Is there any way to add user specific info to result of algolia?

Hi,

I need to append some info related to authenticated user to the result returned by algolia algoliasearchHelper. I tried to make a ajax request inside helper.on method

helper.on('result', function(data) {
        renderHits(data);
        myfunction(data);
});

but I always get this error: “Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation”. Do you have any kind of suggestion?

Regards

Can you open another issue with a more descriptive content? It’s a lot easier to deal with and for people to refer to in the future, thanks!

There’s a formatData function on the hits widget that let’s you rework the hits.

Unfortunately it is not yet asynchronous compatible, we could add that maybe by just supporting returning promises.

In the meantime what I would do is just put some <div class="more-data" data-object-id="$OBJECTID"></div> in your hit template.

Then fill it after each search, like this:

search.on('render', function() {
  var more = document.querySelectorAll('.more-data');
  // loop through all the more data elements, find the object id, do the requests, fill in the html
});

What do you think?
