    DocumentCollection<TechProductDocument> documentCollection; // from DI

        .Select()
        .FacetField(q => q.InStock)
        .Execute();
  1. Optionally, change one or more settings
    DocumentCollection<TechProductDocument> documentCollection; // from DI

    var rersult = documentCollection
        .Select()
        .FacetField(q => q.InStock, facet =>
        {
            facet.Minimum = 3;
            facet.Limit = 5;
        })
        .Execute();
  1. Read data
    rersult
        .Facets(out var data);

    foreach (FacetItemField facetItem in data)
    {
        // facetName = "InStock"
        var facetName = facetItem.Name;
        //facetType = FacetType.Field
        var facetType = facetItem.FacetType;

        foreach (var facetItemValue in facetItem.Values)
        {
            // nested = nested facet (if configured)
            var nested = facetItemValue.Facets;
            // key = value of item's value
            var key = facetItemValue.Key;
            // quantity = quantity of item's value
            var quantity = facetItemValue.Quantity;
        }
    }
