Requirements

To implement this feature, we will need to meet the following requirements:

  • Search Component: The search component should be properly set up and functional.
  • Filter Sidebar: The filter sidebar should be created and integrated with the search component.
  • Mock Return Type: If issue #3858 is not closed, we will scaffold out with a mock return type to ensure that the feature is properly structured.

Implementation

Step 1: Set Up Search Component

To start implementing the filter sidebar, we need to ensure that the search component is properly set up and functional. This includes setting up the search input field, the search button, and the search results container.

<!-- search-component.html -->
<div class="search-component">
    <input type="search" placeholder="Search...">
    <button>Search</button>
    <div class="search-results"></div>
</div>

Step 2: Create Filter Sidebar

Next, we need to create the filter sidebar. This will include creating the filter sidebar container, the filter options, and the filter apply button.

<!-- filter-sidebar.html -->
<div class="filter-sidebar">
    <h2>Filter Options</h2>
    <ul>
        <li>
            <input type="checkbox" id="option-1">
            <label for="option-1">Option 1</label>
        </li>
        <li>
            <input type="checkbox" id="option-2">
            <label for="option-2">Option 2</label>
        </li>
        <li>
            <input type="checkbox" id="option-3">
            <label for="option-3">Option 3</label>
        </li>
    </ul>
    <button>Apply Filters</button>
</div>

Step 3: Integrate Filter Sidebar with Search Component

Now that we have created the filter sidebar, we need to integrate it with the search component. This includes adding filter sidebar container to the search component and making the filter options and apply button functional.

<!-- search-component.html -->
<div class="search-component">
    <input type="search" placeholder="Search...">
    <button>Search</button>
    <div class="search-results"></div>
    <div class="filter-sidebar">
        <h2>Filter Options</h2>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <input type="checkbox" id="option-1">
                <label for="option-1">Option 1</label>
            </li>
            <li>
                <input type="checkbox" id="option-2">
                <label for="option-2">Option 2</label>
            </li>
            <li>
                <input type="checkbox" id="option-3">
                <label for="option-3">Option 3</label>
            </li>
        </ul>
        <button>Apply Filters</button>
    </div>
</div>

Step 4: Add Mock Return Type (if necessary)

If issue #3858 is not closed, we will scaffold out with a mock return type to ensure that the feature is properly structured.

// search-component.ts
interface SearchResults {
    results: any[];
}

class SearchComponent {
    search(query: string): SearchResults {
        // Mock return type
        return {
            results: []
        };
    }
}
