Usage

Import the framework, configure the textField and set the suggestionLabel and suggestionsContentView.

import DLSuggestionsTextField

...

  @IBOutlet weak var suggestionsTextField: TextField!
  private let suggestionsTableView = TableView()
  private let suggestionsLabel = UILabel()

  ...

  func viewDidload() {
    ...
    suggestionsTextField.suggestionLabel = suggestionsLabel
    suggestionsTextField.suggestionsContentView = suggestionsTableView
  }

The framework client has to:

• provide a suggestions content view - here sugestions should be placed;
• (optional) provide a suggestion text view - here proposed selection is placed;
• handle the filtering based on data from textField;
• manage the content and text views.
