How To Implement Search In Next.js – Part 8.1 Epic Next.js Tutorial for Beginners

🚀 How to implement search in Next.js application. Checkout the post for code snippets here https://strp.cc/3UDCgEt [ UPDATED TO STRAPI 5 ]

In this React tutorial, we will learn how to implement search inside your Next.js application.

We create a new search component using a code snippet from a blog article. We install the 'use-debounce' library and use Next.js hooks like 'useSearchParams', 'useRouter', and 'usePathname' to handle the search functionality.

The covered in the tutorial

1. Create a search component: Create a new component called "Search.tsx" in your Next.js project's "components" folder. This component will handle the search functionality.

2. Install dependencies: Install the "use-debounce" library by running the command "yarn add use-debounce" in your project's root directory. This library will help add a delay when users are typing in the search box.

3. Implement the search logic: Inside the "Search.tsx" component, import the necessary hooks and functions such as "useSearchParams", "useRouter", and "useDebounceCallback". Use these hooks to handle the search functionality, including updating the search query in the URL and making API calls based on the search query.

4. Add the search component to your page: Import the "Search" component into the page where you want to implement search. Place it in the desired location, such as above a list of items.

5. Update API calls: Modify your API calls or data fetching functions to include the search query as a parameter. Use the query parameter to filter and retrieve data based on the search query.

6. Test and verify: Test your search functionality by entering search terms in the search box and verifying that the results are filtered accordingly.
