I am trying to implement Algolia Docsearch with MadCap Flare. Flare is a technical documentation tool that generates HTML output.

Docsearch's underlying crawler is configured and works properly in codepen. However, I am having an issue integrating it with Flare. Flare has a number of inbuilt scripts, which I cannot access or change, including require.js. I get a bunch of errors, Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module.., when I run the build.

So to fix this, I gave a stab at loading the Docsearch js using require.js, which I am doing completely wrong. My JS knowledge is limited!

Html search input:

<div class="input-group">

    <input id="<YOUR_CSS_SELECTOR>"  type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search Field" aria-describedby="infoSearch" />

</div>

Original Algolia Docsearch CDN js and snippet is something like this:

<!-- Before the closing </body> -->

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsearch.js@2/dist/cdn/docsearch.min.js">

    </script>

    <script>

    docsearch({

        apiKey: '<API_KEY>',

        indexName: '<INDEX_NAME>',

        inputSelector: '<YOUR_CSS_SELECTOR>',

        debug: false

    });

    </script>

So to load these scripts using require.js I have done the following:

<script type="text/javascript">

require.config({

    enforceDefine: true,

    paths: {

        "docSearch": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsearch.js@2/dist/cdn/docsearch.min.js"

    },

    waitSeconds: 40

});

require(['docSearch']);//This is probably not doing anything.

</script>

<script>

docsearch({

    apiKey: '<API_KEY>',

    indexName: '<INDEX_NAME>',

    inputSelector: '<YOUR_CSS_SELECTOR>',

    debug: false

}); //This throws "Uncaught Reference Error docsearch is not defined" error

</script>

I looked at other threads/questions and require.js docs as well, but couldn't find something that could figure out. Any help/guidance would be great!

I think you should include something like

    <script>

/* <![CDATA[ */



require.config( {

    paths: {

        "docsearchLib": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/docsearch.js/2/docsearch.min"

    }

}



);

require(["docsearchLib"], function(docsearch) {

    docsearch( {

        apiKey: '<API_KEY>', indexName: '<INDEX_NAME>', inputSelector: '<YOUR_CSS_SELECTOR>', debug: false,

    }

    );

}



);

/* ]]> */



</script>

You might want to have a look to https://docs.solace.com/, they are actually using DocSearch and require.js altogether
