Hey everyone,

We’re integrating MongoDB Atlas Search into our React/React Native app and are looking for a way to integrate MongoDB Atlas Search efficiently, so we can focus more on optimizing search functionality rather than spending time building UIs and writing complex aggregation queries."

For example, Algolia has InstantSearch for UI and API clients—does something similar exist for MongoDB Atlas?

We tried ReactiveSearch, but it relies on the deprecated MongoDB Data API, so that’s a dead end.

What we need:

  • Frontend: A React/React Native library for search UI (facets, filters, autocomplete).
  • Backend: A library to simplify Atlas Search queries (instead of writing raw aggregations).

Would really appreciate any suggestions, workarounds, or best practices from the community. Has anyone found an efficient way to handle this?

Thanks in advance! :blush:

The Atlas Search Demo Builder might also be a helpful tool for the backend piece. You can upload a sample of your data, add things like facets using the settings in the right panel, and the index and query definitions will get auto-generated in the bottom panels.
