const recommendClient = recommend('YourApplicationID', 'YourSearchOnlyAPIKey');
const indexName = 'YOUR_INDEX_NAME';

function App({ currentObjectID }) {
  return (
    <FrequentlyBoughtTogether
      recommendClient={recommendClient}
      indexName={indexName}
      objectIDs={[currentObjectID]}
      itemComponent={({ item }) => {
        return (
          <pre>

          </pre>
        );
