# QuerySuggestion

This component renders a suggestion for a query. A query suggestion is a recommended query
based on previous search queries. It contains the query itself and a set of filters associated.
For example, if you're searching for _shirt_, a query suggestion could be _long sleeve shirt_.

  the event is emitted after the user clicks the button. The event payload is the query suggestion

Here you can see how a single query suggestion is rendered using the `suggestion` prop.

```vue live
<template>
  <QuerySuggestion :suggestion="suggestion" />
</template>

<script>
import { QuerySuggestion } from '@empathyco/x-components/query-suggestions'
export default {
  name: 'QuerySuggestionDemo',
  components: {
    QuerySuggestion,
  },
  data() {
    return {
      suggestion: {
        modelName: 'QuerySuggestion',
        query: 'tshirt',
        facets: [],
      },
    }
  },
}
</script>
```

### Play with default slot

In this example, we are adding an emoji next to the suggestion.

```vue live
<template>
  <QuerySuggestion :suggestion="suggestion" #default="{ suggestion }">
    <span>🔍</span>
    <span>{{ suggestion.query }}</span>
  </QuerySuggestion>
</template>

<script>
import { QuerySuggestion } from '@empathyco/x-components/query-suggestions'
export default {
  name: 'QuerySuggestionDemo',
  components: {
    QuerySuggestion,
  },
  data() {
    return {
      suggestion: {
        modelName: 'QuerySuggestion',
        query: 'tshirt',
        facets: [],
      },
    }
  },
}
</script>
```

### Play with events

In this example, when you click on the query suggestion, a message is displayed to illustrate that
the `UserSelectedAQuerySuggestion` event has been triggered.

```vue live
<template>
  <QuerySuggestion :suggestion="suggestion" @UserSelectedAQuerySuggestion="alertSuggestion" />
</template>

<script>
import { QuerySuggestion } from '@empathyco/x-components/query-suggestions'
export default {
  name: 'QuerySuggestionDemo',
  components: {
    QuerySuggestion,
  },
  data() {
    return {
      suggestion: {
        modelName: 'QuerySuggestion',
        query: 'tshirt',
        facets: [],
      },
    }
  },
  methods: {
    alertSuggestion(querySuggestion) {
      alert(`You have clicked the query suggestion: ${querySuggestion.query}`)
    },
  },
}
</script>
```
