Meilisearch

Using Meilisearch with Fumadocs UI.

Setup

Fumadocs CLI can set it up for you, it creates the search dialog, the static.json route and a script to sync the search index after each build:

npx @fumadocs/cli feature search --provider meilisearch

Or manually:

  1. Integrate Meilisearch.

  2. Create a search dialog, replace host and apiKey with your host URL and search API key.

    components/search.tsx
    'use client';
    import { Meilisearch } from 'meilisearch';
    import {
      SearchDialog,
      SearchDialogClose,
      SearchDialogContent,
      SearchDialogFooter,
      SearchDialogHeader,
      SearchDialogIcon,
      SearchDialogInput,
      SearchDialogList,
      SearchDialogOverlay,
      type SharedProps,
    } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/dialog/search';
    import { useMeilisearch } from 'fumadocs-core/search/client';
    import { useI18n } from 'fumadocs-ui/contexts/i18n';
    
    const client = new Meilisearch({
      host: 'replace me',
      apiKey: 'replace me',
    });
    
    export default function CustomSearchDialog(props: SharedProps) {
      const { locale } = useI18n(); // (optional) for i18n
      const search = useMeilisearch({
        client,
        indexName: 'docs',
        locale,
      });
    
      return (
        <SearchDialog {...search} {...props}>
          <SearchDialogOverlay />
          <SearchDialogContent>
            <SearchDialogHeader>
              <SearchDialogIcon />
              <SearchDialogInput />
              <SearchDialogClose />
            </SearchDialogHeader>
            <SearchDialogList />
            <SearchDialogFooter>
              <a
                href="https://www.meilisearch.com"
                rel="noreferrer noopener"
                className="ms-auto text-xs text-fd-muted-foreground"
              >
                Search powered by Meilisearch
              </a>
            </SearchDialogFooter>
          </SearchDialogContent>
        </SearchDialog>
      );
    }
    

Replace Search Dialog

Pass your search dialog to <RootProvider /> in the root layout:

app/root.tsx
import { Links, Meta, Scripts, ScrollRestoration } from 'react-router';
import { RootProvider } from 'fumadocs-ui/provider/react-router';
import SearchDialog from '@/components/search';

export function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <head>
        <meta charSet="utf-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
        <Meta />
        <Links />
      </head>
      <body className="flex flex-col min-h-screen">
        <RootProvider search={{ SearchDialog }}>{children}</RootProvider>
        <ScrollRestoration />
        <Scripts />
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Tag Filter

Optionally, you can add UI for filtering results by tags. Configure Tag Filter on documents and add the following:

'use client';

import {
  SearchDialog,
  SearchDialogContent,
  SearchDialogFooter,
  SearchDialogOverlay,
  type SharedProps,
  TagsList,
  TagsListItem,
} from 'fumadocs-ui/components/dialog/search';
import { useState } from 'react';
import { useMeilisearch } from 'fumadocs-core/search/client';

export default function CustomSearchDialog(props: SharedProps) {
  const [tag, setTag] = useState<string | undefined>();
  const search = useMeilisearch({
    tag, 
    // other options...
  });

  return (
    <SearchDialog {...search} {...props}>
      <SearchDialogOverlay />
      <SearchDialogContent>
        ...
        <SearchDialogFooter className="flex flex-row">
          <TagsList tag={tag} onTagChange={setTag}>
            <TagsListItem value="my-value">My Value</TagsListItem>
          </TagsList>
        </SearchDialogFooter>
      </SearchDialogContent>
    </SearchDialog>
  );
}
