Coveo Triggers Component (CoveoTriggers)

The Triggers component enables the use of triggers (notify, execute, query, redirect) generated by the Coveo Search API (see Trigger) in the query pipeline (see Managing the Query Pipeline).

To enable the triggers functionality in your JavaScript Search Framework interface, incorporate a div with the coveoTriggers class. For example: <div class="coveoTriggers"></div>.

Note: adding the Triggers component gives query pipeline administrators the power to influence users' search experience. Bad actors will be able to perform XSS attacks, or redirect users to dangerous sites. Make sure only individuals you trust have query pipeline edit privileges.

Methods

debugInfo

  • debugInfo(): any

disable

  • disable(): void
  • Disable the component. Normally this means that the component will not execute handlers for the framework events (query events, for example). Components are enabled by default on creation.

    Returns void

enable

  • enable(): void
  • Enable the component. Normally this means that the component will execute handlers for the framework events (query events, for example). Components are enabled by default on creation.

    Returns void

getBindings

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

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

type

{Coveo.ComponentEvents}

componentOptionsModel

componentOptionsModel: ComponentOptionsModel

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

componentStateModel

componentStateModel: ComponentStateModel

Contains the state of different components (enabled vs disabled). Allows to get/set values. Triggers component state event when modified. Each component can listen to those events.

disabled

disabled: boolean

A disabled component will not participate in the query, or listen to ComponentEvents.

type

{boolean}

logger

logger: Logger

Allows component to log in the dev console.

notifications

notifications: string[]

The list of notifications returned by the Search API for the current query (via notify triggers).

The Triggers component automatically renders this list visually.

queryController

queryController: QueryController

Contains the singleton that allows to trigger queries.

queryStateModel

queryStateModel: QueryStateModel

Contains the state of the query. Allows to get/set values. Trigger query state event when modified. Each component can listen to those events.

root

root: HTMLElement

A reference to the root HTMLElement (the SearchInterface).

searchInterface

searchInterface: SearchInterface

A reference to the root of every component, the SearchInterface.

Static ID

ID: string

The static ID that each component needs in order to be identified.
For example, SearchButton -> static ID: SearchButton -> className: CoveoSearchButton

Accessors

Constructors

constructor

  • Creates a new Triggers component.

    Parameters

    • element: HTMLElement

      The HTMLElement on which to instantiate the component.

    • Optional options: ITriggersOptions

      The options for the Triggers component.

    • Optional bindings: IComponentBindings

      The bindings that the component requires to function normally. If not set, these will be automatically resolved (with a slower execution time).

    • Optional _window: Window

      The window on which to execute the triggers.

    Returns Triggers
