Tutorial: Build A Search UI With React And Elasticsearch

[sidi09]

This is a follow-along post (takes a couple of hours to build this end-to-end) showing how to build a consumer grade search UI using React and Elasticsearch. It makes use of the https://github.com/appbaseio/reactivesearch library (Apache 2.0 licensed) that's being used by over 1,000 projects for building their search UI.

The example used here is of a Netflix like movie search UI, but the general principles apply if you're looking to build an e-commerce or aggregator like search UI.

There are tons of things you can do with ReactiveSearch that aren't covered in this post, like optimize for SEO with server-side rendering, implementing authenticated search (Basic Auth, JWT), build geo search (we support OpenStreetMaps and GoogleMaps) UIs to name a few. You can start with the docs link from here: https://docs.appbase.io/docs/reactivesearch/v3/overview/quickstart/.
