Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Dynamically create Facets based upon a quick query

Readme

DynamicQueryFacetGenerator

Generates Facets dynamicaly based upon results from the index.

First the fields from the current index are retrieved (so that the component knows which fields are facets). These fields are stored in localstorage (so it only happens once a week).

Second when a query is being executed, the facet cache is checked. If the query is in the cache the facets will be retrieved from cache. If not, then a query is being executed against the index. The first number of results are being examined for facet values. If the treshold is met, and the distinct values are bigger then 1, the facet is added to the UI.

Another possibility is to use a push source query. This means: you must have a push source with QUERY + FACETS in them. This gives a bit better performance.

Disclaimer: This component was built by the community at large and is not an official Coveo JSUI Component. Use this component at your own risk.

Getting Started

  1. Install the component into your project.
npm i @coveops/dynamic-query-facet-generator
  1. Use the Component or extend it

Typescript:

import { DynamicQueryFacetGenerator, IDynamicQueryFacetGeneratorOptions } from '@coveops/dynamic-query-facet-generator';

Javascript

const DynamicQueryFacetGenerator = require('@coveops/dynamic-query-facet-generator').DynamicQueryFacetGenerator;
  1. You can also expose the component alongside other components being built in your project.
export * from '@coveops/dynamic-query-facet-generator'
  1. Include the component in your template as follows:

Place the component in your markup:

<div class="CoveoDynamicQueryFacetGenerator"></div>

Usage

Add the CoveoDynamicQueryFacetGenerator along with the rest of the Facets.

<div class="coveo-facet-column">
  <div class="CoveoDynamicFacetManager">
    <div class="CoveoDynamicFacet" data-field="@prd_brand" data-title="Brand"></div>
    <div class="CoveoDynamicFacet" data-field="@prd_category" data-title="Category Type"></div>
    <div class="CoveoDynamicQueryFacetGenerator" data-depends-on="@prd_category"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Before you initialize the UI, make sure you pass the facet fields dictionary to the DynamicQueryFacetGenerator component

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
  Coveo.SearchEndpoint.configureSampleEndpointV2();
  Coveo.init(document.body, {
    DynamicQueryFacetGenerator: {
      dictionary: {
        "computer": "Computer Name",
        "phone": "Phone"
      },
      queryToExecute: "@source==BBQs",
      noOfResults: 25
    }
  });
})

Transform

There is a public transform method available to transform the fieldname into a title.

Dictionary

The dictionary is used to transform the field name into a proper title.

Blacklist

If certain facets should never be shown. Add them to the blacklist.

Options

The following options can be configured:

| Option | Required | Type | Default | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | queryToExecute | No | string | | Query to execute to fetch the facet values. | | `noOfResults` | No | number | `15` | How many results must be examines when checking for facet values. Recommendation: 15 | | `noOfFacets` | No | number | `10` | How many facets must be added to the UI | | `dependsOn` | No | string | | Which other facet does this component rely on. Only when this facet has a selection the facets will be added. | | debug | No | boolean | false | Show the timing information for the facet requests. | | useAdvancedQuery | No | boolean | false | Must the advanced query (the facet selections) also be used to retrieve the facets. | | useOnlyUserFields | No | boolean | true | When retrieving facet fields from the index. Only use 'User' defined fields. Else 'System' fields will also be used. | | usePush | No | boolean | false | Use the Push approach (query the index on a specific push source). Make sure that the queryToExecute points to the push source. This will use the getValues of the defined facet (pushGroupField)| | usePushAsQuery | No | boolean | false | Use the Push approach (but examine the query instead of using the getValues method) | | pushGroupField | No | string | | Field needed for the usePush method | | tresholdPercentage | No | number | 30 | A facet is only considered if it is present on tresholdPercentage% of the results | | blacklist | No | string | field1,field2,field3 | The fields which should not be added to the UI | | dictionary | No | string | `` | See above for instructions |

Extending

Extending the component can be done as follows:

import { DynamicQueryFacetGenerator, IDynamicQueryFacetGeneratorOptions } from "@coveops/dynamic-query-facet-generator";

export interface IExtendedDynamicQueryFacetGeneratorOptions extends IDynamicQueryFacetGeneratorOptions {}

export class ExtendedDynamicQueryFacetGenerator extends DynamicQueryFacetGenerator {}

Contribute

  1. Clone the project
  2. Copy .env.dist to .env and update the COVEO_ORG_ID and COVEO_TOKEN fields in the .env file to use your Coveo credentials and SERVER_PORT to configure the port of the sandbox - it will use 8080 by default.
  3. Build the code base: npm run build
  4. Serve the sandbox for live development npm run serve
