About this component

If you’re looking for Next.js App Router support, a dedicated react-instantsearch-nextjs experimental package is available. Check the documentation for its usage.

<InstantSearchSSRProvider> is the provider component that forwards the server state to <InstantSearch>. It’s designed to support server-side rendering (SSR) in your InstantSearch application.

To retrieve the server state and pass it down to the component, you need to use getServerState().
