[Need Help] Browse with pagination

[kurokochin]

So I have this use case where I need to browse more than 1000 items per page, so I use browse method, but since it have pagination I also use helper.setPage(xx), where helper is algoliasearchhelper & xx is the number of page, it works fine for page 0, 1, 2 but it started to broke when page larger than 3, it returns you should pass cursor of current page to fetch next page. What should I do to fix this?

Code snippet:

export function browseSearchWithPaginationResults(
  searchParameters,
  searchIndex,
  APIKey = ALGOLIA_API_KEY,
) {
  const algolia = algoliasearch(ALGOLIA_APP_NAME, APIKey);

  const index = algolia.initIndex(searchIndex);
  const helper = algoliasearchHelper(algolia, searchIndex);
  Object.entries(searchParameters).map(([k, v]) => {
    helper.setQueryParameter(k, v);
  });

  const { page } = searchParameters;
  if (page) {
    helper.setPage(page);
  }

  const queries = requestBuilder._getQueries(searchIndex, helper.state);
  const queryParams = queries[0].params;
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    index.browse(queryParams, (err, _hits) => {
      const hits = _hits || { hits: [] };
      resolve({
        searchIndex: searchIndex,
        searchParameters: Object.assign({}, helper.getState()),
        content: searchResults,
      });
    });
  });
}

I already add the description.

Hmm, I've been trying this out, and it works fine for me, only change I made is making it work in node and use an API Key which had the browse ACL (do you have that too)?

const algoliasearchHelper = require('algoliasearch-helper');
const requestBuilder = require('algoliasearch-helper/src/requestBuilder');
const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
const { SearchResults } = algoliasearchHelper;

const ALGOLIA_API_KEY = ''; //(send me an email and I can give you an API Key on my index to try this out)
const ALGOLIA_APP_NAME = 'OFCNCOG2CU';

function browseSearchWithPaginationResults(
  searchParameters,
  searchIndex,
  APIKey = ALGOLIA_API_KEY
) {
  const algolia = algoliasearch(ALGOLIA_APP_NAME, APIKey);

  const index = algolia.initIndex(searchIndex);
  const helper = algoliasearchHelper(algolia, searchIndex);

  helper.state.setQueryParameters(searchParameters);

  const { page } = searchParameters;
  if (page) {
    helper.setPage(page);
  }

  const queries = requestBuilder._getQueries(searchIndex, helper.state);
  const queryParams = queries[0].params;
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    index.browse(queryParams, (err, _hits) => {
      if (err) {
        reject(err);
      }
      const hits = _hits || { hits: [] };
      let searchResults;
      try {
        searchResults = new SearchResults(helper.getState(), [
          Object.assign({}, hits, { query: '' }),
          hits,
        ]);
      } catch (e) {
        const newHelper = algoliasearchHelper(algolia, searchIndex);
        searchResults = new SearchResults(newHelper.getState(), [
          Object.assign({}, hits, { query: '' }),
          hits,
        ]);

        newHelper.state.setQueryParameters(searchParameters);
        // you probably want to do something with `newHelper`?
      } finally {
        resolve({
          searchIndex,
          searchParameters: Object.assign({}, helper.getState()),
          content: searchResults,
        });
      }
    });
  });
}

browseSearchWithPaginationResults(
  {
    query: 'hi there',
    page: 819,
  },
  'npm-search'
)
  .then(({ content: { hits, nbHits } }) =>
    console.log({ nbHits, hits: hits.length })
  )
  .catch(console.log);
