• ✨  Release Notes
• 📖  Documentation

Features

• 🍀  SSR First, client only on demand, as is any other nuxt component
• 🗼  Centralized state, you can tap into it from anywhere in your app
• 🌲  Near-full parity with vue-instantsearch widget APIs
• 👮  Typed components

v1 release

@atoms-studio/nuxt-swiftsearch@1.x is now live on the latest npm dist-tag.

• Install stable:

bun add @atoms-studio/nuxt-swiftsearch

• Track prereleases:

bun add @atoms-studio/nuxt-swiftsearch@beta

What's in v1

• ✅  Nuxt 4-first SSR architecture with deterministic widget tree ownership
• 🧠  Compile-time declarative transform that generates :widgets
• 🧩  Scoped widget IDs with explicit indexId isolation rules
• 🛣️  Nuxt-first router state sync through useAisRouter()
• 🧪  Expanded parity/e2e coverage against Vue InstantSearch fixtures

Vue InstantSearch compatibility

Swiftsearch v1 tracks vue-instantsearch@4.24.3 parity:

• 36/37 upstream widgets are implemented with equivalent behavior
• AisInstantSearchSsr is intentionally not a separate component because SSR is built into AisInstantSearch
• AisConfigureRelatedItems is available as a compatibility alias for AisExperimentalConfigureRelatedItems

See full matrix and audit details in docs/content/1.getting-started/6.widget-coverage-upstream-audit.md.
