onSearchStateChange is called multiple times

[wedneyyuri]

The method onSearchStateChange is called multiple times (one time per facet added), it's causing side effects because we are using this method for URL Sync. Every time the URL change we need to trigger other events (page transitions, google analytics events, ...)

Example:

<InstantSearch appId={appId} apiKey={apiKey} indexName={indexName} onSearchStateChange={(v => console.log('onSearchStateChange', v))}>
   { ... }
<InstantSearch />

This is expected, since the search state does actually change. I feel like those side effects will need other conditions to be ran than just the search state.

Would it be possible to add more data inside the callback? It is now quite difficult to understand what caused the state change. In my case I need to add 30 facets at once, and I can't ignore the state change simply by looking at the router (which is asynchronous).

Can you give a code sample of how what you are doing in the callback?

I don't think we will be able to give more info since it's "declarative" i.e. we do not know what causes a change, but only the state at the time of the change
