How can I make TextField in SwiftUI have tokens like an UISearchBar?
I've tried to insert an UISearchBar so I could use them, but I lost the behavior from the interaction between the TextField and the List.
Thanks
The best way seems to make an UIViewRepresentable
strut for a UISearchBar
with tokens.
It has one binding for the search text stored in an array, searchText
. In it each element will have the text of each token.
/// Brings UISearchBar to SwiftUI. This enables using tokens for searching for iOS and macOS.
struct TokenSearchBar {
@Binding var searchText: [String]
}
extension TokenSearchBar: UIViewRepresentable {
internal func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UISearchBar {
//Configures the Search Bar
let searchBar = UISearchBar()
searchBar.delegate = context.coordinator
return searchBar
}
func updateUIView(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, context: Context) {
if context.coordinator.searchText != searchText {
context.coordinator.searchText = searchText
}
}
/// Coordinator and delegate for the searchbar
internal class Coordinator: NSObject, UISearchBarDelegate {
var parent: TokenSearchBar
var searchBar: UISearchBar?
var searchText: [String] = [] {
didSet {
guard let searchBar = searchBar else {
return
}
//get the current search array
var tokenSearchText = searchText
let lastSearchTextItem: String
if tokenSearchText.isEmpty {
lastSearchTextItem = ""
} else {
lastSearchTextItem = tokenSearchText.removeLast()
}
//compare them with the search array
tokenSearchText.enumerated().forEach {
offset, searchString in
//Get the current tokens.
let currentTokens = searchBar.searchTextField.tokens
//Check if the number of tokens on display can be displayed with this offset. If not it will create a new token at the end.
if currentTokens.count > offset {
//Check if the token at this offset has the same object as the searchstring. If not will insert a new token on this offset.
//I will assume that all represented objects are strings
if let representedObject = currentTokens[offset].representedObject as? String, representedObject != searchString {
let newToken = UISearchToken(icon: nil, text: searchString)
newToken.representedObject = searchString
searchBar.searchTextField.tokens.insert(newToken, at: offset)
}
} else {
let newToken = UISearchToken(icon: nil, text: searchString)
newToken.representedObject = searchString
self.searchBar?.searchTextField.tokens.append(newToken)
}
}
//Trim the number of tokens to be equal to the tokenSearchText
let tokensToRemove = searchBar.searchTextField.tokens.count - tokenSearchText.count
if tokensToRemove > 0 {
searchBar.searchTextField.tokens.removeLast(tokensToRemove)
}
//make the search field text equal to lastSearchTextItem
if searchBar.text != lastSearchTextItem {
searchBar.text = lastSearchTextItem
}
if parent.searchText != self.searchText {
parent.searchText = self.searchText
}
}
}
init(_ searchBar: TokenSearchBar) {
self.parent = searchBar
}
//MARK: UISearchBarDelegate implementation
func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
self.searchBar = searchBar
searchText = []
}
func searchBarSearchButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
self.searchBar = searchBar
//add a new level to the search
if searchText.last?.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines) != "" {
searchText.append("")
}
}
func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
self.searchBar = searchBar
if self.searchText.last != nil, self.searchText[self.searchText.count - 1] != searchText {
self.searchText[self.searchText.count - 1] = searchText
} else {
var tokenText = searchBar.searchTextField.tokens.compactMap{$0.representedObject as? String}
tokenText.append(searchText)
self.searchText = tokenText
}
}
}
}
In iOS 16 Apple are adding this support to SwiftUI's searchable
view modifier: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/form/searchable(text:tokens:placement:prompt:token:)-77cfu
