Re-populating filters from elastic search after navigating.

[RukshanJS]

I have a screen (say screen A) where Reactive Search is working fine to get some Books let's say. I have 2 filter fields (MULTILIST) with values as follows.

• genre => comic, biography.
• yearPublished => 1950-2000, 2005-2020

What I need to get done,
On another screen (say screen B), I can click a button Preset1 which has genre as comic, yearPublished as 1950-2000 associated with it. When I click this, I want to navigate to screen A, and apply the values comic to genre and 1950-2000 to yearPublished, and re-render the ReactiveList.

How can I update the redux store/ set the filters from a component outside the scope of ReactiveBase component?

P.S. => I could do this using a component under the ReactiveBase component (using SelectedFilters and its setValue prop), but have problems doing this from a component outside ReactiveBase (because the two screens are in different routes)

@RukshanJS Can you try using the StateProvider component for doing this? It gives you access to the current state of ReactiveBase, which can then be used in a controlled fashion to set the state of a relevant component.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I'll use it and give you an update.

@siddharthlatest I tried using StateProvider, but it does not have any method to "SET" the state of the filters programmatically, right? I can "GET" the state but could you please clarify how this can be used to set the state? - I want to be able to firstly have the above mentioned filters applied when I go from screen B to screen A (as in my original post). So when I go from Screen B to Screen A, my filters are applied programmatically and relevant results are already displayed.

Ok so I have some progress. I have used the defaultQuery prop of ReactiveList to display the results from a stored query. Then to update my UI filters (for already selected filters) I'm using a separate state management approach (mentioned in my original post - using SelectedFilters component). Still not sure if I'm able to populate the RS filters (UI) from code, but hope my method is alright. If you can share any suggestions, highly appreciated! Thanks. :)
