Coveo SortDropdown Component (CoveoSortDropdown)

The SortDropdown component renders a dropdown that the end user can interact with to select the criteria to use when sorting query results.

It is meant to be a parent of regular Sort components. Example:

<div class="CoveoSortDropdown">
  <span class="CoveoSort" data-sort-criteria="relevancy" data-caption="Relevance"></span>
  <span class="CoveoSort" data-sort-criteria="date descending" data-caption="Newest"></span>
  <span class="CoveoSort" data-sort-criteria="date ascending" data-caption="Oldest"></span>
</div>

Each one of the children Sort components should have only one sort criteria to prevent the regular toggle behaviour.

    • Default value executeQuery: boolean = false

      Whether to execute a query after changing the sort criteria

    Returns void

Static get

  • get(element: HTMLElement, componentClass?: any, noThrow?: boolean): BaseComponent

  • Get the bound component to the given HTMLElement. Throws an assert if the HTMLElement has no component bound, unless using the noThrow argument.
    If there is multiple component bound to the current HTMLElement, you must specify the component class.

    Parameters

    • element: HTMLElement

      HTMLElement for which to get the bound component.

    • Optional componentClass: any

      Optional component class. If the HTMLElement has multiple components bound, you must specify which one you are targeting.

    • Optional noThrow: boolean

      Boolean option to tell the method to not throw on error.

    Returns BaseComponent

Properties

bind

bind: ComponentEvents

Allows the component to bind events and execute them only when it is enabled.

componentOptionsModel

componentOptionsModel: ComponentOptionsModel

Contains the state of options for different components. Mainly used by ResultLink.

{boolean}

logger

logger: Logger

Allows component to log in the dev console.

queryController

queryController: QueryController
