Configured Hawksearch widgets - Kentico: Working with widgets

Extending the templates

  1. In order to override the default view file the Hawksearch search box widget uses you need to create a razor view file in your

...

  1. frontend project at Views/Shared/Components/SearchBox/Default.cshtml.

  2. In order to add additional templates, create corresponding view files under Views/Shared/Components/SearchBox/ .

    When displayed in the widget settings, they will be split by capital letters and words after the first will be lowercased. So a view file called “SearchBoxTemplateOne“ will be displayed like “Search box template one” in the widget settings.

    The way the connector is designed it will automatically find the razor view files in that folder and use them. Below is the Default.cshtml code used for each NuGet version.

Feel free to modify the given code to your liking, but there are a few things to be careful of. It is important to note that the overall widget needs to be wrapped in a div element with the class “vue-app-wrapper-ae“ and to have the data attributes present as in the snippet above, otherwise functionality might not work as expected. Currently, the connector locates those divs in a page when initializing the Vue.js components.
