Mendable InPlace Component

Before install, make sure you have either signed up through our platform or we have provided you with the ANON_KEY. Without the key, you won't be able to setup the search component.

Mendable InPlace Component (Beta)

This component is the Mendable Chat only, does not include an activation component or dialog transitions, making it easy for you to create your own activations on top of it.

The component is now is Beta but not all the props from other components are fully available in it yet.

Usage

import { MendableInPlace } from "@mendable/search"

const style = { darkMode: false, accentColor: "#123456" }

<MendableInPlace anon_key='YOUR_ANON_KEY' style={style}  />

Keyword Search

We also provide keyword search as seen on the Langchain Documentation. This combines keyword with AI Search in one modal. When the user starts typing, it will almost instantly display results for the search query. It also allows the user to use AI search by pressing "Ask Mendable AI".

To enable keyword search, you need to pass the showSimpleSearch prop to the component.

import { MendableSearchBar } from "@mendable/search"

<MendableInPlace anon_key='YOUR_ANON_KEY' showSimpleSearch />

Props

Callback functions

The MendableInplace component provides callback functions for tracking events inside the component.

• onMessageForTracking : This function is triggered whenever a message is sent in the component. The function receives the question and the answer as parameters. This can be used for logging or analytics purposes.

Example

import { MendableInPlace } from "@mendable/search"


function MySearchComponent() {
  const handleOnMessage = (question, answer, sources) => {
    console.log("User asked:", question);
    console.log("Received answer:", answer);
    console.log("Sources:", sources);
    // You can add additional tracking or analytics logic here.
  };

  return (
    <MendableInPlace
      anon_key="YOUR_ANON_KEY"
      onMessageForTracking={handleOnMessage}
    />
  );
}

• onSourceClickedForTracking : This function is triggered whenever a source is clicked in the search results. The function receives the source as a parameter. This can be used for logging or tracking user interactions.

Example

import { MendableInPlace } from "@mendable/search"

function handleOnSourceClicked(source) {
  console.log("User clicked on source:", source);
  // Add tracking or logging logic here
}

<MendableInPlace
  anon_key='YOUR_ANON_KEY'
  onSourceClickedForTracking={handleOnSourceClicked}
/>

• onRateClicked : This function is triggered whenever an answer is rated as helpful or not. The function receives the isLiked as a parameter which is true for 'Yes' and false for 'No'.

Example

import { MendableChatBubble } from "@mendable/search"

function handleOnRating(isLiked, question, answer, sources) {
  console.log("User liked the question?", isLiked);
  // Add tracking or logging logic here
}

<MendableChatBubble
  anon_key='YOUR_ANON_KEY'
  onRateClicked={handleOnRating}
/>

Use these functions to gain insights into how users are interacting with the search bar.

Metadata Filtering (Beta)

You can filter out sources based on metadata on the component level. This is useful if you want to filter out sources based on the version of the document or any other metadata you have ingested. Metadata ingestion is currently only available through the /ingestDocuments endpoint.

To use metadata filtering on the component level, use the metadata prop in your component:

<MendableSearchBar
  anon_key="YOUR_ANON_KEY"
  metadata={{
    version: { $lte: 6 },
    age: { $eq: 22 },
  }}
/>

The metadata parameter is an object that contains the metadata you want to filter on. The key is the name of the metadata and the value is an object that contains the operator and the value you want to filter on.

The above example will filter in only the sources that have a version less than or equal to 6 and an age equal to 22.

Metadata supports the following operators:

• $eq - equal to (string, int, float)
• $ne - not equal to (string, int, float)
• $gt - greater than (int, float)
• $gte - greater than or equal to (int, float)
• $lt - less than (int, float)
• $lte - less than or equal to (int, float)
• $in - matches any value in an array (string, int, float)

It currently does not support and, or operators, but we plan to support them soon.
