InteractiveResult (Deprecated)

The InteractiveResult controller provides an interface for triggering desirable side effects, such as logging UA events to the Coveo Platform, when a user selects a query result.

Methods

beginDelayedSelect

Prepares to select the result after a certain delay, sending analytics if it was never selected before.

In a DOM context, it’s recommended to call this method on the touchstart event.

cancelPendingSelect

Cancels the pending selection caused by beginDelayedSelect.

In a DOM context, it’s recommended to call this method on the touchend event.

select

Selects the result, logging a UA event to the Coveo Platform if the result wasn’t selected before.

In a DOM context, it’s recommended to call this method on all of the following events: * contextmenu * click * mouseup * mousedown

Example Implementation

result-link.tsx

import {buildInteractiveResult, Result} from '@coveo/headless';
import {FunctionComponent, useContext, useEffect} from 'react';
import {AppContext} from '../../context/engine';
import {filterProtocol} from '../../utils/filter-protocol';
 
interface LinkProps {
  result: Result;
}
 
export const ResultLink: FunctionComponent<LinkProps> = (props) => {
  const {engine} = useContext(AppContext);
 
  const interactiveResult = buildInteractiveResult(engine!, {
    options: {result: props.result},
  });
 
  useEffect(() => () => interactiveResult.cancelPendingSelect(), []);
 
  return (
    <a
      href={filterProtocol(props.result.clickUri)}
      onClick={() => interactiveResult.select()}
      onContextMenu={() => interactiveResult.select()}
      onMouseDown={() => interactiveResult.select()}
      onMouseUp={() => interactiveResult.select()}
      onTouchStart={() => interactiveResult.beginDelayedSelect()}
      onTouchEnd={() => interactiveResult.cancelPendingSelect()}
    >
      {props.children}
    </a>
  );
};
