QuickSearch is a SwiftUI SDK that lets you type into a .searchable text field without first having to focus on it, which is how many native utilty apps behave.
This is convenient, since .searchable text fields lack focus control and doesn't allow you to focus programmatically.
QuickSearch can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:
https://github.com/danielsaidi/QuickSearch.git
All you have to do to make QuickSearch work, is to apply a .quickSearch view modifier after .searchable:
struct ContentView: View {
@State
var query = ""
@State
var text = ""
@FocusState
var isTextFieldFocused
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
VStack {
TextField("Type here...", text: $text)
}
.quickSearch(text: $query)
.searchable(text: $query)
}
}
}If you can add .quickSearch directly next to .searchable, you can use .searchable(text:quickSearch:...) instead. It is not as flexible as .searchable, but works well to apply basic .searchable capabilities.
