Faceted Search with Headless API

New Member Posts: 11 Join Date: 2/27/12 Recent Posts

I was hoping that someone from the community - or Liferay internal teams - could provide a simple example of how to pass back facet entries selected by a user to a headless resource?

I am able to generate the Facets themselves via interaction with the SearchContext and include them in the response payload. It's just not clear to me what I need to do with them when a user selects one. For example:

  • Should I be converting them into Odata filters?
  • Is there a way to format them so that they are transformed into an Aggregation?

Any help on this would be much appreciated as I am unable to find documentation that deals with this very specific scenario.
