Filter search results react - html

Question

My data back from search result has columns: enTitle,Image,url,enDescription,HasLandingPage,AddInfo.
I want to filter search results by AddInfo to show in different lists. later if I can add a button that would be better.
Render Data:
const ListArticle = (props) =>{
return (
<div className="card">
<div className="search-img-lft">
<a href={props.link} target="_blank">
<img src={props.image} alt="" />
</a>
</div>
<div className="search-imgcont-rgt">
<a href={props.link} target="_blank">
<h3>
{props.title}
{props.kind} // just to see if kind works
</h3>
<p>{props.desc}</p>
</a>
{props.link}
</div>
</div>
);
}
List Class:(ignore the i,brac & lim they are for pagination)
class List extends React.Component {
render(){
const liArt =[];
const searchText = this.props.searchText.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '');
var i = 0;
const brac = this.props.start;
const lim = brac + this.props.qtyPerPage;
//the filter below works for resources but I want all to be filtered and show in the list in previous code snippet
this.props.list.filter(u=>u.AddInfo == "resource").map((article)=>{
var artText = (article.enTitle + " " + article.URL + " " + article.enDescription + " " + article.AddInfo).toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '');
if(artText.indexOf(searchText)===-1){
return;
}
i++;
if(brac<i && i<lim){
liArt.push(
<ListArticle key={article.Image+article.URL}
title={article.enTitle}
image={article.Image+"?h=100&mode=crop&scale=down"}
link={JSON.stringify(article.HasLandingPage).toUpperCase()=="TRUE" ? "/en/"+article.URL : "/" + article.URL}
desc={article.enDescription}
kind={article.AddInfo.includes("SKU") ? " Product" : (article.AddInfo.includes("resource") ? " Resource" : " Page")} />
);//push
} //limit check
});//map
return (
<div className="search-page-listbox">
{liArt}
</div>
);
}
}

If i got you right, you want to create multiple lists while each list shows items of another"AddInfo".
First, I would recommend to separate your task into three components (instead of two):
First component is the ListArticle which will be the list item,
Second will be the component List -> that will receive the list you want to show (after they have been filtered),
Last component will be ListContainer -> this one will hold multiple lists (as many as the options of AddInfo).
Then, in ListContainer you can go over all unique AddInfo, and create List component for every option - passing only filtered items:
ListArticle.js
import React from 'react';
const ListArticle = (props) =>{
return (
<div className="card">
<div className="search-img-lft">
<a href={props.link} target="_blank">
<img src={props.image} alt="" />
</a>
</div>
<div className="search-imgcont-rgt">
<a href={props.link} target="_blank">
<h3>
{props.title}
{props.kind} // just to see if kind works
</h3>
<p>{props.desc}</p>
</a>
{props.link}
</div>
</div>
);
}
export default ListArticle;
List.js
import React from 'react';
import ListArticle from './ListArticle';
export default class List extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
this.props.list.map(article => <ListArticle key={article.Image + article.URL}
title={article.enTitle}
image={article.Image + "?h=100&mode=crop&scale=down"}
link={JSON.stringify(article.HasLandingPage).toUpperCase() == "TRUE" ? "/en/" + article.URL : "/" + article.URL}
desc={article.enDescription}
kind={article.AddInfo.includes("SKU") ? " Product" : (article.AddInfo.includes("resource") ? " Resource" : " Page")} />
)
)
}
}
ListContainer.js
import React from 'react';
import List from './List';
class ListContainer extends React.Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
}
render() {
let lists = {};
let searchText = this.props.searchText;
if(this.props){
let filteredList = this.props.list.filter(article=>(article.enTitle + " " + article.URL + " " + article.enDescription + " " + article.AddInfo).toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '').indexOf(searchText)!==-1);
filteredList && filteredList.forEach(u => {
if(lists[u.AddInfo]===undefined) lists[u.AddInfo]=[];
lists[u.AddInfo].push(u);
});
}
return(
Object.keys(lists).map(function(key, index) {
return <List list={lists[key]} />
})
)
}
}
export default ListContainer;
Usage:
<ListContainer list={list} searchText={searchText} />
Hope it helped :)

I'd return something like this from your List class (I tried explaining my thought process in comments inside the code):
return (<React.Fragment>
{
// second (kinda), I'd convert the inside generated collection (object) into an array
// -> where the array elements are now ["AddInfo type", [array of elements with that type]]
Object.entries(
// first, convert the list into an object, collecting each type of "AddInfo" into
// -> a unique property, and storing all objects w/ that type in an array
this.props.list.reduce((output, u) => {
if (!output[u.AddInfo]) output[u.AddInfo] = [];
output[u.AddInfo].push(u);
return output
}, {})
)
// third, I'd map the new array of ["AddInfo type", [array of elements with that type]] into
// -> the jsx output you want, like this:
.map(([type, array]) => {
return <div className="search-page-listbox">
{array.map((article, i) => {
// ... everything inside your ".map((article...)" function can go here
})}
</div>
})
}
</React.Fragment>)
A few notes:
You can replace var i = 0 and i++ lines with the i index that automatically comes from the second parameter in the map function (see my version of array.map((article, i) => ...)
If you haven't seen things like array destructuring (ex: .map(([type, array]) => ...)) let me know, I can explain. It's a pretty shnazzy thing you can do to save some lines.
My first step was to figure out how to create an object container which holds sorted data based on AddInfo - that's why my // first comment comes technically after the // second comment. Hope that makes sense.
Let me know if you have questions or if there was a typeo that's breaking my code. I haven't tested it obviously since I don't have your react code / variables.
