Relationships between facets non-existant

[danhodkinson]

Bug: What is the current behavior?
Using the refinementList connector, the counts for the facet items have no relationship with each other.

Bug: What is the expected behavior?
If I select a defaultRefinementList then my other refinements don't update. No relationships exist between them.

What is the version you are using? Always use the latest one before opening a bug issue.
Latest React Instant search

Further
I have have the <SearchBox> widget, with two connectRefinementList and another connectMenu which asks as the default refinement that the user queries against.

Everything works as expected. I apply the filters on the facets and the results update. But it seems as though no relationship exists amongst them. If I add a country to my location facet. I expect the count of the hits on the other facet to be reduced.

E.g. for the defaultRefinement of a brand we have about 350 results, which is reflected in the <Stats> widget. However on the country facet, the item>count is over 1000. Which seems as though it's relationship is to the whole index. and not the existing search state.

Are you using distinct?

A replication of your exact setup would be nice, there's a template here

@Haroenv I'm not using distinct to my knowledge. Although it looks as though that is to do with de-duplication?

I'll attempt to get a replication set up, although i'm going through redux to maintain my store so it may take a bit of time

upon further inspection.. it seems that the wrapping of facets in another <InstantSearch> appears to be at the root of the issue.
using this code

<InstantSearch
            appId={config.algolia.id}
            apiKey={config.algolia.api}
            indexName={config.algolia.index}
            onSearchStateChange={this.onSearchStateChange}
            searchState={this.props.searchState}
          >
            <Facet attributeName="country" />
          </InstantSearch>

the numbers are for the full index, no matter what i query, even though the searchState is updating.
However, if I remove the wrapper then the item counts update when querying or applying other facets.. But the facets then don't persist when in a dialog box.

Why do you need to wrap InstantSearch instances in eachother? If you want to use several indices, you might want to try the Index component. I’m wondering what usecase you have

[danhodkinson]

@Haroenv I have several facets, each in a different dialog box. The only way to have them update and persist was to have each of them wrapped around a new <InstantSearch> component (as recommended elsewhere on here. And then synced to a VirtualMenu.

Hi @danhodkinson, thanks for those explanations!

It seems that your issue is linked to this one #892. If I correctly understand at the end you want that your refinements persist even when the modal is not on the screen. If you have the time to setup an example it would be great, you can find a template on CodeSandbox.
