Switching from Algolia to TypeSense for Project

TLDR Nikunj inquired about shifting their Algolia-based project to TypeSense. Kishore Nallan helped by suggesting to use the TypeSense Instantsearch Adapter and the browse method to export data from Algolia to TypeSense cloud.

My Project is having a filter box completely based on algolia,
We are using the mentioned function directly from react-instantsearch-dom

InstantSearch,
    connectSearchBox,
    Configure,
    connectMenu,
    connectRefinementList,
    connectToggleRefinement,
    connectStats,
    connectInfiniteHits,
    connectStateResults,
    Panel

do we have alternative of these functions here in type-sense?

You can use our Instantsearch Adapter to directly use InstanstSearch but with Typesense backend: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-adapter

You can use the browse method with attributesToRetrieve. To export all records, use an empty query: https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-methods/browse/
