To get started, you need a container for your recommendations to go in—in this guide, one for Frequently Bought Together, and one for Related Products. If you don't have containers already, you can insert them into your markup:
<divid="frequentlyBoughtTogether"></div><divid="relatedProducts"></div>Then, insert your recommendations by calling the frequentlyBoughtTogether function and providing the container. It can be a CSS selector or an Element.
The process is the same for relatedProducts.
/** @jsx h */import{h}from'preact';import{frequentlyBoughtTogether,relatedProducts,}from'@algolia/recommend-js';importrecommendfrom'@algolia/recommend';constrecommendClient=recommend('YourApplicationID','YourSearchOnlyAPIKey');constindexName='YOUR_INDEX_NAME';constcurrentObjectID='YOUR_OBJECT_ID';frequentlyBoughtTogether({container: '#frequentlyBoughtTogether',
recommendClient,
indexName,objectIDs: [currentObjectID],itemComponent({ item }){return(<pre><code>{JSON.stringify(item)}</code></pre>);},});relatedProducts({container: '#relatedProducts',
recommendClient,
indexName,objectIDs: [currentObjectID],itemComponent({ item }){return(<pre><code>{JSON.stringify(item)}</code></pre>);},});For React
Import the FrequentlyBoughtTogether and RelatedProducts and use them in your parent component.
importReactfrom'react';import{FrequentlyBoughtTogether,RelatedProducts,}from'@algolia/recommend-react';importrecommendfrom'@algolia/recommend';constrecommendClient=recommend('YourApplicationID','YourSearchOnlyAPIKey');constindexName='YOUR_INDEX_NAME';functionApp({ currentObjectID }){// ...return(<div><FrequentlyBoughtTogetherrecommendClient={recommendClient}indexName={indexName}objectIDs={[currentObjectID]}itemComponent={({ item })=>{return(<pre><code>{JSON.stringify(item)}</code></pre>);}}/><RelatedProductsrecommendClient={recommendClient}indexName={indexName}objectIDs={[currentObjectID]}itemComponent={({ item })=>{return(<pre><code>{JSON.stringify(item)}</code></pre>);}}/></div>);}Continue reading our Getting Started guide.
