FoldedResultList (Deprecated)

The FoldedResultList headless controller re-organizes results into hierarchical collections (a.k.a. threads).

Methods

fetchMoreResults

Using the same parameters as the last successful query, fetch another batch of results, if available. Particularly useful for infinite scrolling, for example.

This method is not compatible with the Pager controller.

findResultByCollection

Finds a folded result by its collection.

Parameters

  • collection: FoldedCollection

    The folded collection whose collection name will be used to find a collection in the results.

Returns FoldedResult | null: The FoldedResult associated with the collection’s name.

findResultById

Finds a folded result by its unique ID.

Parameters

  • collection: FoldedCollection

    The folded collection whose ID will be used to find a collection in the results.

Returns FoldedResult | null: The FoldedResult associated with the collection’s ID.

loadCollection

Loads all the folded results for a given collection.

Parameters

logShowLessFoldedResults

Logs a custom event when a user shows less folded results.

logShowMoreFoldedResults

Logs a click event when a user loads/shows more folded results.

Parameters

  • result: Result

    The result to send analytics for.

subscribe

Adds a callback that’s invoked on state change.

Parameters

  • listener: () => void

    A callback that’s invoked on state change.

Returns Unsubscribe: A function to remove the listener.
