Vue-InstantSearch with Algolia & Laravel: Hide result on empty query - laravel

Question

I'd like to figure out how to hide the index/result on an empty search query.
In my blade I have the code (slightly modified from the official documentation):
<ais-instant-search index-name="myIndex" :search-client="searchClient">
<ais-search-box placeholder="Search here"></ais-search-box>
<ais-state-results>
<template slot-scope="{ state: { query } }">
<ais-hits v-if="query.length > 0">
<div slot="item" slot-scope="{ item }">
<h2>#{{ item.Title}}</h2>
<p>#{{ item.Text}}</p>
</div>
</ais-hits>
</template>
</ais-state-results>
</ais-instant-search>
If I enter a search query this works fine, but on empty query this displays the following unwanted notification on my page (instead of the before unwanted index):
Use this component to have a different layout based on a certain state.
Fill in the slot, and get access to the following things on the slot-scope:
results: [
"_rawResults",
"hits",
"nbHits",
[..]
How can I hide this notification?

Answer 1

Ah, I just found a solution I think.
This notification text is displayed if there's no DOM element inside <ais-hits>. And in case of no query there isn't, since "v-if" removes that. So If instead of "v-if" I use "v-show" it works as I need it, since the DOM element still exists, but isn't displayed (display:hidden).
<ais-instant-search index-name="myIndex" :search-client="searchClient">
<ais-search-box placeholder="Search here"></ais-search-box>
<ais-state-results>
<template slot-scope="{ state: { query } }">
<ais-hits v-show="query.length > 0">
<div slot="item" slot-scope="{ item }">
<h2>#{{ item.Title}}</h2>
<p>#{{ item.Text}}</p>
</div>
</ais-hits>
</template>
</ais-state-results>
