Feature request: AlgoliaSearch 5 support

[leonard-henriquez]

Do you have an ETA on when InstantSearch will be compatible with the AlgoliaSearch 5 client ?

[Haroenv]

@leonard-henriquez, could you clarify how it isn't supported? The types should support it, and the code definitely does

[Haroenv]

@aliou, yes that's just fixed, but not yet released in InstantSearch, will be soon!

@Haroenv Thanks for the fix!

Regarding the initial issue of the type mismatch when passing the algoliasearch v5 client to the InstantSearch component. I've created a repo that reproduces the issue : https://github.com/aliou/algolia-instantsearch-type-issue-repro.

Let me know if you need more info!

Not sure yet what's not working related to searchForFacetValues, but I do know that liteClient works, which is generally recommended because it's much smaller:

import { InstantSearch } from 'react-instantsearch-core';
import { liteClient } from 'algoliasearch/lite';

const searchClient = liteClient('', '');

function App() {
  return (
    <InstantSearch searchClient={searchClient} indexName="">
      <div>hello</div>
    </InstantSearch>
  );
}

Hey @Haroenv, we're investigating moving to another provider, so you can close this discussion thread. Thanks!

[Haroenv]

Discussions can't be closed, but I hope you're not looking to move providers just because of this issue?
