Algolia facetFilters with php

[Snoker87]

Hello in my Algolia.tsx file I have this block of code

 params: {
                  hitsPerPage: 5,
                  attributesToSnippet: ["name:10", "desc:35"],
                  snippetEllipsisText: "…",
                  facetFilters: "college_id:1"
                }

As you see facetFilters: "college_id:1" college_id is set to 1 statically I want to make it with blade like
college_id:{{$student->college->id}}
dynamically
how can I make this ? Is There anyway to define those params outside the algolia.tsx file ?

Hey @Snoker87,

I'm not familiar with Blade, so I don't know how well it integrates with JSX. As far as I'm aware, Blade is mainly used for rendering HTML, so the JavaScript used there needs to be already interpretable for the browser (which isn't the case of JSX which must be compiled).

One possibility would be to store the value you need to pass to Autocomplete on the window object from your Blade template, and reading it from there. You'll have to make sure Autocomplete is instantiated after this declaration though.
