    </atomic-field-condition>
    <atomic-result-link></atomic-result-link>
    <atomic-result-number field="price">
      <atomic-format-currency currency="USD"></atomic-format-currency>
    </atomic-result-number>
  </template>
</atomic-result-template>

React

const templateStyle = `
  atomic-result-badge[label="On sale!"]::part(result-badge-element) {
    background-color: #44a1da;
    color: white;
  }
`;
// ...
<AtomicResultList
  template={(result) => (
    <>
      <style>{templateStyle}</style>
      {result.raw["on-sale"] === "true" && (
        <AtomicResultBadge label="On sale!"></AtomicResultBadge>
      )}
      <AtomicResultLink></AtomicResultLink>
      <AtomicResultNumber field="price">
        <AtomicFormatCurrency currency="USD"></AtomicFormatCurrency>
      </AtomicResultNumber>
    </>
  )}
/>

Result sections

If you don’t need a deep level of customization and want to render results following Coveo’s mobile-friendly design, use result sections.

When a result section element (prefixed with atomic-result-section-) is present at the root of the <template> element of a result template, its styling will automatically adapt.

<atomic-result-template>
  <template>
    <atomic-result-section-badges>
      <atomic-result-badge field="objecttype"></atomic-result-badge>
    </atomic-result-section-badges>
    <atomic-result-section-title>
      <atomic-result-link></atomic-result-link>
    </atomic-result-section-title>
    <atomic-result-section-visual image-size="icon">
      <atomic-result-icon></atomic-result-icon>
    </atomic-result-section-visual>
    <atomic-result-section-excerpt>
      <atomic-result-text field="excerpt"></atomic-result-text>
    </atomic-result-section-excerpt>
  </template>
</atomic-result-template>

Result template conditions

It’s also possible to define multiple different result templates that are displayed conditionally to a field containing a particular value.

HTML

<atomic-result-list>
  <atomic-result-template must-match-sourcetype="YouTube" must-match-author="Coveo">
    <!-- I am displayed when the field `source` matches exactly `YouTube` and `author` matches exactly `Coveo`. -->
  </atomic-result-template>
  <atomic-result-template must-match-sourcetype="YouTube">
    <!-- I am displayed for all other results where the field `source` matches exactly `YouTube`. -->
  </atomic-result-template>
  <atomic-result-template must-match-sourcetype="Documentation" must-not-match-status="Outdated">
    <!-- I am displayed for all results where `source` matches exactly `Documentation` and `status` does not match `Outdated`. -->
  </atomic-result-template>
  <atomic-result-template>
    <!-- I am the default template, when no other condition is met. -->
  </atomic-result-template>
</atomic-result-list>

React

const YoutubeTemplate = ({ result }) => <>{/* Some template content */}</>;
const DefaultTemplate = ({ result }) => <>{/* Some template content */}</>;
// ...
<AtomicResultList
  template={(result) =>
    result.raw.source === "YouTube" ? (
      <YoutubeTemplate result={result} />
    ) : (
      <DefaultTemplate result={result} />
    )
  }
/>

Table result templates and folded result templates

Table result templates and folded result templates are defined slightly differently. See:
